description Racketlon Overview

Racketlon is a combined multisport competition where players compete against each other across four distinct racquet sports: table tennis, badminton, squash, and tennis. The matches are typically structured sequentially, from the smallest court to the largest, with players accumulating points across all four disciplines to determine a final winner. Governed by the Federation of International Racketlon, the sport requires proficiency in diverse techniques and equipment. It appeals to club-level players and professionals who possess versatile racquet skills.

How is Racketlon scored?

Each sport is normally one set to 21 points with running score, and a two-point margin is needed at 20-20. The winner is the player with the highest total across all four sets, not automatically the person who wins the most sets.

Can someone win Racketlon after losing three of the four sets?

Yes, a player can lose three sets and still win the match if the point totals add up in their favor. That scoring rule rewards keeping every rally close, even during a set that is already likely to be lost.

What happens if the total Racketlon score is tied?

If the total score is tied after the four sports, the rules use a single deciding point in tennis, often called the rubber arm point. That creates a final winner without adding another full set.
