Table Tennis Scoreboard
Tap to score each point and this ping-pong scoreboard tracks games to 11 win-by-2, swaps serve every 2 points, alternates every point at deuce, and tallies best-of-5 or best-of-7 matches.

How to play
- Enter both player names, pick who serves first, and choose best-of-5 or best-of-7, then tap Start Match.
- Tap Point under whichever player won each rally — the score, serve indicator, and deuce flag update automatically.
- Watch the serve dot: it swaps every 2 points normally, but starts swapping every single point once the score reaches 10-10.
- Use Undo Last Point to fix a misclick — it restores both the previous score and the correct server, even across a game or match win.
Table tennis scoring sounds simple until the serve rotation trips everyone up mid-rally: possession swaps every two points, but the instant a game hits 10-10 it swaps after every single point instead. This scoreboard tracks that automatically, so nobody has to count serves in their head while also trying to win the point. Tap Point for whoever won the rally, and the board updates the score, shows a live serve indicator on the correct player, and flags deuce the moment it starts. Games are won at 11 with a 2-point lead, and the match tally supports best-of-5 or best-of-7 formats, calling the match the instant a player clinches the majority of games.
Frequently asked questions
- How does the serve rotation actually work in table tennis?
- Serve alternates between players every 2 points scored in total. Once the game reaches 10-10 (deuce), the rule changes: serve then swaps after every single point instead of every 2, all the way until someone wins by 2. This scoreboard tracks total points played and switches the rule automatically at 10-10.
- Why doesn't 11-10 end the game?
- A game requires reaching 11 points AND leading by at least 2. At 11-10 the leader only has a 1-point margin, so play continues — the score keeps climbing (12-10 would win, but 11-10 or 12-11 would not) until someone pulls 2 points clear.
- What's the difference between best-of-5 and best-of-7?
- Best-of-5 ends as soon as a player wins 3 games; best-of-7 requires 4 game wins. The scoreboard tracks a running game tally alongside the current game's score and declares the match over the instant either player reaches the majority needed for the chosen format.
