Leg vs. Set Play
KEY CONCEPTS :
Leg Play
Matches decided by a set number of legs (e.g., first to 6 legs).
Each leg is a single game of 501 (or starting format).
Consistent scoring is key; momentum is continuous.
Set Play
Matches divided into sets, each consisting of a number of legs (e.g., first to 3 legs per set).
First player to win the required number of sets wins the match.
DETAILS :
Key Differences
Leg play is a sprint: one continuous race to a target number of legs.
Set play allows for comebacks: each set is a mini-match.
Set play adds a psychological element—players can reset mentally between sets.
