Scoring formats
Results that fit the game you played.
log8 does not force every game into a score. Each of the 72 games uses the result format it is actually played with, from sets and frames to knockouts, lap times and finishing order.
How it works
Nine ways a result can look
- Sets, games, frames and boardsBadminton, tennis, padel, table tennis, squash, snooker, darts, carrom and volleyball. Winner only, or every set's score.
- A score, if you want oneFootball, FIFA, basketball, hockey, kabaddi and most team sports: winner or draw, score optional.
- RunsCricket: winner or draw, each side's runs optional, uneven sides allowed.
- Placings and marksRaces, golf, bowling, archery, card and board games: the full finishing order, with times, strokes, kilos or distance where the game has them.
- How the bout endedBoxing, MMA, wrestling, judo, karate, taekwondo, kickboxing and fencing: KO, TKO, submission, pin, points or decision, and the round.
- Winner or drawChess, checkers and quick games like rock paper scissors and tic tac toe.
