Baseline Scoreboard

Baseline Scoreboard turns your tablet or phone into a basketball scoreboard for matches and training sessions. Set the game length, choose quarters or halves, add a shot clock if you need one, and run the table from the bench. It is built for the volunteer at the scorer's table — the person who has thirty seconds between possessions and cannot afford to hunt through a menu. Made for the scorer's table • Targets sized for a fast hand, not a design mock — no 30-pixel buttons • Every tap answers back: it flashes, it buzzes, and it can click • One-tap UNDO, and a full log to step further back • Score corrections go through a big keypad, never a fiddly minus button • The screen stays awake for the whole game A clock you can trust • The horn is scheduled for the exact instant of zero, not the next redraw • Anchored timing: the clock cannot drift, however long a period runs • Close the app, drop the tablet, come back — the game is exactly where it was • Distinct shot-clock horn, FIBA auto-blanking, resets that never start a stopped clock Rules that match your competition • FIBA, NBA, NCAA, high school and a fully custom preset • FIBA Underage preset with the Basketball Ireland age grades (U11 to U14) • Bonus rules as your competition plays them: per period or half, one-and-one or two shots, and the timeout caps of the final period • Period count and length, overtime, shot clock, team fouls, timeouts • Intervals between periods, or none at all Training and pickup • Countdown, interval and shot-clock drill timers • Scrimmage mode: first to a target, with scoring buttons you shape yourself • Multi-team games for up to six teams: 3x3x3, king of the court, cutthroat • A playbook to draw up and animate plays After the game • Every game saved, with a period-by-period box summary • Share a picture of the result and a CSV of every action Baseline Pro • Cast the board to a television over HDMI or AirPlay — a proper arena display for spectators while you keep the controls • Player fouls: enter a roster and FOUL asks who, and what kind. A player reaching the limit is called under the clock, with the reason, and the summary lists every player's fouls • Equal-play tracking for underage games: who is on each quarter, who must play now, who has played their maximum • A game record PDF of what the board tracked, laid out like a scoresheet • Scrimmage scoring you can shape — reward a stop or a rebound, dock a turnover — and save the set-up by name • Multi-team training games (3x3x3, king of the court, cutthroat): two to six teams on one board, all-play or winner-stays rotation • Playbook: saved plays, cut and screen library, defences, video • Custom shot-clock values, saved rule presets, a team library with rosters • Full game history, full undo log, summary export • Have a code from us? Redeem it in Settings Free forever: a complete, unlimited game. No account, no sign-up, and nothing a volunteer needs to run a match is behind a paywall.
