What is Scorecard?

Scorecard tracks scores for any game, sport, or competition. Add players, tap to add or subtract points, and see who's winning. No paper needed, no sign-ups required.

Pick a game type (darts, soccer, card game, board game, video game, or generic) so the icon reflects what you're playing, then add each player by name. Set a point step (1, 2, 5, 10, or any number you type) so each plus or minus button matches your game — basketball threes, darts checkouts, anything. Optionally set a winning score and the page announces the first player to reach it. When you want others to follow along, Share builds a link (and a QR code) that opens the live board on any device; Copy and Download PNG handle the quick text or image grab.

How to use

1. Tap 'Add Player' and enter each participant's name to set up the scoreboard.
2. Use the plus and minus buttons next to each player to adjust their score as the game progresses.
3. Reset individual scores or clear the entire board when you start a new round.

When to use

• Trivia night with a group of friends when nobody wants to scribble on a napkin.
• Backyard cornhole or darts tournament running multiple rounds in an afternoon.
• Family game night with kids who need help keeping running totals straight.

Result

You're hosting a trivia night with 6 friends. Add each person's name, then tap '+1' whenever someone answers correctly. At the end, the scoreboard shows Sarah leading with 12 points.

FAQ

Can scores go negative for games that penalise wrong answers?

Yes. The minus button decreases a player's total by one each press, and it will keep going below zero. Useful for trivia formats that deduct points or for golf-style scoring where lower is better.

Will my scores survive a page refresh?

Not on its own — the board lives in this session, so a plain refresh clears it. But you now have three ways to keep it: Copy puts the standings on your clipboard, Download PNG saves a snapshot image, and Share builds a link that carries the full board (players and scores) — bookmark that link and you can reopen the exact standings any time.

Is there a limit to how many players I can add?

No hard cap. The layout works comfortably for up to about a dozen players; beyond that the list scrolls but stays usable. Each new player starts at zero so you can add latecomers mid-game.

What does the round counter actually do?

It increments a label at the top so you can announce "Round 4" without losing track. It doesn't reset scores or split history — totals stay cumulative across all rounds unless you reset manually.

Does the game type setting change the rules or just the icon?

It changes the icon and visual theme, and unlocks an Apply preset button that pre-fills sensible defaults for that game — point step and target score. Darts jumps to +3 steps with a 301 target; ball sports to a 21 target; cards to 100. You can override any value after applying.
