Padel Score Keeper
Keep score point by point with advantage, golden point or the new Star Point, tiebreaks at 6-6, a match tiebreak option, and reminders for who serves and when to change ends.
- Choose the deuce rule your club or event uses, one or three sets, and whether a third set is replaced by a match tiebreak.
- Pick the pair that serves first, then tap the pair that wins each point.
- The board shows the score, who serves next and when to change ends. Undo steps back one point.
| Side | Set 1 | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Pair A | 0 | 0 |
| Pair B | 0 | 0 |
Pair A to serve.
Frequently asked questions
How does padel scoring work?
Like tennis: points go 15, 30, 40 and game; six games win a set if you are two games clear, with a tiebreak to seven at 6-6. Matches are usually best of three sets, and many social and club events play a match tiebreak to ten instead of a third set.
What is the golden point?
At 40-40 the next point wins the game, with no advantage. The receiving pair chooses which player receives it. It keeps games short and is used in most club play.
What is the Star Point?
A newer professional rule: at 40-40 you play advantage, and if the advantage is lost you play a second advantage. If that is lost too, the next point (the Star Point) decides the game. It caps long deuce games while keeping some advantage play.
When do we change ends?
After the first game and then every two games (whenever the total number of games in the set is odd), and every six points in a tiebreak. The board shows a reminder.
Assumptions and sources
- In a tiebreak, the pair due to serve serves the first point, then each pair serves two points in turn. The pair that served first in a tiebreak receives first in the next set.
- Professional events may use the Star Point; social and club play mostly use the golden point. Agree before you start.
