The better you get in platform tennis the more you play off the screens, and it's basically a doubles game. That makes for some really long points. Here's a link that has a couple of videos of tiebreakers that are fun to watch and give a sense of how the game is played. The link also mentions The Villages. http://www.platformtennis.org/
