🏓 How to Read the Table Tennis Scoreboard

Welcome to your new digital table tennis scoreboard! Whether you’re a tournament organizer, club player, or casual competitor, this guide will help you quickly understand how to read and interpret the scores displayed on the board.

📦 Scoreboard Overview

Our table tennis scoreboard is designed with 6 digital displays, providing clear, real-time updates on the game and match progress.

🔍 Display Layout:

Section	Description	Range
Set Left	Number of sets won by the left player/team	0–3 or 0–4
Score Left (2 digits)	Current game points for left player/team	00–11 (or up to 21)
Score Right (2 digits)	Current game points for right player/team	00–11 (or up to 21)
Set Right	Number of sets won by the right player/team	0–3 or 0–4

🧠 Understanding the Terms

🎯 Points

Also known as the game score.
Each player scores points during a game.
A player needs to reach 11 points (or 21 in some formats) and lead by 2 points to win a game.
After each game, the points reset to zero.

🏆 Sets

A set is won by the player who first reaches 11 points (win by 2).
The match is played as best of 5 or best of 7:
- Best of 5 → First to win 3 sets.
- Best of 7 → First to win 4 sets.
Sets are more important than points, as they determine the match winner.

📖 Example Scenario

Let’s say the scoreboard displays the following:

[ 2 ] [ 0 9 ] || [ 1 1 ] [ 1 ]

Left player has won 2 sets so far.
Right player has won 1 set.
Current game score: Left = 9 points, Right = 11 points.
This means the right player just won the current game, and their set count will increase to 2 in the next update.
