What a rally log can tell you about a match you already played
A match can be scored point by point in all seven sports, and that is free. Plus is what reads the log back afterwards: serve, return, the pressure points your sport has, your longest run and the shape of how the match turned. €3.99 a month.
Serve, return, pressure points and momentum, out of a log you already recorded.
Where the figures come from
Nothing here is estimated. When a match is scored point by point on SetMatcher, every rally is stored with who served and who won it, up to four thousand rallies for a single match. Match statistics replay that log through the same scoring engine the match was played under, so a figure is either read off the record or absent.
That is why the statistics know each sport rather than knowing tennis. The engine holds the serve rotation and the scoring of all seven, so a badminton rally, a squash rally and a padel rally are each counted the way that sport counts them, and a statistic a sport does not have is simply not shown rather than faked. A match entered as a final score has no log and therefore no statistics: there is nothing to read.
What you get
Four readings, each computed from the whole log rather than from a sample, and each shown beside the score of the match it belongs to.
The pressure points are the ones that sport actually has, named the way the sport names them: a break point where a sport has break points, and the equivalent where it does not. Nothing is translated into tennis and nothing is invented for a sport that does not have it.
- Points won on serve
- Points won on return
- Longest run of points
- How it turned
What the free plan already shows
Everything about the match itself. The score set by set, the games, the tiebreaks, who won, when it was played, what it did to both ratings, and the whole history of every match either player has recorded. The live scoreboard, the point-by-point entry screen and the shared live board are free as well, in all seven sports.
The rally log is kept for a free account too. It is not deleted and it is not shortened, so a player who subscribes later reads the statistics of matches they scored years before. Nothing about the record itself depends on paying.
When it is worth paying for
If you score point by point, and often. The figures come from the log and nothing else, so a player who enters final scores will open the page and find it empty, and no subscription changes that. The page says so rather than showing zeroes.
If you do score point by point, this is the part of SetMatcher that is hardest to get anywhere else: an engine that knows the serve rotation of seven sports is not something a spreadsheet does. It is €3.99 a month, and the page about what Plus costs says what happens on the day you stop.
