How to use the badminton scoreboard
Add the player names, or pick Doubles in Settings for pairs. Choose who serves first with Serves first, then after every rally tap the side that won it. The point and the serve both go to that side. When a game is won the board records it, starts the next game with the winner serving, and tells you when players change ends. Game point and Match point tags show when the next rally could finish it.
Undo fixes a wrong tap. For a sports hall screen, Open display window shows a large read-only board. The badminton score counter also draws a chart of rallies won, makes share links and prints a filled or blank score sheet with 30 point boxes per game.
For other rally scoring sports, see the squash scoreboard, the ping pong scoreboard or the volleyball scoreboard.
Badminton scoring the board uses
Every rally wins a point for one side. A game is won by the first side to 21 points with a lead of two. If the score reaches 20-20, play goes on until one side leads by two, and at 29-29 the side that scores the 30th point wins the game. A match is the best of 3 games, and the side that wins a game serves first in the next one.
The server serves from the right service court when their score is even and from the left when it is odd, so you can read the court straight off the board. Players change ends after each game and in the third game when the leading score reaches 11. The Change ends reminder can be switched off in Settings.
