Match formats on offer
The list narrows to your sport, and the names are the ones on the picker. Each bar is how long a match usually runs, against the longest format of its kind.
Tennis and padel
The usual default. At one set all, a match tiebreak to 10, won by two, settles it. Padel too
At one set all, you play a third set. Padel too
Plays the same as the first, under the name some leagues prefer.
The default with a shorter decider.
Sets to 4 with a tiebreak at 4-4, then a match tiebreak to 10. Built for a midweek evening.
One set, or one set to 8 games.
Squash, badminton and pickleball, best of 3 or 5 games:
Games to 11 or 15, won by two.
Won by two, until 30 ends it whatever the margin (21 on games to 15).
Won by two. Or one game to 15, where 15-14 wins it.
On these the tables say Games and Points where a tennis league says Sets and Games. It is the same table, in the sport’s own words.
Make your own
The last line of every format list is Make your own, for a club that plays something not listed. Pick how your club plays (match tiebreaks, short sets, full sets or straight games) and set the numbers.
Scores are checked against it like any other format: a number the rules cannot produce is refused.
A recorded tiebreak set shows in proper notation, for example 7-6(5).
