How to run it

  1. 1

    Before the first ball

    Choose the points per match: 24 is common, 16 or 18 when time is short. Time the first round and adjust.

  2. 2

    During each round

    Every player keeps the points their pair scores. Write both scores on the sheet or enter them in the generator.

  3. 3

    The winner

    Everyone plays the same number of matches, so the highest total wins. Ties go to matches won, then to head-to-head.
