How do I enter a score?

The bit that happens most often.

  1. Tap the cell where the two players cross on the results grid (the Sheet), or a row in Results to correct one already entered.
  2. Type the set scores, from the left-hand player’s side. The initials above each column say which is which. How many sets you are asked for depends on this season’s format (see Match formats).
  3. Extra boxes appear when needed. Enter a set as 7-6 and an optional tiebreak-loser’s-points box appears. Split one set each in a two-set format and a match tiebreak (to 10) becomes required, because otherwise nobody has won.
  4. Check the panel at the bottom. It spells out who won and what each player gets before you save.
  5. Save score.

If it queries your score

An unusual score, 8-6 say, tints amber with a note. It does not stop you, so save it anyway if that is genuinely what happened. The only things that actually block saving are a set tied at the same score, or a two-set format left at one set all with no match tiebreak entered. In both cases there is truly no winner yet.

If a player enters it

A box admin’s entry is final immediately. A player’s own entry waits for their opponent to confirm it, Or it confirms itself after a few days if nobody objects. The league owner sets how many, and the default is 3. Until then it shows as awaiting confirmation. Either player can also correct an already-confirmed score themselves; the old score stands until the opponent confirms the change.

Confirming is between the two players. Whoever runs the box is not asked and does not have a queue of other people’s scores to clear. A score nobody answers counts anyway after those few days, so nothing has to be chased. You can still confirm one if you run the box, and there is a Confirm on the match itself, but the app will not ask you to.
