Set up for FIBA-style basketball: four 10-minute quarters, a 24-second shot clock that resets to 14, +1, +2 and +3 buttons and team fouls per quarter. For NBA timing, change the period length to 12 minutes in settings; the buzzer sounds when a clock hits zero.
How to use
- Tap the settings button and pick Simple, Basketball, Volleyball, Table tennis, Badminton, Darts 501 or Cards. Set the number of teams and their names.
- Tap a team's big number to add a point. Use − to take one back and the extra buttons for +2, +3 or your own steps.
- Tap the game clock to start or stop it. Tap the shot clock to reset it to 24, or the small button for 14.
- For the chess clock, choose a time control, then tap your side after each move to start your opponent's clock.
- Scores, settings and the history are saved in this browser and stay on your device. Each sport keeps its own game, so switching between them loses nothing.
- Right-click or long-press a score to take a point away. Every change is listed in the history, and Undo steps back through it.
- Volleyball, table tennis and badminton count sets or games for you: win by two, the shorter deciding set in volleyball, the badminton cap at 30 and who serves next.
- Darts: type the total of each turn and press Enter. A turn that would leave less than zero, or 1 with double out, is a bust. Finishes are suggested from 170 down.
- Chess clock: Fischer adds the increment after each move. Bronstein gives back the time you used, up to the increment. Simple delay waits that many seconds before your time starts to run.
- The screen stays on while a clock runs and in full screen, if your browser allows it.
Rules built in
Each sport preset knows its scoring. Volleyball sets go to 25 (the fifth to 15) with a two-point lead; table tennis games go to 11 and the serve changes every two points, then every point from 10–10; badminton games go to 21 with a cap at 30. When a set or game is won, the board moves on and counts it.
Darts subtracts each turn from 501 (or 301 or 701), applies the double-out and bust rules, suggests checkouts from 170 down and keeps the 3-dart average.
Clocks and buzzer
The game clock counts down or up with any period length, and the basketball shot clock has 24- and 14-second resets. A buzzer sounds when a clock reaches zero. While a clock runs or the board is full screen, the screen is kept awake on browsers that support it.
Mistakes and history
Right-click or long-press a score to take a point off, or use Undo, which steps back through a full history of every change. Each sport keeps its own game, so switching from darts to cards loses nothing. Copy results puts the final score on your clipboard.
