What is it?
- Try to beat your opponent in a virtual Tennis match, spending your points to see who earned a move of the tennis ball towards the other player (no WRZ$ are spent on your points).
- Players each start with 50 points. Each round players will pm 13Ice how many points they will spend on their next move. The player who spent the highest amount on each court will move the tennis ball towards the other player. The tennis ball will always start at the center of the court.
- Play continues this way until either the ball is knocked out of the court or neither player has any points left. As in tennis, the player who has the ball on their side of the court at the end of the game loses.
How do you Play?
- Post here that you are in. Sign up rounds will be open for 24 hours, subsequent rounds will be open for 24 hours unless all players have posted, then it will be updated earlier.
- Players will be randomly sorted along with their opponents.
- Each player will have 24 hours to pm 13Ice (using Tennis in the subject line), you must list your Round #, court # and the amount you wish to spend on your move in your pm, (you must spend at least 1 point per round).
- You must post in the thread that you have sent your pm. (Do not post how many points you are spending).

How the scoring works:
- No we are not using tennis scoring (because that is the most confusing form of scoring I know ) Updates of the courts and points totals will be shown at each update. Examples of a match is below.
- Players all start with 50 points, whatever points you spend on a move will be deducted from your points total for your next move.
- Round 1 - Player A spends 5 points, player B spends 10 points, player B will advance the tennis ball.
- Round 2 - Player A has 45 points and spends 5, player B has 40 and spends 10, player B will advance the tennis ball.
- Round 3 - Player A has 40 points and spends 15, player B has 30 and spends 15, the ball does not advance.
- Round 4 - Player A has 25 points and spends 10, player B has 15 and spends 5, player A will advance the tennis ball.
- Round 5 - Player A has 15 points and spends 7, player B has 10 and spends 5, player A will advance the tennis ball.
- Round 6 - Player A has 8 points and spends 8, player B has 5 and spends 5, player A will advance the tennis ball. As neither player has any points left and the ball is on player B's side, player A wins.
Attached is a link to see another example. This time Player A tries to win by spending large amounts, but runs out of points. Player B can keep spending 1 point and win the match by knocking the ball out of the court. Click HERE
