Score Keeper

One scoring system, two games

Padel took its scoring from tennis. Points go love, 15, 30, 40 and game; at 40 all the score is deuce. With the classic advantage rule, a side must then win two points in a row. With a golden point, the next point after deuce decides the game; it is common in club padel, and tennis formats call the same idea no-ad scoring. Since 2026 the professional padel tours play the Star Point: two advantages, and if deuce comes round a third time, one deciding point.

A set goes to the first side with six games and a lead of two. At six all, a tiebreak decides: the first to seven points with a lead of two. In the tiebreak the player due to serve takes the first point, then the serve passes every two points.

Deciding sets and match tiebreaks

Many club and doubles matches replace a full deciding set with a match tiebreak to ten points, again with a lead of two. Choose “Match tiebreak to 10” in the settings to play it that way. Rules for your league or club always take priority over any app.

Using the Score Keeper on court

Name the two sides, choose tennis or padel and the deuce rule, and tap the button of the side that won each point. The small dot shows who serves; it changes every game and every two points in a tiebreak. If you mis-tap, use Undo. The full Score Keeper stores the running score in your browser, so you can close the page between changeovers.
