ShareScore puts live scoreboards in the hands of every parent, coach, and fan — for any sport, at any field, in any town. Whether you're keeping score at a youth soccer game or watching from the parking lot while your other kid is warming up, ShareScore makes it effortless to share and follow live scores in real time. **KEEP SCORE IN SECONDS** Create a live scoreboard in under 30 seconds. Choose from 40+ sport templates — basketball, soccer, football, baseball, volleyball, lacrosse, hockey, rugby, and more — and ShareScore sets up the right scoring buttons, period structure, and clock automatically. No complex setup. Just pick your sport and start. **SHARE INSTANTLY** Every game gets a short link (like sharescore.app/g/XKRT4N7B). Text it to grandma, post it to the team group chat, or share it on social media. Anyone who taps the link sees your live scoreboard in their browser — no app download required. **GPS DISCOVERY — NO LINK NEEDED** Family at the field but can't find the right game? ShareScore uses GPS to show nearby live games automatically. Open the app at the facility and active games appear sorted by distance. Zero friction for spectators. **STAY UPDATED FROM ANYWHERE** Follow any game and receive real-time push notifications as the score changes, periods end, or a game goes to overtime. Can't make it to the field today? Follow along from home. **LOCK SCREEN LIVE ACTIVITY** *(iOS 16.1+)* Keep the score on your lock screen and in the Dynamic Island without ever opening the app. The Live Activity widget updates in real time as plays happen — perfect for checking the score mid-conversation. **TRUST THE SCOREBOARD** Every scorekeeper has a public reputation tier — Bronze, Silver, or Gold — earned through consistent, accurate scoring and verified by community ratings. After every game, GPS-verified attendees rate the scoreboard thumbs up or down. You can always see who's keeping score and how trusted they are. **BUILT FOR EVERY SPORT** - Team sports: basketball, soccer, football, baseball, softball, volleyball, lacrosse, hockey, rugby, and more - Game clock modes: official timer, unofficial/approximate clock, or period-only tracking - Period / inning / set tracking with automatic overtime support - Sport-specific scoring actions (3-pointers, touchdowns, runs, goals — whatever your sport needs) **FEATURES FOR TEAMS** Create a persistent team profile, build a game history across seasons, and let your followers know when your team is playing.

Pre-plan your schedule, assign volunteer scorekeepers to specific fields, define GPS event zones, and send announcements to all attendees — all from the web portal before you arrive. **FREE TO USE** View any scoreboard, follow games, and keep score — all free, forever. Upgrade for an ad-free experience, push notifications, Live Activity, and 1-year game history. --- *ShareScore works best for youth sports, recreational leagues, club tournaments, and any game where a professional scoreboard isn't available.
