What this code means

Four axis reads.

Every letter in IACE is one of the four DinkType™ axes. Here's how each one shows up in this archetype's game.

I
Cognitive style

Intuitive

Reads the rally as it unfolds — less script, more instinct, the best shots come from feel.

A
Court energy

Assertive

Drives tactics, calls positioning, sets the tempo — the partner can lean on this for the next move.

C
Risk appetite

Conservative

Grinds percentage play — smart shots, low unforced errors, attrition wins the score over time.

E
Emotional read

Expressive

Energy is visible — fist pumps, big calls, audible exhales. Rallies the team with body language.
