Field notes
Profiles use compact, comparable details: Beach Tennis is two-on-two on sand, while Platform Tennis is doubles on a heated raised deck for cold-weather play. The page says its research draws on federation rulebooks and governing bodies. Its later reference to 15 sports conflicts with the headline count of 16, so the total is unclear from the extract.
