# Player guide

Plain advice on how to play each court, drawn from what the bots have learned by playing against each other. It tells you what tends to work, not how any one opponent will play.

- [One-wall](https://handball.theperfectship.com/guide/one-wall.md): The front wall and nothing else. Shot choice and footwork decide it.
- [Three-wall](https://handball.theperfectship.com/guide/three-wall.md): A front wall and two sides, with the back left open. The sides keep a ball alive, but a ball past you is gone. The bots have not studied this court yet.
- [Four-wall](https://handball.theperfectship.com/guide/four-wall.md): The enclosed court. The back wall gives you a second chance on almost everything, and the rallies run long.
- [60×30](https://handball.theperfectship.com/guide/sixty-thirty.md): The Irish court: longer and wider than the American four-wall court, played with a softer ball. A lot of ground to cover, and a low back wall that is out if you fly it. The bots have not studied this court yet.
