What the scoreboard actually does
Clock, fouls, colors, and the screen it ends up on — the parts that matter once a game is underway.
Game clock and periods
A count-up or countdown clock with periods, halves, quarters, or innings. Start it, stop it, and correct it mid-game without touching the score.
Possession, fouls and timeouts
The details that decide close games: which side has the ball, team fouls and the bonus, and timeouts remaining — all on the same display.
Phone-based operator controls
Run the whole board from a phone at the scorer's table: big tap targets, undo for a miskeyed point, and a horn. No laptop needed courtside.
Team colors and logos
Put each side in its own colors and upload club or school logos, so the board looks like your competition instead of a generic template.
Full-screen venue display
Double-click into full screen for a high-contrast layout that reads from the back row of a gym, and scale the type up for a bigger room.
Streaming and OBS support
Add the scoreboard as an OBS Browser Source and it updates itself on stream — no scene switching, no re-capturing a window. A transparent overlay link keys the scorebug straight over your video.
Live Sports Scoreboard with Game Clock
Run a full basketball or sports scoreboard with two team scores, fouls, timeouts, and period, plus a running game clock you control from your phone. Tap to score, start or stop the clock, and the big-screen display updates the instant you do.

Head-to-Head Score Tracking

More Than Two Teams? Use a Scoresheet
Bowling nights, trivia and backyard tournaments often have more than two sides. A scoresheet keeps every team's score round by round with automatic totals, on the same kind of live link and TV display.

Get startedFrequently Asked Questions
An online scoreboard is a scoreboard that runs in a web browser instead of on dedicated hardware. You keep score from a phone or laptop, and the display is a link: open it on a TV, projector or laptop at the venue, or send it to people following from home. Every screen showing the link updates the moment the score changes.
