Scoreboard

Sports scoreboard, controlled from a phone

Tennis, volleyball, football, basketball, badminton and about twenty other sports, plus a simple score or a team quiz. The score updates in one tap from the remote, and every screen showing the same match stays in sync instantly.

One engine, real rules per sport

A scoreboard that's just a manual counter forces the operator to keep the rules in their head — sets, deuce in tennis, the deciding set in volleyball. Here, the widget applies them itself: the sport you choose determines how the match actually unfolds, not just the visual skin.

In tennis and padel, points follow the official numbering (0, 15, 30, 40), with deuce and advantage beyond that, a game won by a two-point margin, a tie-break triggered at 6 games all, and the set awarded at the right moment. In volleyball, badminton, table tennis and squash, each sport has its own thresholds — 25 points in volleyball, 21 in badminton, 11 in table tennis — with the winning margin and deciding set played to a reduced score, just as the real rules require.

For football, handball, basketball, rugby, hockey or water polo, the score deliberately stays a simple counter — these sports are played against the clock, not to a fixed number of points — but a match clock, stoppage time, cards and team fouls are added on top. For everything else, a simple score (team or individual) or a multi-team quiz cover the needs that don't fit any specific box.

The score is driven from the remote, one button per action

The scoreboard is operated through the remote-control widget, on a phone or tablet: each button corresponds to a precise action, "Team A +1" or "yellow card, Team B", not a menu to navigate while play continues. The person following the match — a referee, a volunteer, an announcer — has nothing else to do but tap.

A correction is as simple as scoring a point: a "−1" button per team fixes a data-entry mistake without starting over. A dedicated button starts a new match by resetting the score, clock and cards in one go, handy between two fixtures on the same screen.

For timed sports, the remote also drives the clock: start and pause it, add or remove a minute of stoppage time at the end of a half, or move on to a new period without touching the score already earned.

Several screens, one match

A gym or sports club often has more than one screen facing the same court — a scoreboard on the stand side, another near the refreshment area. Every score update reaches all the screens showing that match in near real time, through the same permanent-connection mechanism used by the room calendar widget: no refresh to wait for, no screen left lagging behind the others.

The scoreboard remains a widget like any other in the platform: it sits on a screen the same way a weather or calendar widget does, with a customisable background and free-text field (the competition's name, for instance), and it keeps showing the last known score if the network happens to drop.

Questions fréquentes

Does the scoreboard apply the real rules of tennis, volleyball or badminton?

Yes. Tennis and padel follow point-based numbering (0/15/30/40), with deuce, advantage and a tie-break at 6 games all. Volleyball, badminton, table tennis and squash follow their own point thresholds, with the winning margin and deciding set played to a reduced score, just as the real rules require.

Can you track the clock, cards and fouls?

For timed sports — football, handball, basketball, rugby, hockey, water polo — yes: a startable and pausable match clock, adjustable stoppage time, cards and team fouls. These elements never affect the score: they're simple informational counters, left to the referee's judgement.

How is the score adjusted during the match?

From the remote-control widget, on a phone or tablet: each button corresponds to a precise action (a point for a team, a card, a minute of stoppage time). A correction action (−1) and a reset button for a new match are also available.

Does the score change at the same time across several screens?

Yes, near-instantly: screens showing the same scoreboard stay in sync over a permanent connection, the same mechanism used by the room calendar widget. No manual refresh to wait for.

Does the scoreboard also work for a quiz or a simple score?

Yes. A "simple score" mode (team or individual) and a multi-team "quiz" mode cover uses that don't match any specific sport, with the same one-tap remote actions.

How much does the scoreboard widget cost?

It has no separate price: it's a platform widget, available on any screen just like weather or a calendar. It's included in the Free plan as well as the paid licences, at no extra cost — see the Pricing page.
