Free basketball scoring app that knows the rules
A basketball scoreboard needs a clock as much as a score, and the clock has to survive somebody's phone locking mid-quarter. This one runs on the server, so the bench phone, the TV in the corner and the stream overlay all show the same time. One, two and three point buttons, team fouls and the bonus, overtime, a shot clock, or a pickup game straight to 21.
- Big +1 / +2 / +3 buttons per team (or 1s and 2s for pickup)
- Server-side game clock that survives a dead phone
- Shot clock, halves or quarters, overtime, mercy rule
- Pickup mode: first to 11 / 15 / 21, win by 2, no clock

This is the real engine, with real basketball rules. Use the buttons under each team to score. Nothing is saved and nobody is asked to sign up.
How basketball scoring works
Set the number of periods and their length, start and stop the clock, and tap +1, +2 or +3. Team fouls count per period with a bonus indicator. The clock runs on the server, so a dead phone does not lose time.
