Question 1

TARGET SERVE

Accepted Answer

Players have 90 seconds to complete up to 15 serves, aiming for designated scoring zones. More difficult and smaller targets earn higher point values.

Question 2

PRECISION DINKING

Accepted Answer

Players receive 15 neutral feeds in 90 seconds and choose which target zone to attack. Feeds may come from an event volunteer or from another player selected by the participant, positioned at center court. Each feed is directed toward the front center of the court, and the player chooses which target zone to attack with a controlled dink. Smaller or more difficult targets earn more points. Bad feeds are replayed and do not count against the player.

Question 3

POWER & SPEED

Accepted Answer

Players have 60 seconds to hit 5 serves as hard as possible. Serve speed is measured by radar, and the average speed of the player’s three fastest legal serves becomes their score.

Question 4

REACTION & HANDS

Accepted Answer

Players face rapid-fire feeds from a ball machine or volunteer feeder from two positions: the kitchen line and the baseline. Players must react quickly and return as many balls as possible over the net and into the court. Successful returns earn points, testing reflexes, hand speed, and control from both close and deep court positions.

Question 5

COURT ACCURACY

Accepted Answer

Players choose from designated hitting positions in the back half of the court: left, center, or right. From each position, they aim for marked target zones on the opposite side of the net. Points are awarded based on accuracy, with smaller or more difficult targets worth more. The challenge tests a player’s ability to place shots precisely from different areas behind the kitchen.
