Run the scoreboard from a phone
Give a scorer their own login, switch live scoring on for the event, and drive the score, clock and period from the venue.
On this page
Phone scoring suits a volunteer, a stats keeper or a producer sitting courtside. Your scorer gets a login that only touches the score. They can’t see billing, content or settings, and nobody has to share an administrator password.
Before game day: give your scorer a login
- 1Check the scoring role
Go to Studio → Management → Roles & Permissions. Your platform comes with a ready-made scoring role that holds the live scoring permissions and nothing else. You can also tick those permissions on a role you built yourself; on screen, each one starts with the scoring app’s name. Only administrators can open this page.
- 2Create the scorer’s account
Go to Studio → Management → Staff Members, add the scorer with their email address and a password, and assign the scoring role.
- 3Switch live scoring on for the event
In Studio → Content → Events, open the event, switch on the live scoring tile in the Integrations card, set Status to Active and save.
- 4Sign in on the phone
The scorer opens the live scoring app and signs in with the same email and password. If your crew doesn’t have the app yet, ask your TKDS contact.

During the game
- 1Pick the event
The app lists only events that are Active with live scoring switched on. If a game is missing, check both settings on the event.
- 2Keep the score
Tap each side’s score up or down. The first change switches viewers’ matchup card from the countdown to the live score.
- 3Run the clock
Start and stop the clock, counting up or down. Viewers’ clocks keep running between score updates.
- 4Set the period
Give the period any label your sport uses: Q3, Half 2, Set 4, Inning 5.
- 1Add added time or a shoot-out
For football (soccer), the scorer can show an amber added-time chip with its own running clock, and a penalty shoot-out strip with a dot for each kick: scored, missed or still to come.
- 2Lock the final
When officials confirm the result, finalize the event. The score freezes. See Finalizing & correcting a score.
If two people score the same game
Each change is checked against the latest score before it’s accepted. If another phone got there first, the second phone is stopped, told the event was updated from another device, and shown the current score. Two changes sent at exactly the same moment can still both be saved, so agree who is scoring and have a backup scorer take over only when asked.
