Abstract: A system of 8 loops (300) of elastic material and a method for keeping score or determining the winner of a tie-break during a tennis game using the 8 loops is disclosed. Of the 8 loops, 4 are to be affixed to a left shaft and 4 are to be affixed to a right shaft of an assembly with at least two shafts. The loops (300) of elastic material are affixed under light tension so that they can be moved easily by the player or spectator and then stay in place once positioned. The loops (300) are marked contrastingly so that they can be easily distinguished for keeping score as necessary. Each point is marked by positioning one of the eight loops in an upwards or downwards direction, an improvement over prior-art which called for a single marker being placed over a specific figure. Several embodiments of the present invention are described.
