A volleyball scoreboard with real rules, a whistle when time runs out and a king-of-the-court mode that runs the rotation for you. Futsal, soccer, basketball and handball with the right periods — and when the group wants more, the whole tournament in the same app. Works offline, no account, no sign-up. VOLLEYBALL, REAL RULES Sets to 25, win by 2, with a 15-point tiebreak in the 5th set: a set never ends at 25–24. Beach volleyball with sets to 21 and a 15-point tiebreak in the 3rd. The app tells you when a set is over, marks the deciding set on screen and switches sides. WHISTLE WHEN TIME RUNS OUT Futsal, soccer, basketball and handball come with the right periods. When time runs out the app blows the whistle — a buzzer for basketball — and vibrates, so whoever is keeping time doesn't have to stare at the phone. The sound plays over your music without stopping it, and you can turn it off in Settings. The screen stays on during the match, and the clock stays right even if you lock your phone. KING OF THE COURT Winner stays on. Set a goal limit and a clock, and the app runs the rotation: whoever loses goes to the back of the line, the next team comes in, score and timer reset. Built for pickup games where the court is rented by the hour. TEAM DRAW Paste the list straight from your group chat and the app draws the teams at random. No typing names one at a time. LIVE SCOREBOARD One tap to score. The number fills the screen so it stays readable from across the court, in portrait or landscape. Undo any point, including the one you just tapped by mistake. Press and hold the score to type a correction. Overtime and penalty shootouts with sudden death, for when the match needs a winner. TOURNAMENTS AND BRACKETS - Group stage with live standings - Knockout brackets - Round-robin - Groups and knockout combined - Overtime and penalties in knockout matches - Team colors and badges, so you know who is who at a glance Works the same for a school tournament, an office league or a neighborhood cup. MATCH REPORT Export a tournament or a single match as a printable PDF — standings, fixtures and bracket. Or share as plain text to any chat. HISTORY AND STATISTICS Every match saved with a full event timeline: every point, every set, every period. Wins, draws, losses, win rate and point difference per team. WORKS ANYWHERE No connection needed to score a match or run a tournament. Everything is stored on your device — no account, no cloud. Light and dark mode, haptic feedback, eight scoreboard colors. The interface is available in English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, Danish and Ukrainian. FREE AND PREMIUM Free: volleyball, beach volleyball, futsal, soccer, basketball and handball, casual mode, king of the court, team draw, the whistle, team identity and text sharing. Premium unlocks custom mode, overtime and penalties, unlimited history and tournaments, full statistics, all scoreboard colors and the PDF match report.
