## What is LaxClock?

Whether you’re a coach, official, or scorekeeper, LaxClock makes it effortless to manage every aspect of the game. All you have to do is start/stop the clock and enter penalties, goals, and timeouts. LaxClock will take care of the rest.

— Time & Scorekeeping Made Simple —
- Track game time, shot clock, team score, and timeouts remaining in real time.

- Timeouts per half and timeout length
- Shot clock reset times
- Default penalty durations
