## What is Whistle Buddy?

Whistle Buddy is the referee's best friend on the field — a clean, fast scorekeeper built by a teenage flag football ref who couldn't find a tool that actually worked.

Set up a game in seconds. Track the clock, score touchdowns, log every play, and share the final results when the whistle blows.

- One-tap scoring: touchdown (+6), 2-point conversion, PAT (+1)
- Per-team undo: fix mistakes without losing the whole log
- 2-minute warning and 10-second countdown alerts
- Full activity log: every score, timeout, and clock edit recorded
- Final results screen with MVP awards and native share
