Focus on the rally, not the arithmetic. The console knows who serves, from where and what the call is, and your result reaches the desk the moment you confirm it.

How do referees score matches on SkorX?
Referees and scorers at SkorX tournaments use the SkorX referee portal on their phones. It shows only the matches assigned to them. For each rally they tap which side won, and the console applies the rules: it updates the score, serving team, server number and player positions. When the match ends they confirm the result, which updates the bracket, standings and live scores.
