What Is an Online Scoreboard?
An online scoreboard replaces whiteboards, paper score sheets, and clunky spreadsheets with a live digital display that updates in real time. Update a score from your phone and every viewer, whether they're in the room or watching remotely, sees the change instantly.
MakeTheBoard's free scoreboard maker lets you create a scoreboard in seconds, share it with a link, and display it on a TV, projector, or any screen. Works for sports, game nights, classroom quizzes, esports, and any competition where you need to keep score.
