Basketball Scoreboard & Timer

Courtside turns your phone or tablet into a real basketball scoreboard with a shot clock, a game clock and a loud buzzer. It is built for coaches, referees, scorers and parents who run school, club, rec and pickup games. No ads, no subscription, no account.

SHOT CLOCK THAT RESETS ITSELF

• 24/14 shot clock, or 30, 35 or any value your league uses

• A basket or a change of possession resets it to 24; a defensive foul or a kicked ball raises it to 14 only when it is below 14

• Shot-clock violation horn at 0, and the game clock stops with it

• Switches off when less game time is left than a full shot clock

GAME CLOCK AND BUZZER

• Quarters or halves of any length, plus overtime

• Tenths of a second in the last minute

• A loud arena-style horn at the end of every period, and a horn button

• No beeps on every tap

SCORE, FOULS AND TIMEOUTS

• +1, +2 and +3 buttons for each team, and −1 to correct a mistake

• Team fouls with BONUS and double-bonus lights

• Timeouts per half and per overtime, possession arrow

• Undo for the last actions, even several in a row

BIG DISPLAY

• Black LED scoreboard: amber clocks, scores in the team colours

• Portrait or landscape; the digits scale to any phone or tablet

• Full screen with the screen kept on, readable from across the gym

TWO-DEVICE LINK (PRO)

Use your phone as the remote and a tablet or a second phone as the display. The devices connect directly over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi: no internet, no router, no account. Both screens show the same 4-digit code, so you always link the right device. The display runs the clocks in step with the controller and sounds the buzzer too. If it drops out or gets closed, it reconnects and catches up by itself. One controller can feed several displays, and only the controlling device needs Pro.

RULE PRESETS

International (24 s), Pro (24 s), College (30 s), High school (35 s), High school (30 s), Rec league (no shot clock) and Custom. Every value is editable: period length, overtime, shot clock and reset, bonus fouls, timeouts.

Need a simple timer for basketball practice? Pick the Rec league preset and run the game clock on its own, or keep the shot clock for drills.

NEVER LOSE A GAME

Every change is saved the moment it happens. If your phone closes the app in the middle of a game, open it again and tap Resume: the score, fouls, timeouts and clocks are all still there.
