Add more possibilities on game score formats

[Lysuo]

Hi @pedrorijo91

First of all thanks for the great work, the app works really well!
After a few weeks of testing it I wanted to suggest some changes, based on my use

On the game score format:

• in some tournaments (FR, amateur level) we may have games with sets of 9 games, the winner is the first to reach 9 (with tie break in case of 8/8)
• in some other tournaments, we may have 3 sets, but in case it reaches the 3rd it is in fact a super tie-break in 10 points

I found a link that resumes all possible formats : https://padel-magazine.co.uk/le-score-au-padel-mode-demploi/

Do you think that during the setting screens when starting the activity it could be possible to add options to cover all this ? number of games in the set, and whether the decisive set is a regular one or a tie break with x points ?
Or maybe in case of decisive set it could be simpler to add a screen to pick the right option at 1-1 or 2-2 (super tie-break, regular set, ..) ?

Thanks

Seems related to existing #27 and #77

hey @Lysuo :)

indeed, the first bullet is already covered in #77 . I'm trying to find some time to refactor the code to make it easier to add new game formats. if you look at the code you can see that currently it's a bunch of if statements, which makes it a bit messy and hard to change without adding bugs 😄 this is the pre-work needed to properly support #27

regarding the second bullet, it is already supported if I understood correctly. it is also the game mode used in official tournaments (managed by Portuguese federation): 3 sets, the last one in super tie if it reaches 1-1. You just need to select 3 sets, and then super tie, in the config options

Indeed you're right for the 2nd bullet point. I usually go for unlimited sets so I had forgotten the option was here when selecting 3 and 5 sets.

I guess this ticket could be closed as duplicate then ?
So far I've never played with the C1, C2 or E formats as described in the link I posted, so I guess it's not a priority to add support for this.

will revisit the game formats described when implementing #27 . thanks for the contributions! 🙏
