Courtside
Read full descriptionHide full description
Turn an iPad or iPhone into a real sports scoreboard, run it from your phone, and put it on the big screen. Courtside is built for school gyms, clubs, tournaments and pick-up games. It knows the rules of each sport, so you set up a game in seconds and the board does the rest. SPORTS AND RULES • Basketball FIBA, NBA and 3x3, handball, futsal and volleyball, plus a fully custom mode • Periods and period length, team fouls with a penalty indicator, timeouts per team, alternating possession arrow • Shot clock with 24 and 14 second resets, counting in tenths for the last five seconds • Overtime when the score is level, as many as your competition allows • Volleyball in sets: set points, sets won, and the deciding set to 15 • Save your own rule sets and start them again with one tap ON THE BOARD • Large clock and scores, readable from across the hall • The last ten seconds of every period run in tenths of a second • Tap to score, undo the last change, correct the clock, rename a team mid-game • Horn at the end of a period, and whenever you need it • Ended a period or the game by mistake? Correct the clock and play on, or reopen the game PHONE REMOTE, NOTHING TO INSTALL • Scan a QR code and control the board from any phone's browser on the same Wi-Fi • A second remote for a dedicated shot clock operator • You decide who controls the game: every link carries a key, new devices can require your approval, and you can lock the game once your crew is connected BIG SCREEN • Connect a TV or projector by cable or AirPlay to show a clean full-screen board while you keep the controls • Or open the board in the browser of any TV, laptop or tablet on the network • A separate full-screen shot clock display for a second tablet, for example above each basket AFTER THE GAME • Game summary with a period-by-period box score of points and fouls • Share the result as an image • Full game history MADE FOR THE HALL • Works without internet. The remote runs on your local network or a phone hotspot • No account, no ads, no tracking. Nothing leaves your network • iPhone and iPad layouts, and five languages: English, French, German, Spanish and Romanian
