Custom-rules guide

Give house rules a score flow your group can run again next week.

The most competitive game in a group is often the one nobody outside the group understands. The score flow should match the rules you actually use instead of making the group fit a generic template.

The setup

Three moves to keep the matchup clear.

  1. 01

    Agree the rules before the first point

    Settle what counts, who is playing, and what ends the matchup before the group starts a score debate.

  2. 02

    Start from New Custom

    Use the custom starting point in the VS US Library when the group is playing something that does not fit a standard label.

  3. 03

    Keep the rematch possible

    Use the same game flow to keep score, preserve the result, and bring the score into the room when the group needs a shared view.

VS US proof

The weird rules are not the exception. They are the reason for custom scoring.

VS US starts Custom from the Library so a group can begin with its own matchup rather than trying to force it into somebody else's template.
