Yes. DropShot runs in any web browser and as a native app for Android and iOS, so you can manage competitions on a laptop and score from courtside on your phone.

Start a match and follow the setup wizard — it walks you through match type (singles or doubles), player selection, and the rules to use. Once play begins you score point-by-point, and DropShot handles deuce, advantage, and tiebreaks for you.

You can play best-of-1 or best-of-3 sets, switch on no-ad (sudden-death) deuce, and choose whether the final set uses a tiebreak. Organisers can also save named rule sets and reuse them across competitions.

Yes. Scores can be edited during a match, and on submission screens the back control clears the cell it lands on so you can re-enter a value before confirming.

Yes — choose between a clean default scoreboard or a broadcast-style layout with match time. Scoreboards sync live across every connected screen, and you can manage multiple courts from a single display-control page.

Create a competition, choose the format (singles, doubles, mixed, or team), and set up the stages — for example round-robin groups feeding into knockout rounds. You can then schedule fixtures to dates, times, and courts.

Results go through a two-tier check: a player submits the score, and an administrator can quick-approve it or open a full review. Once verified, winners progress through the bracket automatically and the league table updates.

DropShot uses an ELO rating system that weights each result by margin of victory, so a comfortable win moves your rating more than a tight one. Ratings update as verified results come in.
