What is a super match?
A super match is a single challenge between two named arm wrestlers, rather than a bracket of many. It is usually the headline bout, a grudge match or a title challenge, run over several legs so that one lucky pull does not decide it. The winner is the first puller to win a majority of the legs.
Best of 3, 5 or 7
Best of 3 needs two leg wins, best of 5 needs three, and best of 7 needs four. The match stops as soon as someone gets there, so a best of 5 that goes 3 to 0 is over after three legs and the last two are never pulled. This scorer marks those legs as not needed.
| Format | Legs to win | Most legs pulled |
|---|---|---|
| Best of 3 | 2 | 3 |
| Best of 5 | 3 | 5 |
| Best of 7 | 4 | 7 |
Using the scorer
Put the two pullers first in the list and choose Super match. The next leg glows red with an "Up next" tag. Click the winner of the leg and the score updates and the glow moves on. If you click the wrong name, press Undo, or click the leg again. Correcting an earlier leg keeps the later ones when they still make sense.
Arm wrestling is pulled with each hand, so you can score the right hand, the left hand, or both, each with its own result. Everything is saved in the link, so you can send it to a referee or reopen it later.
Rest between legs
Pullers need a rest between legs, and a super match is usually watched, so most organisers give a short break after every leg. Agree the length before the match starts, announce it, and keep it the same for both pullers.
More than two pullers?
For a field of pullers, use the arm wrestling bracket generator, which builds a seeded double or single elimination bracket. Many events run the bracket during the day and close with a super match.
Questions
Is the super match scorer free?
Yes. It is free, needs no account, and nothing you type is sent to a server. The match is saved in the link, so copying the address saves it.
