What's New A major update — Universal Scorekeeper has been reimagined from the ground up. Bigger, smarter, and built for everything from family game night to full-scale tournaments. Choose a Game Home Screen A beautiful new visual grid of game tiles greets you on launch. Search by name, filter by category (Card, Dice, Board, Sport), and tap any tile to jump straight into a pre-configured setup. A Resume Game shortcut surfaces your most recent in-progress game right from the home screen. 25+ Ready-to-Play Game Templates Dominoes, Yahtzee, Mahjong, Bridge, Cribbage, Scrabble, Bowling, Darts, Tennis, Golf, Chess, Checkers, Backgammon, Hearts, Spades, Euchre, Rummy, Poker, Farkle, Bunco, Pig, Trivial Pursuit, Risk, Pub Quiz, and more — each pre-configured with the right rules, scoring mode, and accent styling so you can start playing in seconds. Full Tournament Management Run real tournaments in five professional formats: • Round Robin — everyone plays everyone • Single Elimination — classic knockout bracket • Double Elimination — winners and losers brackets with Grand Final • Swiss System — paired by record, no eliminations • Group + Knockout — World Cup-style group stage into bracket Includes automatic seeding, bye handling, bracket visualization, live standings with full tiebreaker logic, and a fullscreen dashboard mode perfect for projection at venues and clubs. Shared Sessions & Live Sync Host a game and share a simple 6-character join code. Everyone scores from their own device with real-time sync, full offline support, and smart conflict resolution when devices reconnect. Host permission controls let you decide who can edit scores and who can end the game. New Stats Dashboard A dedicated Stats tab shows total games played, total rounds, top winners, and recent activity at a glance — with drill-downs into per-player and per-game-type performance, score trends, and achievement progress.
