About this tool
Free online scoreboard for 2–8 teams with a game clock, basketball, cricket, badminton and table tennis rules, undo, history and a full-screen display.
This online scoreboard keeps score for two to eight teams or players and turns any laptop, tablet or TV into a score display. Pick a preset and the rules come with it: basketball has quarters and a countdown clock, cricket scores runs, wickets and overs ball by ball with wides and no-balls, and badminton and table tennis play to 21 or 11 with win-by-2, track games won and show who is serving. Every change can be undone, finished rounds and games are kept in a history table, and the whole board saves in your browser, so a refresh or a closed tab does not lose the score. Full screen shows large numbers you can read from across a room.
Open Online Scoreboard on AltFTool — it loads instantly in your browser.
In Game setup choose a Sport / preset — Generic, Basketball, Cricket, Badminton (21, win by 2) or Table tennis (11, win by 2) — and for Generic pick 2 to 8 Teams / players, then press Start this game.
Click a team name to rename it and pick one of the 6 colour swatches; score with the +1, +2, +3 and −1 buttons, a custom Points box, or keys 1–8 (Shift for −1).
Use Start, Pause and Reset on the clock, and End round, End quarter or End innings to record that period in History; rally games are recorded automatically.
Press Full screen (or F) for the big display, Undo (U or Ctrl+Z) to reverse a mistake, and CSV in History to download every round's score.
Rally presets end a game at 21 or 11 only with a 2-point lead (badminton stops at 30), basketball goes to overtime when tied, and cricket ends an innings when all out, overs run out or the target is passed.
Full screen mode hides the controls, scales the scores to the screen and asks the device to keep the display awake while it is open.
Up to 50 score changes can be undone with the Undo button, U or Ctrl+Z, including a game that was ended by a mistaken point.
Teams, colours, scores, the clock and the round history are stored in your browser, so a reload carries on where you left off.
Choose a preset under Game setup, name your teams and start scoring with the +1, +2, +3 and −1 buttons under each score. Click a score to type it directly. For generic games, End round saves that round's points to History and resets the board; the History table keeps a total. Everything happens in the browser with no sign-up.
Yes. Open the page on a laptop connected to the TV or projector and press Full screen or the F key. The controls shrink, team names and scores grow to fit the screen, and the device is asked to keep the screen awake. You can keep scoring from the keyboard with 1 to 8 for each team, then press Esc to leave.
The Generic preset supports from 2 to 8 teams or players, each with its own name and colour. Sport presets for basketball, cricket, badminton and table tennis are fixed at two sides, because the rules are written for two. If you add teams mid-game, existing scores are kept.
Badminton uses rally scoring: every rally wins a point, whoever served. A game goes to 21 points, but you must lead by 2, so 21–20 continues; if it reaches 29–29 the next point wins at 30. A match is the best of three games. The badminton preset applies all of this and marks the side that won the last rally as serving.
A table tennis game is played to 11 points with a 2-point lead, so from 10–10 play continues until one side is two ahead. Service changes every 2 points, and every point from 10–10. Matches are usually the best of 5 or 7 games. The table tennis preset tracks this rotation for you and you can change Best of in Game setup.
Choose Cricket, set the overs per innings and tap a button for each delivery: 0 to 6 runs, Wicket, or Wide, No ball or Bye before the runs. Wides and no-balls add one extra run and are not counted as one of the six balls in the over. The innings ends when all wickets fall, the overs run out or the target is passed.
Run rate is runs divided by overs bowled, where each ball is one sixth of an over. A side on 45 after 7.3 overs has faced 45 balls, so the run rate is 45 × 6 ÷ 45 = 6.00. In the second innings the board also shows the runs needed, the balls left and the required run rate.
Yes. Undo, the U key or Ctrl+Z steps back one change at a time, up to 50 changes, including a game or innings that ended because of the mistake. The game clock is not rolled back by undo, so a running timer keeps its time. Renaming a team and changing colours are not counted as undo steps.
No. The scoreboard saves to your browser's local storage a moment after every change, including the clock, teams, colours, history and undo steps, and restores it when you come back on the same device and browser. Nothing is uploaded. Clearing your browsing data or using a private window removes the saved game.
Yes. Generic and Basketball have a clock that can count up or count down from any length you choose, with Start, Pause and Reset and the Space key. Under a minute the countdown shows tenths of a second. A short beep sounds at zero, and in basketball a tie after the fourth quarter starts a 5-minute overtime.
