Once the free software has been downloaded and an account has been set up, the player can choose to play the games in several different play-modes:

One on One Mode:

Go up against another player listed in the main lobby. The Skill Rating will ensure that you are matched up with someone suitable in order to ensure a good time and a challenge. By challenging opponents rated slightly higher than yourself you’ll raise your own status if you beat them and raise your skill rating.

Deathmatch/Multiplayer Mode:

This is where a whole bunch of players get in on the action for a fast-paced action packed, every player for himself game. Players are more or less evenly matched in terms of skill level in this free-for-all fight to the death. As many as 3 to 8 players can take part and the player with the highest score at the end of the game wins. Prizes for multi-player games are awarded as follows: 4 players or less - one prize, 5 to 7 players - two prizes, and 8 players - 3 prizes.

Teamplay Mode:

Two teams (2-4 players per team) go head to head fighting for the victory of their own team and backing up their own team members along the way.  Teamplay is available in several versions: Capture The Flag version is a is where each team has it’s own flag and the players from the opposing team try to take their oppenents’ flag from their base and bring it back to their own. Alternatively the Team Deathmatch version racks up the combined frag-count for the entire team and the team with the highest count wins.

Score-based Game Mode:

The player goes up against the simulator in score-based games. The player chooses from several different settings - Skill Rating, time limit, specialized weapons selection, number of “bots” to beat, and number of rounds to fight.  The players is up against AI-driven “bots” or race against the clock and the winner is determined by the skill of the player and the final score tally displaying the number of points they were able to accumulate throughout the game. Scores in the pool of opponents are compared and the player with the highest overall score in the group wins the grand prize –often the jackpots are very high.

Progressive Tournaments Mode:

The Progressive Tournaments are similar to Score-based games where players are up again “bots” and try to achieve the highest score.  The difference is in tournament mode the player can play the over and over within a set time limit while improving their score.  Also, these games are open to an unlimited number of players and offer a minimum guaranteed prize with prizes being awarded based on the total prize that is likely to grow and grow.  The more players that join in, the bigger the grand prize gets, usually offering HUGE jackpots to the winner.

It should be noted that SkillGround offers and strictly enforces complete fair gaming.
