Simple Setup

How It Works

1

Assign Scorekeepers

Invite team managers, referees, or dedicated scorekeepers to the platform. Each person gets a simple mobile interface that is pre-loaded with today's games. No app download is needed; everything runs in the browser.

2

Score the Game

Tap to add goals, runs, points, or any event your sport tracks. The interface is designed for one-handed use so the scorekeeper can keep their eyes on the field. Period and half-time breaks are handled with a single tap.

3

Fans Follow Along

Parents and fans see a live-updating score page for every game in progress. Push notifications go out for key events like goals or lead changes. The experience feels like following a pro game without any extra hardware.

Capabilities

What You Can Do

Mobile-First Scoring

The scoring interface is built for phones first. Large tap targets, offline resilience, and automatic syncing mean scores get recorded even on a spotty cell connection at the field.

Instant Standings Updates

Final scores flow directly into the standings engine. The moment a game ends, the league table reflects the result. No admin intervention needed to keep standings current.

Push Notifications

Fans and parents who follow a team receive push notifications for game start, halftime, final score, and custom events you define. Keep your community engaged even when they cannot be at the field.

Play-by-Play Log

Every event is time-stamped and attributed to a player, creating an automatic play-by-play record. After the game, coaches and players can review the full event timeline.

Box Score Generation

The system compiles individual and team stats into a formatted box score as the game progresses. Share the final box score on your website or export it for local media coverage.

Score Verification

Require both teams or the referee to confirm the final score before it locks into standings. Disputed results are flagged for admin review, keeping your data trustworthy.

Built For

Who Uses This Feature

Scorekeepers and Volunteers

You do not need to be tech-savvy. The interface is simpler than a scorebook. Open the link, tap the buttons, and the system handles the rest. Training takes less than two minutes.

Fans and Parents

Follow your child's game from work, the car, or the sideline of their sibling's game. Live scores and notifications mean you are always in the loop, even when you cannot be at the field.

League Administrators

Eliminate the Monday morning data-entry marathon. Scores are already in the system by the time the last game ends, and standings are published before you leave the facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the scorekeeper need to download an app?

No. The scoring interface is a mobile web app that works in any modern browser. Scorekeepers receive a link, tap it, and start scoring. There is nothing to install or update.

What happens if the scorekeeper loses cell signal?

Events are cached locally on the device and uploaded automatically when connectivity returns. The scorekeeper can continue recording the entire game offline without losing a single event.

Can both teams score the same game?

Yes. You can allow one or both team managers to enter scores. When both sides submit, the system compares results and flags discrepancies for admin resolution.

Which sports are supported?

The scoring interface is configurable for any sport. We provide presets for soccer, basketball, hockey, and volleyball, with an option to create custom sport types in minutes.

Can fans see live scores without creating an account?

Live score pages are public by default. Anyone with the link or who visits your league website can see games in progress. No account or login is required to follow along.
