Live standings, worth the warm-up.
Real-time leaderboards for sports tournaments, recreational leagues, race events and gym challenges. League tables that update the moment a match ends. Race boards that rank by lap time. One link for the venue scoreboard, the team chat, and every supporter's phone.
A clipboard isn't a scoreboard.
The league table on the WhatsApp group, the bracket scrawled on a flipchart, the race times shouted across the finish line — they all work, sort of. A live leaderboard works better. Everyone sees the same thing, the moment it changes.
Fair competition, visible to all
Every score change is on the public board. No disputes about whose game went where, no late updates that nobody trusts.
Spectators in the loop
Friends, family and supporters check the board from the stands or from home. The atmosphere lifts when the crowd actually knows the score.
One source of truth
No more chasing the captain who's forgotten to update the spreadsheet. The board is the league — and every team knows it.
Run a tournament without a spreadsheet, ever.
5-a-side cup, dodgeball weekender, futsal showcase, CrossFit open. Live standings update as each match ends. Display the board on the venue screen so every team sees their position between games — and chases the bracket.

Common questions.
Can I run a recreational sports league?

Can I track race or lap times?
Yes. Time-based scoring with millisecond precision and ascending sort (fastest first). Perfect for 5Ks, time trials, karting laps, swim meets, and CrossFit WODs.
Can I display on the venue scoreboard?
Yes. Open the leaderboard URL in any browser on a smart TV, gym screen or arena display, and click full-screen. Auto-refreshes over WebSocket.
Is it free for sports clubs?
Yes. Free plan = 2 leaderboards, unlimited teams or athletes — enough for a season's league plus a tournament. Premium ($6.99/month) adds unlimited boards and club branding.
Can multiple officials update scores?
Yes. Anyone with the edit link can submit results — no separate logins. Hand the link to refs, table judges or scorekeepers and they update from their phone.
