Custom scorecards enable you to run your team event with any type of format that fits within the parameters of the USTA Regulations. If you are using a custom scorecard, you must pick one of the templates, and then can modify it from there.
After you have created the draw : Creating Team Tournament Draws
Step 1: From Draw tab in Tournament Desk, click “Edit scorecard template” in blue.

Step 3: Click “Add match collection” to add additional match collections.
- Enter match collection details and click Add Match Collection.
- Collection name - this name will appear as the title for this group of matches within the scorecard both in the backend and on the public view.
- Number of matches - the total lines of singles for that particular collection. If the team is composed of 6 girls 14s players, put 6. This is NOT the number of total matches each player will play in the tournament, just the number of matches against each team.
- Match type - singles or doubles (if it is mixed doubles, enter doubles)
- Score format-Select from the list of approved score formats ( Please note , this score format will be applied to all matches within this match collection ) .
- Points awarding type - here you can select how to calculate the collection value, i.e. match won, game, set, or allocate one point for more than one match won.
