Serve and service court, always right

Undo
Wrong side? One tap takes the last point back, as often as you need.

A 60-second timeout per player with a countdown ring, then straight back to the match.

Badminton rules in short
How badminton is scored.
The app knows these rules so you don't have to. Here they are anyway, for the next argument at the net.
21
Rally scoring to 21
Every rally scores a point, whoever served. A game goes to the first side with 21 points and a lead of two. 15-point games are there for a shorter format.
30
The 30-point cap
At 29:29 the next rally wins the game. The app ends the game for you at 30, so nobody has to remember the rule.
R/L
Service court
The rally winner serves next: from the right court on an even score, from the left on an odd one. The tile shows which half.
11
Change ends
In the deciding game, players change ends when the leader reaches 11. Your watch taps you on the wrist when it is time.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
Does the app use rally scoring?
Yes. Every rally gives a point to the side that wins it, and the rally winner serves next. A game goes to 21 with a two-point lead, and the game ends at 30 points at the latest.
How does the app show the service court?
The serving player's tile shows a half-filled circle. Right half: serve from the right court (even score). Left half: serve from the left court (odd score).
Do I need my iPhone on court?
No. The Apple Watch app runs on its own. Leave the phone in your bag.
How do I score without touching the screen?
Turn on Gesture Scoring in the watch app's settings. Double Tap (tap index finger and thumb together twice) adds a point for you, and Wrist Flick (turn your wrist away and back quickly) adds one for your opponent. Double Tap needs Apple Watch Series 9, Ultra 2 or newer. Leave gestures off if you wear the watch on your playing arm.
Does the match count as a workout?
On Apple Watch, yes. With Track as workout on, each match is saved to Apple Health as a badminton workout with duration, heart rate and active calories, and it fills your Activity rings. You can turn it off in the settings.
The workout is not saved. What can I do?
Open the Settings app on your iPhone, go to Health → Data Access & Devices (or Settings → Health → Apps on the watch), select the app and allow it to write workouts, heart rate and active energy.
