## What is RackUp?

RackUp is a pool scoring app and billiards scorekeeper for real 8-ball, 9-ball, 10-ball, Straight Pool, and One-Pocket matches.

Whether you are playing a quick set with a friend, practicing outside league night, or running a serious handicapped match, RackUp makes it easy to score the match correctly and keep the game competitive.

RACKUP MATCH POINTS Every match now earns RackUp Match Points — a performance-based score calculated from your result, format, and skill level. Points appear on your match results screen for all game types. In 9-ball, bonus events like running out a rack are detected automatically and broken down rack by rack.

CERTIFIED MATCH Turn any real match into a Certified Match. Both players confirm the final score in-app, making the result official inside RackUp. Certified Matches can unlock RackUp Rating progress, badges, and future competition eligibility.

PLAYER IDs & QR CODE SHARING Every player has a unique 7-digit Player ID. Share yours instantly via QR code from the Match screen or Settings, or copy it with a tap. Recipients open a link that takes them straight to your profile in RackUp. When setting up a match, find any opponent by their Player ID or name.

FAST POOL SCORING Start a match in seconds. Choose the game format, set the players, and RackUp handles the scoring flow so you can focus on the table.

BUILT FOR REAL-WORLD PLAY RackUp is designed for real players on real pool tables. Use it for bar table matches, practice sessions, challenge matches, off-league play, and handicapped races with friends.

SUPPORTED FORMATS • 9-Ball • 8-Ball • 10-Ball • Straight Pool • One-Pocket

HANDICAP AND MATCH TOOLS Run proper race formats and skill-adjusted matches without doing the math yourself. RackUp helps you set up fairer matches and keep the score organized from start to finish.

### 5/5 — So excited to have this!!

*2026-06-13*

I've been hearing about this for some time & I'm really excited to finally start using it with the people I play with.

### 5/5 — Bout time

*2026-06-13*

Seriously it’s simple free and so easy to use! Definitely worthy of the download and use!!

### 5/5 — Perfect for Bar games and practice sessions

*2026-05-29*

I’ve been waiting for a clean pool tracker like this forever.    Perfect for staying sharp between league nights or when playing friends that aren’t quite at my level yet.  The UI looks great and functions perfectly without forcing you to upgrade.  10/10!

### 5/5 — Exactly what is needed

*2026-05-24*

Frustrating how matches are still scored on paper, so this covers exactly what is required and functions beautifully without any pressure to upgrade, though I’m considering a subscription anyway for the added features. Beautifully put together with straightforward and intuitive interface, it works like a charm. Can’t wait to get others on my team to use it. Why didn’t someone do this sooner??? Stellar app.

### 5/5 — So great!!!!

*2026-05-13*

I've always wanted an app to play my matches with friends!  This is awesome.

RackUp Match Certification
After a certified match ends, your opponent receives an in-app alert prompting them to confirm the result. The certification flow has been simplified and the results screen now routes directly to a clean match summary upon completion.

Player IDs & QR Code Sharing
Every player now has a unique 7-digit Player ID. Share yours via QR code — accessible from the Match tab header or your Settings screen — and recipients tap a deep link that opens straight to your profile in RackUp. Player IDs can also be copied with a single tap or shared via the system share sheet.

Find Opponents by Player ID
When setting up a match, you can now search for an opponent by their 7-digit Player ID in addition to their name.
