The code expires
A photograph of the screen stops working within about two minutes. If a match matters, lock the board with one tap, or set a PIN.
A scoreboard for
club sport.
Put a screen behind the court. Scan the code on it with any phone. That phone is now the scoreboard.
No app to install. No account. Nothing to pay. A board you start now deletes itself in three days.
The screen shows the score. The phone changes it.
How it goes
- Open a board on a screen behind the court — a smart TV, a laptop, a stick on an old monitor — and press full screen.
- Scan the code with a phone. No install, no sign-in.
- Score. Big buttons, one thumb, without looking down.
- Hand it over. The next person scans the code and takes the board — or scans within a minute and you both keep it.
It tells you when it does not know
A board that has lost contact says so rather than showing a confident number nobody is updating.
Undo, not confirm
Nothing asks “are you sure” — there is no moment in a rally to read a dialog. Mistakes are simply reversible, even by the next person to hold the phone.
Nothing kept that need not be
No cookies, no analytics, no accounts for scoring. A casual board and everything on it is deleted after three days.
For a club
An account is optional and only worth it if you run a hall: named courts that keep their settings, your colours on every board, all courts on one screen for the canteen, and results you can export.
