Case contract

points is a string of rally winners, each character A or B. A game ends at the first point where a player has at least 4 points and leads by at least 2; characters after that point are ignored. Return "game A"/"game B" when finished; otherwise "deuce" when both have at least 3 points and are level, "advantage A"/"advantage B" when both have at least 3 points and differ by one, else "S-R" using the labels 0, 15, 30, 40 in A-B order. A character other than A or B that is reached before the game ends returns "invalid point <c>".

Why this case matters

Live scoreboards and umpire tablets derive the displayed tennis game score from a raw rally log.
