A live scoreboard is a real-time digital system that displays and updates sports scores for spectators during an active match. JudgeMate's live scoreboard runs in any browser — one person controls the match while everyone else follows via a shared link.
JudgeMate is a dual-screen scoreboard system. One person controls the match from any device with a browser — updating scores, managing the clock, tracking cards and fouls. Everyone else opens a shared link and sees the live score on their own screen, whether that's a phone, a venue TV, or a wall-mounted projector.
Unlike simple score counters, JudgeMate understands sport-specific rules. Football mode tracks cumulative time with stoppage display. Basketball enforces FIBA quarter structure with shot clock. Ice hockey runs penalty timers visible to spectators. Volleyball manages sets, tiebreaks, and serve rotation automatically.
Built for anyone who needs a scoreboard: league organizers, PE teachers, tournament directors, recreational teams, sports bars showing local matches, or community centers hosting events. If there's a match and people want to see the score — JudgeMate handles it.
Live scoreboards are used by referees, sports club organizers, tournament directors, school PE teachers, and amateur league administrators who need to display match results to spectators in real time.
