Your objective

Reach eleven points with a two-point lead. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Follow this game’s rules rather than another version’s.

The steps to play

  1. Serve.
  2. Move the lower paddle under the ball.
  3. Hit after the bounce near your baseline.
  4. A missed return gives a point.

Choosing and moving on screen

Pointer/paddle buttons; Hit / return; Space serves or hits. Read a button’s label before selecting it. Return to the rules if the result is unexpected.

One way to understand the rules

An early hit is rejected; wait while positioning the paddle. Your next round may have a different position, so inspect it before acting. Take a moment to compare.

A common point of confusion

The ball-flight model is timing-based, not full tournament physics. Compare the situation with the worked example. Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart.
