Online Scoreboard

A big, simple scoreboard for 2 to 6 teams: tap to add points, choose names and colours, undo mistakes, and go full screen on a TV or tablet with the screen kept awake.

Online Scoreboard: Each team's score is shown in large figures in its colour. Points can go up in ones, in 1, 2, and 3 for basketball, or in other steps, and every change can be undone. In full screen the page asks the device to keep the screen on, so a tablet propped up beside the court does not dim mid-game. The scores are kept in this browser, so a refresh does not lose them. Runs 100% locally in your browser with zero server file uploads.

Runs entirely in your browser

Tap a score to add a point. Keys: 1, 2, 3… add to that team, with Shift to take away; Ctrl+Z undoes. In full screen the screen stays awake.

Showing it on a big screen

Open the scoreboard on a laptop connected to a TV or projector, or cast the browser tab, and use full screen. A tablet on a stand works well for table tennis or a quiz, and a cheap wireless keyboard lets a scorer update it from the side.

For a whole competition, draw the matches with the tournament bracket or a round robin, and time periods with the stopwatch.

Keeping it fair

Agree on one scorer and announce each point as it is added; Undo puts right any mistake. For games with sets, such as volleyball or tennis, keep the set count in the team name, such as “Blue (1)”.

How to use it

  1. Name the teams and pick their colours.
  2. Tap a score, or press 1, 2, 3 on a keyboard, to add points; use the minus buttons or Undo to correct.
  3. Press Full screen to show it on a TV, projector, or tablet.

Frequently asked questions

Can I control it from a keyboard?

Yes: press 1 to add a point to the first team, 2 for the second, and so on, Shift with the number to take a point away, and Ctrl+Z or ⌘Z to undo. A wireless keyboard or presenter remote works from across the room.

Will the screen go dark during a game?

In full screen the page asks the browser to keep the screen awake, which works in current versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox. If a device does not support it, set its sleep timer to a longer time.

Can I keep score for more than two teams?

Yes, up to six, for quizzes, card games, or a sports day. Each team gets its own colour.
