What a badminton scoreboard does
A badminton scoreboard tracks one match: points in the current game, games won by each side, and the interval at 11. JudgeMate keeps all of it on one screen and updates the score the moment you tap.
Badminton runs on rally scoring, so every rally ends in a point whoever served. A game goes to 21, win by two, and a match is best of 3 games. The board keeps the game open past 21 until the gap reaches two.
Open the board in a browser on a phone, tablet, laptop or TV. Share a public link or QR code and spectators follow the same score live. No account, no install, no cost.
Built for badminton scoring
The cap at 30
No game runs forever. At 29:29 the two-point rule stops: the next rally takes the game at 30, whatever the margin, and the board closes it.
Games to 21, best of 3
Badminton has no clock. JudgeMate closes each game at 21 points, checks the two-point margin, and ends the match when a side wins two games.
Interval at 11
The board flags the interval the moment a side reaches 11 points in a game. Players take the break, you tap on to carry the score forward.

Badminton scoreboard FAQ
How does badminton scoring work?
Every rally scores a point, whoever served. A game goes to 21 points, win by two, and the first side to two games takes the match. The board adds the point and closes the game for you.
What happens at 29:29?
The two-point rule stops there. The next rally wins the game at 30, so no game climbs past that. The board closes the game as soon as the point lands.
Can I put the scoreboard on a TV?
Yes. Open the board or its public link in any browser on a TV, laptop or tablet. The layout scales to the screen, and the score updates live as you tap.
Is it free, and do I need an account?
The board is free. Create one and start scoring without signing up. An account only matters if you want to save a match and come back to it later.
Does the board handle a tournament draw?
No. It scores one match at a time, with no draw or standings behind it. For the next match on court, open a new board. A full tournament draw runs on the tournament side of JudgeMate.
