Why is your scoring system so stupid? I can live with the fact you call zero "love", it's a little weird, but fine. I can live with it starting out 15 and then 30, each time you score you get 15 points, kind of pointless but alright. I can even understand the "advantage" thing when it's a tie and you both have enough points to win, you just need to be ahead by two, and the ahead by two thing I understand because it just helps reduce the chance of the wrong person winning from sheer luck.
The real problem I have... is with 40. I mean come on, what kind of a stupid scale is 15, 30, 40? That means NOTHING. If it was 45, then I'd be ok with it. Better yet, make it 1, 2, 3 like normal numbers! You don't need the 15. Seriously, the 40 is just wrong for so many reasons.
And while we're at it, the game basically encourages playing it in a way that's boring. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy playing tennis from time to time. But you're encouraged to just score as fast as you can, scoring directly on the serve is considered a very good thing. Well that's BORING, both to play and to watch. You know what's fun? Volleying the ball back and forth like 25 times before someone scores. The volleying is fun, and it also makes the actual score that much more dramatic. So how about a scoring system that encourages longer volleys, like maybe when you score, you get one point for each time the ball was volleyed or something.
Seriously though, lose the 40, it's stupid.
