Scoring, your way

Tennis matches are decided by sets β€” full sets, short sets, pro sets or a match tiebreak, depending on how much court time you have. Set the match format in the tournament and enter set results; the scoreboard tracks match outcome, sets and games won, and standings.

Score however fits your club: the organizer enters results from the admin screen, a tablet at the desk runs an interactive scoreboard, or turn on Player Scoring so players submit from their own phones from the court. Remote Mode controls every connected scoreboard and TV from one place.

Win–loss records, sets and games won and head-to-head history save to every player's profile, and an SPR (Scoreholio Player Rating) carries across events.

Common questions

Can I run a club ladder?

Yes. The Ladder format keeps a standing order where players challenge up and defend their spot, with results and history saved all season.

How do I keep a doubles mixer on schedule?

Use short sets or a match tiebreak, and let Scoreholio generate the next round the moment the last court finishes. The tournament calculator estimates total time from your court count and match length.

How do players score β€” do they need the app?
