Something to practise
Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Refer to the controls when needed.
The objective of a round
Reach eleven points with a two-point lead. Read that aim before choosing your first action. Start with a deliberate move.
The playing sequence
- Serve.
- Move the lower paddle under the ball.
- Hit after the bounce near your baseline.
- A missed return gives a point.
The controls to know
Pointer/paddle buttons; Hit / return; Space serves or hits. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Check any mode label before starting.
One way to understand the rules
An early hit is rejected; wait while positioning the paddle. Use the example as a guide rather than a substitute for reading your board. Verify the rule before continuing.
Pay attention to this rule
The ball-flight model is timing-based, not full tournament physics. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Watch the feedback after an action. A message can explain whether the input was accepted or whether a rule needs attention.
