Stay organized, stay ahead—your wins, stats, and progress all in one place. Score Jar makes it effortless to record the games you play with family and friends, so you never have to rely on someone’s fuzzy memory or friendly “mis-remembering” again. Create leaderboards, invite players instantly, and track every score with a clean, intuitive flow. Just download the app, sign in with your preferred social login, create a leaderboard, invite players with one tap, and start tracking—it's simpler than you think. Key Features Create Leaderboards Build custom leaderboards supported by three game modes to fit any style of play: • Win / Loss One winner, everyone else loses. Track total wins and losses for classic competitive games. • Score-Based Save the scores earned after each game—highest score wins (football, FIFA), or lowest score wins (golf). When scores are approved, points are awarded based on the number of players: – 1 point for the winner in games with fewer than 3 players – 2 points for first place, 1 point for second in 3-player games – 3, 2, and 1 points for the top three in games with 4+ players • Rank-Based Enter each player’s rank at the end of a game. Perfect for formats with ordered results and optional ties. Once approved, ranks translate into points using the same scoring logic as score-based leaderboards. Track Scores See all players and their current rankings in one clean view. Monitor performance, standings, and overall competition progress at a glance. Leaderboard Updates Every recorded game requires full approval from all players to ensure fairness. View pending update requests, review results, and access the full history of games played—including every result that contributes to each player’s total score. Quick Invites Invite players instantly using a one-tap QR code or shareable link. Friends and family can join your leaderboard in seconds, from any device.
