Advantage
Once the score gets to 40-40, it is known as deuce. With Advantage turned ON, once at deuce, one player must win two consecutive points to take the game. The person to win the first point after deuce is said to have the "Advantage."
With Advantage turned OFF, the person to win the first point after deuce, wins the game.
Win by 2 games
With win by 2 games turned ON, if the score in a set becomes five-games-all, one player must be two games ahead to win the set. However, if the score reaches six-games-all, a tiebreak is played to decide who wins the set.
With Win by 2 games turned OFF, the person to win the required number of Games Per Set wins.
TIEBREAK RULES
The first player to reach seven points, wins the tiebreak and the set. But if the score reaches six-points-all, the winner is the first player to win two points in a row.
Games per Set
Choose the number of games necessary to win a set. Minimum is 2 games, maximum is 6 games.
Sets per Match
Choose the number of sets necessary to win the match. Minimum is 1, maximum is 5.
AI difficulty
The default setting is Pro. With practice and effort, you'll feel right at home with this difficulty. If you still can't get the hang of it, you can set it to Amateur, and if you're a big shot who loves extra challenge, you can set it to Veteran.
Time Bombs
With Time Bombs turned ON, any winning point deposits a time bomb where the ball last touched. The Time Bomb will then do what time bombs do, and go off after about 5 seconds of game time. Watch out for the smoking fuse, as this means explosion is imminent.
Team Match Timer
When turned ON, you have the chosen amount of time to complete all your return shots in a match. As soon as you hit your shot, the clock stops, and as soon as your opponent hits their shot, the clock starts again. It works very much like a chess clock.
Match Timer
When turned ON, this represents the entire length of time for gameplay. Whoever leads when time runs out, wins the game. The clock only runs when the ball is in play.
Challenges
When turned ON, the coolest and fattest line judge around, Heavy G offers you a challenge at the beginning of every match. Complete the challenge and earn yourself 30 seconds of unlimited turbo. When turned OFF, Heavy G will leave you alone.
