This invention relates to a novel tennis scoring system ("The NOSAVA Tennis Scoring System"). The present invention provides a method by which a permanent record may be maintained of the points scored in a tennis match by each player, the means by which such score was made and the results of each game, set and match. This information provides a detailed permanent record of the match for the benefit of the tennis player, coach or parent. The scoring system consists of a matrix of boxes in rows on each page. Each box, bisected by a diagonal line, represents a point scored for either player or team. Each row of boxes represents a game. Each page represents a set. A scoring key appears at the top of the page with various codes indicating the manner by which the point was scored. A point won by a player or team is marked by writing the appropriate code letter in the upper left triangle of the box in the game line, while each point won by the opposing player or team is marked by writing the appropriate code letter in the lower right triangle of the box. After a game is completed, the appropriate upper left or lower right triangle of the last box in the row is shaded to indicate the winner of the game. This system serves to provide the correct game score throughout the set and match. Multiple pages of the scoring system may be inserted in a booklet and bound to provide an ongoing permanent record of the player's competitive tennis experience.
