Live tournament scores with volunteers: a phone, a code and teams that keep the score

Live scores do not need a press box. Volunteers score on a phone with their own code, and an idle team can keep the score or light stats of another game.

Parents and fans want to see the scores live. With SportApp you get there without a press box: whoever is at the field scores the game on a phone, and the result is on the tournament page while the game is still on.

Volunteers score with their own code

A volunteer does not need an account. Each scorer opens the scoring view with their own code, so several fields can be scored at the same time. A referee gets a clock code that runs the game clock and records the score in the SportApp app.

In flag football the scorer taps the touchdown and the extra point with the scorer and the passer, and the score is public at once.

Let the teams keep the score

In many tournaments the teams score each other’s games. Turn on Allow teams as referees, and you can set an idle team as the referee or scorekeeper of another game.

You decide how much the team records: only the score, or light stats, meaning the score and the key events. If a refereeing team plays at the same time, SportApp warns you.
