SOUND FAMILIAR?

THE OLD WAY IS BROKEN

Paper Scoresheets

Scribbling on paper, losing track of timeouts, and hoping you remembered the score correctly.

Manual Clocks

Fumbling with separate timers, yelling out times, and inconsistent game pacing.

No Sync

Coaches asking "what's the score?" every 30 seconds. Parents confused on the sidelines.
