🀽 Water polo

Free water polo scoring app that knows the rules

Water polo is four short quarters on a stopped clock with a possession clock running on top, one point a goal, and exclusions that send a player out for twenty seconds. A tied knockout goes straight to a penalty shootout. The app runs the game and shot clocks on the server, counts goals and exclusions for each cap color and runs the shootout.

What is built in
  • Four 8-minute quarters on a server-side clock
  • 30-second possession clock, reset on every goal
  • One tap per goal, exclusions counted per team
  • Overtime or straight to a penalty shootout

How to keep score

How water polo scoring works

Eight minutes each at senior level with a stopped clock, seven in many high school games and shorter for youth. The clock runs on the server, so the pool deck phone can lock without losing time.
