ScoringBeach Tennis Scoring
Tennis numbers, but with a twist at deuce. Here is exactly how points, games, sets, and the tie-break work.
Beach tennis is scored like tennis. 15, 30, 40, game. but with no advantage: at 40-40 (deuce) a single "golden point" decides the game. Sets are usually first to 6 games (win by two, with a tie-break at 6-6), and matches are best of three with a 10-point match tie-break replacing a full third set.
Points, Games, Sets.
Points
A game is scored 15, 30, 40, game. At 40-40 (deuce) there is no advantage. the very next point, the golden point, wins the game. In mixed doubles the receiving team often chooses who returns it.
Games & sets
Win 6 games (by two) to take a set. At 6-6 a tie-break (first to 7, win by two) decides it.
Match
Matches are typically best of three sets, with a 10-point match tie-break replacing a full deciding set. Formats vary by event, so confirm before you start.
