What a handball scoreboard does
A handball scoreboard tracks one match: goals for each team, the running clock, the half, active exclusions and cards. JudgeMate keeps all of it on one screen and updates the score the moment you tap.
The clock counts up through two halves of 30 minutes and runs cumulatively, so the second half reads 30:00 to 60:00. If the match is level, the board opens overtime of 2 x 5 minutes, allows a second overtime, then moves to the 7 m shoot-out.
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 handball scoring
Two-minute exclusion timers
Log an exclusion and the board runs the two minutes down for that player. A third exclusion on the same player is flagged as a disqualification.
Clock that counts up
Two halves of 30 minutes, counted cumulatively. When the score is level the board adds overtime of 2 x 5 minutes, up to two of them, before the shoot-out.
Cards and one player up
Record yellow, red and blue cards. A red disqualifies the player and leaves the team short for two minutes, and the board marks which side plays with the extra player.

Handball scoreboard FAQ
How long is a handball match?
Two halves of 30 minutes, with a half-time break. The clock stops for timeouts and referee interventions, so a match usually fills 70 to 80 minutes of hall time. A level score sends the game to overtime of 2 x 5 minutes.
How does the two-minute exclusion work?
The excluded player leaves the court and the team plays one short until the two minutes run out. The board counts that time down for you. A third exclusion on the same player means disqualification, and the board flags it.
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 handball scoreboard is free, with no paywall and no ads on the public view. Create a board and start scoring straight away. An account only matters if you want to save a match to reuse later.
Can I run a whole tournament on it?
The board scores one match at a time, with its own clock, exclusions and cards. It does not build brackets or league tables. For a season table, JudgeMate has a separate leagues area.
