Live scores from the stands

One parent keeps score. Everyone watches live.

Tap your phone each time someone scores. 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, football, soccer, basketball, baseball, softball, lacrosse and hockey. 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 and colors, then best of 3 or 5, or how many quarters. 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 for each point, or for each touchdown and field goal. Family sees it in a second or two. The app asks before it ends a set, and checks with you at the end of each quarter.

Made for the bleachers

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

  • One tap per score

    In volleyball each team gets half the screen. In football, tap Touchdown or Field goal for the team with the ball. The screen stays on while you score.

  • Nothing ends by accident

    At 25 with a 2-point lead, the app asks before it closes a set or the match. In football, the end of each quarter and the game waits for you, with Not yet to take it back.

  • Undo, −1, switch sides

    Undo takes back the last score in any sport. In volleyball, take a point off either team or swap sides on screen to match the court.

  • Who's serving, who has the ball

    Volleyball shows who's serving, set point and match point on their own. Football shows who has the ball and asks for the extra point after a touchdown.

  • Add it to your Home Screen

    It opens like an app, even with no signal at the gym or the field, 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 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 taps 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 scoreboard into Catch up, set by set or quarter by quarter, and keep scoring from there. Don't know a volleyball set's score? Just tap who won it.

  • Start in set 4, at 3–6 in set 1, or in the third quarter. Any of them works.
  • 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 or by quarter

Confirm the last set or finish the game, and the live page turns into the final result. Send the one-line recap from your phone to anyone who missed it. Got a football score wrong? Edit the final and the live page shows the correction.

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

Final: Home Team 24, Away Team 17

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

Football

Scoring follows the ball

Tap the team that gets the ball, then Touchdown or Field goal. The app asks for the extra point, and family sees the score by quarter and the latest scoring plays.

  • A safety or a defensive touchdown counts for the team without the ball.
  • The live page says “End of Q1” or “Halftime” during a break, so a pause doesn't look like lost signal.

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 or quarter so far, and who's serving or has the ball.
  • In football, the latest scoring plays as they happen.

Private by default

These are kids' games. The live page is for the people you send it to. No accounts, no ads, and our analytics never sees a match link or a name.

  • 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

    A match nobody scores is deleted after 48 hours. Once scoring starts, it's deleted 30 days after the scorer last changes it, and the scorer can delete it any time. Watching it doesn't keep it up.

  • Viewers only watch

    Only the scorer can change the score.
