Online scoreboard

Two scores, a period, a game clock that counts down or up, an optional shot clock and a horn — big enough to read from the back of the room.

Running a game

  • Press Start or the space bar. When the clock reaches the period length, it stops and the horn sounds. + and − next to Period move to the next period.
  • Tap +1, +2, +3 or −1 to change a score. On a keyboard, use Q W E and A for the home team and I O P and K for the away team.

  • Press F for full screen and put it on a TV, a projector or a second monitor.

What it's good for

Basketball and netball scorekeeping, school sports days, classroom quiz games, board-game nights, tournaments and streams. Because it's a web page, it works on any device with a browser and a screen big enough to be seen; for a gym, mirror a laptop to a TV or open the page on the TV itself.

Shot-clock lengths and reset rules vary by league and level, so set the length that your competition uses. The clock and scores are saved on this device, so a refresh won't lose the game. If you need a clock that sits inside another page, embed the scoreboard.

Questions

How do I use the online scoreboard?

Set the team names and period length, press Start, and use the +1, +2 and +3 buttons to change scores. The clock stops and a horn sounds at the end of the period.

Can the game clock count up?

Yes. Choose Counts up under Game clock and it runs from zero to the period length, which is how soccer-style clocks work.

Does it have a shot clock?

Yes — pick a length such as 24 seconds under Shot clock. It starts and stops with the game clock, and you can reset it to 24 or 14 seconds.

Will it keep the score if I refresh the page?

Yes. Names, scores, period and settings are saved in your browser on this device.

Can I show it on a TV?

Press F for full screen and open the page on the TV's browser, or cast your browser tab to it.
