Tennis is an enjoyable sport for two or four individuals to play at one time. However, a number of on-court games can be contested by three players or a group larger than four. One of the most popular tennis games is King of the Court, a game that can theoretically be played with any number of players.

King of the Court• During a game of King of the Court one player begins

as king, while the rest of the group lines up behind the baseline on the opposite side of the court. To overtake the king, a challenger must win two of three points. In some cases these points must be won in succession, though rules vary. If the king wins a single point, the challenger goes to the back of the line and the king faces his or her next opponent. For every challenger the king sends to the back of the line, he or she earns a point. A game of king of the court can be played to any number, though most games end with a king scoring between 11 and 21 points.
