Q: The match is the term that refers to the entire playing time of tennis. A match is comprised of either the best of three sets, or the best of five sets (depending on your league). Each set is played best out of six games. One player serves per game. A game is generally won when a player (or team if you are playing doubles) wins four points. A point is started when one player serves, and the opponent hits it back and the point continues in a back and forth manner until one player hits it out or in the net. Keep in mind that a game might take seven points, or more, to end if, for instance, one player wins three points and another wins four. Each point is given its own value for each player:  1st point won is "15 points" 2nd point won is "30 points" 3rd point won is "40 points" 4th point won makes GAME (signifying the end of the game) During each game, it is the server’s job to call out the score so that the opponent can hear it (unless you are actually playing in a professional setting in which they have a score keeper). You are always supposed to say your score, followed by your opponent’s score. For example:  If you have won two points and your opponent has won one, you would call out “30-15”. If your opponent has won three points and you have won one, you would call out “15-40”. Each set is played until one player or team (if you are playing doubles) has won six games. At the beginning of your serve, you must always call out the number of games each player or team has won, starting with your score. For example: If you have won four games, and your opponent has won two, you would call out “4-2” before beginning your “service game” (the game you serve the ball in, rather than receive). This refers to both games and sets. Here are some examples:  If you both have a score of 40 to 40, then you have to win two points in a row in order to win the game. (See Step 3 below for more details). If you both have won 5 games, and the score is 5 to 5, then you will need to win two more games in a row to make it 7-5 in order to win the set. If it is 5 to 5 and you win the next game, the score becomes 6-5. If you lose the next game and the score is 6-6, you will need to win 8 to 6 in order to win the set. Some sets have had scores of 12 to 10 or even higher. Depending on the league you are playing in, you will either need to win three out of five sets, or two out of three sets. However, like with games and sets, you must win by two. That means that matches can sometimes be five out of seven sets, or even seven out of nine sets if you and your opponent keep tying. On a scorecard, you should write the score of each set down. You should always write your score first. For example, if you won the match, your scorecard might look like this: 6-3, 4-6, 6-2. That means that you won the first set 6 games to 3; you lost the second set 4 games to 6; and you won the third set 6 games to 2.
A: Consider the difference between a game, set, and a match. Know how each game is scored. Know how to call the score when you are serving. Understand how each set is scored. Know that you must always win by two if there is a tie. Know when the match has been won (or lost). Know how to write down the score after the match.

Q: Cut small rectangles out of felt or snip numerous pipe cleaners or plastic straws into small sections.  Use multi-colored materials for rainbow sprinkles or dark brown materials for chocolate sprinkles. Attach the sprinkles to the frosting using a hot glue gun. Position the sprinkles in randomized, scattered directions. Do not arrange the sprinkles to face the same direction since this will not look appropriately cupcake-like. Wear a red knit cap and use hot glue to attach a red pipe cleaner to the uppermost tip. Bend the pipe cleaner slightly so that it looks like the stem of a cherry. Dress in tights and a sweatshirt.  The tights and sweatshirt should match the color of the frosting. If you used white frosting, then wear white clothes. If you used chocolate frosting, wear brown clothes. Alternatively, you could wear flesh-tone tights instead of colored tights. Wear short running shorts above the tights, checking to make sure that they do not extend past the bottom of the cupcake costume wrapper. You could also trade the sweatshirt for a tank top or sleeveless shirt. Wear shoes that match your tights, if possible.  Wear plain sandals or flats. Avoid elaborately decorated shoes. If you cannot match your shoes to your tights, simply select the simplest pair of shoes you can find.
A: Add sprinkles. Top the outfit off with a cherry. Wear the right clothes underneath. Avoid distracting footwear. Finished.

Q: There are a number of apps and programs that you can use to create a photo mosaic. You could create the image from scratch with nearly any photo editing software, but the easiest way to make is to download a program that’s specifically designed to create your photo mosaic.  Some popular photo mosaic programs include Mazaika, Pro Photo Mosaic Creator, and Andrea Mosaic. You can also find some programs which are hosted online, meaning you don’t have to download them. Just visit the website and upload your photos. Mosaically and EasyMoza are both examples of this type of software, and you can upload photos from your phone, computer, or social media profiles. After you open your mosaic software, you’ll be prompted to choose a source photo. This will be the overall image that’s formed when you put the smaller images together. Scan the photo in if you want want to create a digital mosaic from a physical photo, or upload it if it’s already on your phone or computer.  The effect of a digital photo mosaic is similar to how small pixels make up a larger digital image. You can choose a photo of a person, a landscape photo, or a still object. Try to find a photo containing some color contrast, as this will make the finished project more interesting to look at. However, avoid photos with intricate details, as these can be lost in a mosaic. This will be the directory or library that the software will use to create the mosaic. Typically, you’ll need a minimum of 100-150 pictures, but the more photos you upload, the better the software will be able to match the colors in your source photo.  These may be called “cell images” in your software. You can add any pictures you like to the folder. However, you may want to use only photos which relate to your source image. For instance, if you’re creating a mosaic of a loved one, you might want to use only pictures of you and that person, if you have enough of them, or pictures of all of that person’s favorite things. Return to your photo mosaic software program and follow the prompts. When asked, choose the folder you just created and click “Upload” or “OK.” If the program won’t upload the entire folder at once, choose a few photos at a time to upload instead. The changes you can make will depend on the software program that you’re using, but many will allow you to adjust the size of the grid, the color values, the image resolution, or even the source photo, if you’re not happy with the result. You may have an option to choose the resolution of your photo. If you’re just using the photo as a phone or computer background, you can choose a lower resolution. However, if you’re planning on printing the photo, opt for a higher resolution. Consult the software’s FAQ or help page if you’re not sure what resolution to use. Once you have the mosaic exactly how you want it, follow the software program’s instructions for saving, printing, or sharing your file. If the software requires a purchase in order for you to use the file, you’ll need to enter your personal information and credit card number in order to continue.
A:
Install a photo mosaic software on your phone or computer. Scan in or upload the source photo for your mosaic. Make a new folder on your computer and fill it with photos for your mosaic. Select the mosaic folder in the software. Experiment with the program's settings to edit your mosaic. Save or print your photo mosaic when you’re finished.
