Live scores from the stands

One parent keeps score. Everyone watches live.

Tap your phone once per point. Grandparents, the other parents and anyone who couldn't make it follow the match from one link. Nothing for them to install, and no more texting the score.

Volleyball for now. No account needed. Set up a match in about 30 seconds.

How it works

Three steps, and you only share once.

  1. Setting up the match: team names Home Team and Away Team, team colours, best of 5

    Set up the match

    Team names, team colors, best of 3 or 5. About 30 seconds.

  2. Sharing the link: the live page link, the message ready to send, and Text the link

    Share the link once

    Your phone's share sheet opens with the message ready. Send it to the family group text, or show the QR code to parents nearby.

  3. The app asks before a set ends: Set to Home Team, 25–22, with a Start set 4 button

    Tap to score

    Tap a team's half for each point. Family sees it in a second or two. The app asks before it ends a set.

Made for the bleachers

Big targets, no fiddling. You watch the game, not your phone.

  • One tap per point

    Each team gets half the screen. Tap anywhere on it. The screen stays on while you score.

  • Sets end when you say so

    At 25 with a 2-point lead, the app asks before it closes the set or the match. A stray tap can't end one.

  • Undo, −1, switch sides

    Take back the last point, take one off either team, or swap sides on screen to match the court.

  • Serve and set point, shown

    Serving follows whoever won the last point. Set point and match point appear on their own.

  • Add it to your Home Screen

    It opens like an app, even with no signal in the gym, and your matches are right where you left them.

  • No account to start

    Open the site, set up the match and score. Your matches are saved on your phone.

Bad gym signal

Keep scoring when the signal drops

Every tap is saved on your phone first. Lose signal and keep going. The points send themselves when you're back.

  • You see how many points are waiting: “Offline · 3 to send”.
  • Family sees “Delayed” and “The scorer may have lost signal in the gym”, not a frozen score that still says Live.
The scorer's screen with no signal: Offline · 3 to send, scoring carries on The live page marked Delayed: no update in 4 minutes, the scorer may have lost signal in the gym

Joined late

Missed a few points? Catch up.

Copy the gym scoreboard into Catch up, set by set, and keep scoring from there. Don't know a set's score? Just tap who won it.

  • Start in set 4 or at 3–6 in set 1. It works either way.
  • The live page says “Score corrected at 7:31 PM”, so a jump in the score doesn't look like a glitch.
Catch up: the score set by set, a pick for the set to resume in, and who won a set with no score The live page after a catch up: Score corrected at 7:31 PM

After the match

A final score page, set by set

Confirm the last set and the live page turns into the final result. Send the one-line recap from your phone to anyone who missed it.

Final: Home Team def. Away Team 3–1 (25–21, 23–25, 25–22, 25–19)

Match over: Home Team wins 3–1, the sets, and the one-line recap to text The live page as the final result: Home Team wins 3–1, match ended at 8:14 PM

For family and friends

Nothing to install. Just open the link.

  • Opens in the phone's browser. No app, no sign-in.
  • The score updates on its own. No refreshing.
  • “Updated 6 seconds ago” tells them it's really live.
  • Every set so far, and who's serving.

  • Unlisted links

    Each match gets a random link. It isn't listed anywhere and is hidden from search engines.

  • We never text anyone

    The link goes out from your own phone, to the people you pick.

  • Pages don't stay up forever

    Each match is deleted 30 days after the scorer last changes it. Watching it doesn't keep it up.

  • Viewers only watch

    Only the scorer can change the score.
