  • Sets per match and games per set

Normal Match Settings

🏟 Sets & Games

Configure the length of the match.

  • Sets per Match — Total sets required to win the match.
  • Games per Set — Number of games required to win a set.

⚖️ Deuce Rules

Choose how games tied at 40–40 are resolved.

  • Deuce
    Traditional rule — win by 2 points after 40–40, no limit on extra points.

  • Silver Point
    At 40–40, one regular deuce round is played.
    If it's deuce again - the next point wins immediately.
    The receiving team can choose where to serve.

  • Golden Point
    At 40–40, the next point wins immediately — no advantage play.
    The receiving team can chooses where to serve.

⏱ Tie-Break Format

Choose how tie-breaks are triggered.

  • Tie Break
    Standard tie-break at 6–6 (or equivalent based on Games per Set).

  • Davis Cup
    Shorter format — tie-break at 3–3 if Games per Set is set to 4.

🏆 Deciding Set

Set the format for the final set.

  • Regular Set
    Play a standard set for the final set.

  • Super Tie Break
    Tie-break to 10 points, win by 2.

Tip

For shorter matches, combine fewer Games per Set with Davis Cup and Super Tie Break for a faster-paced experience.

Quick Match Settings

🔢 Points

Set the target score when playing in Quick mode.

  • Tap the Points field to select the match’s winning target.
  • The chosen value is used together with your Scoring Type setting (see below) to determine when the match ends.

📊 Scoring Type

Decide how the target Points are counted.

  • Total Score
    The game ends when the combined score of both teams reaches the target Points value.

  • Per Team
    The game ends as soon as either team reaches the target Points value.

Example

  • Total Score Points = 17 → if the score is 9–8, the total is 17, and the match ends.
  • Per Team Points = 17 → if the score is 17–12, the team with 17 wins.

🎾 Serve Rules

Decide how the serve alternates between teams.

  • TieBreak Rules (default)
    Classic tie-break style serving — the first point is served by one team, and then the serve alternates every 2 points between teams.

  • Every X Points
    Custom serving pattern — choose how many points are played before the serve switches (2, 4, 6, or 8).
