When the player with more points loses the match

In a best-of-three example, one player loses 19-21, wins 21-10 and loses 19-21. They score 59 points to their opponent's 52 but lose the match one game to two. The match winner comes from games won.

Questions people ask

How do I count a total for one game?

Add both sides' points in that game. The 21-10 second game contains 31 points. A total for the whole match also counts the first and third games.

Whose points count in doubles?

Each pair has one score. A game-winner selection names the pair, and a game-points total counts rallies won by both pairs.
