How to use the online scorekeeper

Step-by-step instructions for Table Scorekeeper.

Table Scorekeeper is a free online scorekeeper for board games, card games, classroom contests, and Jeopardy-style point tracking. Add two to ten players or team labels, rename them, tap common score changes, or enter a custom positive or negative adjustment. Undo protects against a mistap, round notes help mark progress, and an optional target score highlights leaders. The active game stays in local browser storage. The pad records what you enter; it does not know game rules or verify an official result.

How it works

1. Set the number of players (2–10) and edit names on the scoreboard.
2. Tap quick increment buttons or enter a custom delta for each player or team row.
3. Use undo if you mis-tap; add round notes when you advance rounds.
4. Optionally set a target score, print a summary, or rematch to zero scores while keeping names.

Examples

• Board game night: Use +1, +5, and +10 buttons during a fast scoring round.
• Penalty points: Enter a negative custom delta and add a note explaining the correction.
• Target race: Set a target score so leaders and winners are highlighted automatically.

Limitations

• The scorekeeper does not enforce game rules, settle ties beyond what you enter, or sync a game across devices.
• It is not affiliated with any TV game show; Jeopardy-style use means generic point tracking only.
