Score a badminton match the way the rules say it should be scored. Smash keeps the score for singles and doubles by official BWF rally-point rules — deuce, serve rotation, who serves from which court, the change of ends in the deciding game — so nobody has to hold it in their head mid-rally. Tap the side that won the point. Undo the one you got wrong. Or turn voice mode on and call the score out loud without touching the phone. SCORING THAT KNOWS THE RULES • Singles and doubles, best-of-three or a single game, custom point targets • Serve and court tracked for you, including doubles serve rotation • Deuce, game point, match point and the change of ends at 11 • Yellow, red and black cards; retirement, walkover, disqualification • Undo and redo, so a miscount three points ago is a two-tap fix • Hands-free voice scoring from the umpire's chair PLAYERS, RATINGS AND HISTORY • Save the people you play with and pick them again in one tap • Ratings update after every match and weigh the margin of victory, so the club ladder stays honest • See each side's chance of winning before the first serve • Favourite the players you follow most • Head-to-head records: who beats who, and by how much • Full match history, point by point, for every game you have scored • Badges for streaks, comebacks, deuce nerves and milestones TOURNAMENTS • Knockout, round robin and Swiss draws, for singles or doubles • Seeded draws or a draw by lot, and BWF standings with head-to-head tie-breaks • Up to 32 courts running at once • Assign scorers who score their matches from their own phones • Winners advance through the bracket automatically as results land • One live link everyone can follow, instead of a crowd around the sheet SHARE THE MATCH • A public live link that updates point by point while you score • Attach a YouTube, Twitch or Facebook stream to a match, or one venue stream to a whole tournament • Share cards for a result, a badge or a player's record CLUBS • Build a roster from your members' Smash accounts • Join requests, approvals, and a club page showing every member's rating PLAY WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT Guest mode scores matches, saves players and runs tournaments entirely on your own phone — no sign-up, no internet needed.
