Record 3 2011-08-29

English

Subject field(s)
  • Racquet Sports
DEF

A scoring system in which a maximum of 7 points(sum of the scores of both players) constitutes a game. In such a system the traditional way of keeping score, i. e. 15-30-40 may be replaced with 1-2-3, or the traditional way may be retained until the score reaches 3-3(=40-all or "deuce"), in which case the next point is to be the game point for both sides, with the receiver to elect which side(s) he will return the serve. The purpose of using this system is to limit the number of deuces that can occur in the game, hence speeding up the match overall.

OBS

James H. Van Alen developed two systems to speed up play, one for tennis, often called the "no-ad game", amd a similar one for table tennis, each of which are referred to as a "Van Alen Simplified Scoring System (VASS)".
