Creating a match is the first step to getting players on court. This guide walks you through scheduling a new match, choosing the format, adding participants, and assigning a court and time so the match appears on every relevant calendar and dashboard.

Prerequisites

Before you create a match, make sure you have at least two players or teams added to your club or tournament. You can add players from the Players & Teams section if your roster is still empty.

Create a match

1

Open the Matches tab

Log in to Match Point and select your club or tournament. Click Matches in the main navigation to open the match list.
2

Click New Match

Click the New Match button in the top-right corner of the match list. This opens the match creation form.
3

Select the match format

Choose the format that fits your competition:
  • Singles: one player versus one player
  • Doubles: two-player pairs competing together
  • Team match: multiple rubbers grouped under one team result The format controls how many sides you add and how scoring will work.
4

Add players or teams

Use the player pickers to assign participants to each side. For singles, select one player per side. For doubles, select two players per side. For team matches, select the two competing teams; their registered players will populate automatically.
5

Set the date, time, and court

Pick the scheduled start date and time. Then choose the court or venue from the dropdown. Only courts marked as available for that time slot will appear. If you need a court that is not listed, check the court schedule to resolve the conflict first.
6

Save the match

Review the details and click Save. The match is created in the Scheduled state and immediately appears on the club calendar, the player dashboards, and the court schedule.

Result

After saving, you see the match detail page. The match status shows as Scheduled, and all participants receive a notification with the date, time, and court. You can return to this page at any time to edit details or start scoring.
