How to run it

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