Creating a Match
A single match in three clicks. This guide covers a quick match from the format to the final result. For a league match between teams, see the team setup guide.
Set up the match
- On the start screen click Quick match (⌘ N).
- Choose the type: singles or doubles.
- Choose the points per game: 7, 11, 15 or 21.
- Choose best of 1, 3, 5 or 7 games.
- Click Start, or press Enter.
The app remembers the last format you played. If you change it, a button called The usual appears to go back to 11 points, best of 5.
The match panel
Type the player names in the two big boxes. That is the name shown on every scoreboard.
- +1: click it every time a player wins a point. If you make a mistake, −1 removes it.
- Serve: it is tracked for you. The strip at the top says who serves, and the button with the ball and the arrow (Change serve) changes it by hand if needed.
- Timeout: starts a one-minute timeout, with its countdown in OBS.
- Yellow and Red: add the umpire's cards.
- Swap sides: flips the scoreboards if the players change ends. At the end of each game the app already does it for you.
At the end of a game
- The app asks you to confirm. Click Continue to start the next game, or Cancel if the last point was wrong and you want to remove it.
- While the notice is open, OBS shows how the games stand and who won the last one, flashing so it can be seen.
At the end of the match
The app asks what you want to do:
- Keep names and play another: a rematch with the same players.
- Clear everything: start from scratch.
- Close: leave it as it is.
The buttons at the bottom
Under the panel there are shortcuts for the things you need less often: resetting the points of the current game, clearing the games played, removing the cards, showing the match screen or the game scores on the scoreboards, opening the club crests and opening the remote in your Mac's browser.
Show it on screen and on your stream
Everything you do in the panel appears instantly wherever the scoreboard is shown.
- For the hall, click Show on screen (⌘ ⇧ M) and drag the scoreboard window to the projector. See the venue TV guide.
- For your stream, add the scoreboard to OBS. See the OBS setup guide.
- For the umpire, open the remote on a phone. See remote control.
A team match is saved as you play, so if you close the app by accident you can restore it with Continue where I left off (⌘ R).
