Intramural is the companion app for school intramural sports leagues — built for players, not spectators. See your schedule, live scores, and stats the moment they happen. Intramural pulls double duty as your team hub and your league's scoreboard: SCHEDULE Every game on your team's calendar, grouped by week, with times and matchups. LIVE GAMES Box scores update in real time while the game is being played — points, rebounds, assists, and the full stat line for both teams, plus a play-by-play feed. STANDINGS League standings and scoring leaders, updated the moment a game goes final. YOUR STATS Your own box score from every game you've played, right on your home screen. AVAILABILITY Tell your team which lunch periods and after-school slots work for you — miss nothing, double-book nothing. NOTIFICATIONS Schedule changes, final scores, and trade updates land in your inbox as they happen. Joining a league takes a six-character code from your school's commissioner — ask whoever runs your intramural program to get set up. Built for lunch periods everywhere.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Intramural at 5.0 against Gym Timer's 4.5. Intramural also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). Gym Timer's advantage is ratings volume (460 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
