Pickleball scorekeeper

A pickleball scorekeeper that handles sideout scoring and the first-service exception.

Free · no signup · 5-letter PIN

Pickleball scoring is famously confusing. Server number, second server, the first-service-of-the-game exception. scoremy.games handles the rally state machine for you. Tap the team that won the rally; we update the score, swap servers when needed, and bump the server number on a loss.

Great for league play, recreational courts, and the inevitable "wait, what is the score?" mid-rally.

How Pickleball scoring works

Only the serving team can score.
Server wins the rally: +1, same server stays.
Server #1 loses: no point, server # bumps to 2 (still same team).
Server #2 loses: no point, sideout (other team gets serve at #1).
First-service-of-the-game exception: the team serving first only gets ONE server (starts at #2).

Set up the courtside scoreboard

Put a tablet courtside so both teams can glance up between rallies. No more walking back to a phone to check the score, and the serving indicator is large enough to read from the back of the court.

Step-by-step

On the scoring phone, create or open the game and tap Share.
On the tablet, open the TV view link (or paste the URL https://scoremy.games/v/PIN with your PIN).
Prop the tablet up where both sides can see it. A net post, bench, or court fence works.
Score from the phone. The tablet updates live within a second.

Getting the tablet online

The tablet needs internet to receive live score updates. Three ways:

Tether the tablet to your phone's hotspot. Most reliable and works on any court.
Use the facility wifi if one exists and reaches the court.
A cellular iPad needs nothing, just open the URL.

Pickleball scoring FAQ

Does it handle rally scoring (non-traditional)?

Not yet. This is for traditional sideout scoring. Rally scoring is closer to our Volleyball mode if you want it.

Can the loser undo?

Yes. Admin (or anyone with the scoring code) can undo the last rally. The state machine rewinds correctly.

Is there a target enforcement (first to 11)?

No automatic win. We show "first to 11" as a hint badge but you decide when to tap Finish.

Ready to score?

No signup. Five-letter PIN. Live scoreboard.
