The Beach Tennis Scoring App.
BeachTennisRef.App is the only scoring app built specifically for beach tennis -- with ITF rule enforcement, correct serve rotation, tie-break logic, undo, offline support, and a live spectator scoreboard. Works on any device, no install needed.
Why BeachTennisRef exists
Beach tennis has distinct rules from regular tennis -- no-advantage scoring, different tie-break serving (ITF Rule 8b), specific match formats, and its own serve rotation. Generic tennis apps that include a "beach tennis mode" handle the score format but ignore the rules underneath. BeachTennisRef is the first app built from the ground up for beach tennis officiating.
Everything a Beach Tennis Referee Needs.
ITF Rule Enforcement
BeachTennisRef enforces ITF beach tennis rules automatically. No-advantage scoring. Correct serve rotation per set. Tie-break serving per Rule 8b (alternating serves after the first, every two points). Match format and side-switching enforced throughout.
Full Undo for Every Action
Tapped the wrong player's point? Mis-set the first server? Every action -- points, let calls, first server selection, serve changes -- is undoable with one tap. Go back as many steps as you need without disrupting the match.
Any Device -- No Install
Open app.beachtennisref.app in any browser. Android, iPhone, iPad, Windows, Mac -- it runs on all of them. No app store install, no download. Hand a referee a phone they've never seen and they can start scoring in under a minute.
Live Spectator Scoreboard
Generate a shareable link. Spectators, coaches, and parents open it on any phone to follow the score in real time -- current serve, set scores, match status. No app needed on their end.
Offline Support
Scores fully offline. Beach courts, outdoor venues, facilities with poor reception -- BeachTennisRef stores everything locally and syncs when connectivity returns. Your match data is never at risk from a bad signal.
Serve and Court Tracking
The app always knows who serves, which side each team is on, and when ends change. The court view shows current serving player and side assignment, eliminating the "wait, who serves next?" problem mid-match.
Doubles and Singles
Supports both doubles and singles formats with correct rule application for each. Player names display on the scoreboard so spectators always know who they're watching.
Match History
Every match is saved automatically. Review past matches, share results, or replay the event timeline. Match data is yours -- it stays accessible whether or not your subscription is active.

Why Generic Tennis Apps Fall Short.
Several tennis apps include a "beach tennis mode." Here's what they get wrong.
Wrong Tie-Break Serving
ITF Rule 8b specifies that in a tie-break, the first point is served by the player whose turn it is, then serve alternates every two points. Generic tennis apps use standard tennis tie-break logic (7-point, different alternation pattern), which is incorrect for beach tennis.
No Side-Switch Logic
Beach tennis changes ends at specific intervals during play. Generic apps track the score but don't know when ends should change or prompt the referee. BeachTennisRef tracks and signals ends changes automatically per ITF format.
No Hindrance and Let Tracking
Beach tennis has specific let and hindrance rules. Generic tennis apps don't handle these -- they're not part of standard tennis. BeachTennisRef includes let calls and hindrance actions as first-class events that are logged and undoable.
iOS Only or No Offline
The most capable generic option (Tennis Scoreboard) is iOS only with no documented offline support. Beach courts often have poor cell coverage. BeachTennisRef works fully offline on any device.
