The player who wins the next point takes the game. If Win by 2 Games is turned on, at 5-5, the player must then win by two games, however at 6-6, a tiebreak is played to determine who wins the set. The tiebreak rules are the first player to reach seven points win the tiebreak and set, at 6 points all, the player who wins two consecutive points wins the tiebreak and the set. -The Games per set option allows the player to choose the number of games to win a set.

Whenever you see smoke you need to get the ball back on the other side of the court before you get blown away. -Team Match Timer when turned on, is much like a chess clock whereas once you hit the ball the time stops but when your opponent returns the shot, it begins again. -You can also turn on the Match Timer. Whoever is in the lead when time runs up wins. Challenges are set by the empire, Heavy G. When turned on at the beginning of the match, Heavy G will present a challenge which ever play wins the challenge first receives 30-seconds of unlimited turbo. -The Outlaw Blockers is a malicious square of digital fiberglass that slides back and fourth along the net.
