Deck tennis

The sport has been standardized and formalized in several countries under names such as "tennikoit" or "ring tennis".

[1] In 1981, Mariano Herrera and Alejandro Nougues from Argentina won the first and only Deck Tennis World Championship celebrated on the beach in Punta del Este, Uruguay.

The scoring system is commonly the same as regular tennis: Love, 15, 30, 40, Deuce, Advantage, Game.

In the 1936 film Piccadilly Jim, Robert Montgomery as "Piccadilly Jim" is depicted playing the game with his romantic rival in the film Ralph Forbes as "Lord Frederick Priory" on the deck of an ocean liner.
