The scoring rules used
- Points go 15, 30, 40, game. At 40–40 the chosen deuce rule applies: Advantage, Golden Point or Star Point.
- A set is six games with a two-game lead, so 6–4 or 7–5. At 6–6 a tie-break to seven, two clear, makes it 7–6.
- Best of three is the standard match. The match tie-break option replaces a third set with a tie-break to ten, two clear. One set is a shortened match.
- Pairs take turns to serve each game, and the players in a pair alternate. In a tie-break the next server serves one point, then each player serves two. The pair that received first in a tie-break serves first in the next set.
- Serve from the right on the first point of each game, then alternate. Change ends after every odd-numbered game in each set (first, third, fifth and so on), counting a tie-break as the 13th game, and after every six tie-break points.

Questions about the scorekeeper
- What is the difference between Advantage, Golden Point and Star Point?
- With Advantage, a pair at deuce must win two points in a row. With Golden Point, the first deuce is decided by one point. With Star Point, there are two advantage chances; if the game reaches deuce a third time, one deciding point wins it.
- Who chooses the side on a deciding point?
- The receiving pair chooses to receive on the right or the left, without swapping their positions. In a mixed match the receiver must be the same sex as the server. The scorekeeper says “receiving pair chooses” instead of naming a side.
- How does the tie-break work?
- At six games all, a tie-break is played to seven points with a two-point lead and the set is recorded 7–6. The next server serves one point, then each player serves two in turn. The match tie-break works the same way but goes to ten.
- Can we change who serves first in a pair?
- Yes, at the start of each set. The scorekeeper asks both pairs who serves first. Which pair serves first is not a choice: it follows on from the previous set.
- What does Undo undo?
- The last thing entered, every time you press it: a point, or the serving choice at the start of a set. It works back across games, sets, tie-breaks and a finished match, and restores the score, server and side exactly.
- Where is the match saved?
- In this browser on this device. A refresh keeps the match, and you need a connection to open the page the first time. Starting a new match moves the old one to Recent matches, where the last five are kept. Nothing is uploaded unless you turn on the live scoreboard.
- Can spectators follow the score on their phones or a big screen?
- Yes, if you choose to. Share live scoreboard creates a view-only link and QR code, with a big-screen view for a TV. Anyone with the link sees the pair names, player names and score, but cannot change anything. Your device needs a connection and this page must stay open for the board to update. Turning sharing off, creating a new link or starting another match closes the old link.
