Musco Scorekeeper

Musco Scoreboard is a fast, focused scorekeeper for Musco LED scoreboards. Run a baseball game or a soccer match from your iPhone — with or without a connected display. WORKS OFFLINE The app is fully functional without any scoreboard, server, or internet connection. Tap "Offline Mode" on the home screen and start a game right away. Every action runs locally on your device and is persisted across cold starts, so you can resume your last game on the next launch. BASEBALL • Track balls, strikes, and outs with a single tap per pitch • Add runs to either team with the prominent + button • Build a line score inning by inning, with the standard R column • Three-out side-change cascade clears the count automatically • Clear the count without changing outs via the dedicated CLEAR button • Long-press any number for direct numeric entry (scores, balls, strikes, outs, inning) • Edit team names — long-press the VISITOR or HOME label SOCCER • One-tap goals for either side, with a minus button to correct • Countdown match clock with start/stop, half selector and extra time • Stoppage time shown beside the clock (+1', +2', …) • Rule presets — FIFA, NCAA, High School, MLS, UEFA knockout — or customize half length and extra time for youth play • Resume a match in progress after reopening the app LIVE CONTROL OF MUSCO LED SCOREBOARDS When a compatible Musco LED scoreboard is on the same Wi-Fi network, the app discovers it automatically via Bonjour. Pick the display — each field's board shows by name — and every scoring action drives the physical scoreboard in real time. Multiple displays at one venue? See each one's online/offline status at a glance and swipe-left to forget displays you no longer use. CLEAN, OPERATOR-FRIENDLY UI Designed for one-thumb operation at a scorer's table or on the touchline: • Dark navy background with high-contrast yellow accents — readable in bright stadium light • Big tap targets sized for fast input mid-play • A confirmation before "New Game" / "New Match" prevents accidental mid-game resets • Status indicators tell you exactly when something is wrong — and stay out of your way otherwise NO ACCOUNTS, NO ADS, NO SUBSCRIPTIONS Musco Scoreboard is a focused utility app. There are no logins, no purchases, no analytics, and no third-party trackers. The app communicates only with Musco scoreboards on your local Wi-Fi network — never with any external server.
