difference between match game and set
A match is the whole game put together, the set is usually 3 small games played, and it is played the best 2 out of 3, whoever has the best 2 out of 3 wins the match (the entire game) I hope this makes sense! lol. :] Source(s): me.
The match consists of 2 out of 3 sets or games OR 3 out of 5 sets or games. If the match goes to the deciding set or game, it is played to 15 points for all rules groups. I know it is confusing. You play games in the fall with your school team and then play sets with your club team in the spring. They are the same thing, just different rules call them different things.
