No more juggling a stopwatch app and a whiteboard. Both teams' scores and the time live side by side and update together on every device.

How long is a period in each sport?
A scoreboard timer is the game clock half of a scoreboard: the countdown or count-up that tells everyone how long is left in the current period. Set it to your sport's period length, run it from your phone, and show the same link on any screen.
Most sports count the clock down to zero. Soccer is the notable exception and counts up, with time added at the end of each half. Set the direction and the period length before the first whistle and the board handles the rest.
Standard period length by sport
| Sport | Periods | Length | Clock |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basketball (NBA) | 4 quarters | 12 min | Counts down |
| Basketball (high school) | 4 quarters | 8 min | Counts down |
| Football (NFL / NCAA) | 4 quarters | 15 min | Counts down |
| Ice hockey | 3 periods | 20 min | Counts down |
| Soccer | 2 halves | 45 min | Counts up, plus stoppage |
| Futsal | 2 halves | 20 min | Counts down, stops |
| Rugby union | 2 halves | 40 min | Counts up |
| Netball | 4 quarters | 15 min | Counts down |
Youth and recreational leagues almost always play shorter periods, so set the clock to your own league rules rather than the professional standard.
