What a beach volleyball scoreboard does
A beach volleyball scoreboard tracks one match between two pairs: points in the current set, sets won, the side switches and any cards. JudgeMate keeps all of it on one screen and updates the score the moment you tap.
Beach volleyball runs rally scoring, so every rally ends in a point whoever served. Sets go to 21 and a deciding third set to 15, both won by two clear points. Teams change ends every 7 points, and every 5 in the third, so neither pair keeps the sun or the wind for long.
Open the board in any browser on a phone, tablet, laptop or courtside TV. Share a public link or QR code and spectators follow the same score live. No account, no install, no cost.
Built for the sand
Sets to 21, switch every 7
Sets run to 21 points and the deciding third to 15. The board counts the side switches with you: every 7 points, and every 5 in the third set.
Two sets take the match
The first pair to win two sets wins the match. Each set stays open past 21, or past 15 in the third, until one pair leads by two clear points.
Cards and timeouts
A yellow card logs a warning. A red card gives a point to the other pair and the board adds it to the score straight away. Each team has one timeout per set.

Beach volleyball scoreboard FAQ
How does beach volleyball scoring work?
Every rally ends in a point, whichever pair served. Sets go to 21, win by two, and the deciding third set goes to 15. The first pair to take two sets wins the match.
Why do teams switch ends?
Sun, wind and the state of the sand are never the same on both sides of the net. Switching every 7 points, and every 5 in the third set, shares those conditions out. The board counts the switches so nobody has to track them in their head.
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 and starts without a sign-up. There is no paywall and no ads on the public view. An account only matters if you want to save a match for later.
What does a red card do to the score?
In volleyball a red card gives a point to the opponent, unlike football. Tap it on the board and the point goes across immediately. A yellow card is a warning and leaves the score alone.
