7. Scoring a Tennis Match in StatInput
StatInput supports point-by-point game scoring as a feature for those who wish to utilize it. Each point in a single game of the set can be tracked.
Point-by-Point scoring is optional; if you wish, you may choose not to use it and simply score sets.
To update set scores, use the corresponding drop down lists for each team and set.
This will reveal the tiebreaker fields for the court.
When an individual court has finished its match, click the 'Finish Court' to finalize the pairing.
Note: The match score/court status will not update until you click Finish and finalize the court.
To mark a court as finished, you'll need to set the Order of Finish. If you are not specifically tracking order of finish or if a court is abandoned as unfinished, you can simply select 'Finished'. Click 'Save Changes' to update the match.
If you need to make changes to a finished court, you will need to click the blue 'Change Finish' button and switch the Order of Finish back to 'Unfinished' first; changes cannot be made to a court marked as finished.
If a court is stopped or abandoned after the match point has been clinched, you can mark either the current set or the next set (if you want to preserve the abandoned score) as 'uf'.
If you need to make changes to your pairings mid-match, click the light blue 'Edit Pairings' button near the top of the page to open the pairings window.
You can edit pairings directly in the window and save your changes using the button at the bottom of the popup.
Please note that the same pairing rules apply (players cannot appear on more than one court and all pairings must be complete). Also any scores that have already been entered for the court will remain even if a pairing is updated with different players.
If you need to add additional courts (such as exhibition matches that will be played during the dual), you can do so at the bottom of the 'Edit Pairings' window.
Please note that only exhibition courts can be added mid-match. Match scoring rules must be set and changed prior to the beginning of scoring that match.
Click on the 'Print Reports' button to create printable PDFs of the match
In the popup window, choose your report format and which pages to include
You can click on either the Doubles or Singles heading to collapse the court view. This will hide the individual courts from your view (but not live stats or reports) to make it easier to track singles courts once doubles have concluded.
By default, auto-save is enabled and will automatically save and update stats as you make changes. However, should you wish to deactivate this feature, simply uncheck the box near the top of the screen labeled 'Auto-save on updates'.
Updates will not be saved or pushed live automatically. If you navigate to a new page in your browser with this setting disabled, unsaved changes may be lost.
If you have edited multiple courts at once, you can save them all simultaneously using the 'Save All Changes' button near the top of the page.
Auto-sync changes can be toggled on and off using the checkbox near the top of the page.
When enabled, Auto-sync changes will automatically update your screen with changes made to the match in another application or by another person. This can be helpful when you have multiple people keeping score for the same match to make sure that any changes made on another computer will show live on your screen as well.
You can also check for updated data at any time by clicking the blue 'Update' button near the top of the page.
