A Scoreboard That Keeps the Game Moving

Nothing kills the energy of a review game faster than scoring on a corner of the whiteboard: you turn your back on the class, the marker dies, and someone always disputes the tally. An interactive scoreboard on the projector fixes all three — scores are huge, colorful, and update the moment you tap. This one needs no account and no setup: add your teams, pick a point value, and start playing. Everything saves in your browser, so the scoreboard survives a refresh mid-game.

Game Formats That Work With Point Increments

  • Jeopardy-style review: set points to 10, award on correct answers, subtract on misses if you play with penalties — negative scores are allowed.
  • Table points / PBIS systems: keep the scoreboard up all week at +1 per good behavior catch; the running total and rankings do the motivating for you.
  • Vocabulary battles and quiz bowls: quick +1 scoring with the sound cue on, so the class hears every point land.
  • Tournament brackets: up to 12 teams with distinct colors covers a whole class of table groups; turn on Podium mode for a live tiered leaderboard — the leader’s card grows and glows in its team color, runners-up form the second row.

Built for the Projector

Present Fullscreen turns the page into a clean, ad-free display with giant color-coded scores — readable from the back row — while the + and − buttons stay usable, so the teacher scores directly on the projected screen or from the laptop driving it. Ties share a rank, the leader wears the crown, and Reset Scores starts the next round without rebuilding your teams. Pair it with the random team picker to make fair teams first, and the classroom timer to put a countdown on each round.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a free interactive scoreboard for the classroom?

Yes — this one. It is fully interactive: tap + or − and the scores, rankings, and crown update live while the class watches, with sound cues if you want them. There is no account, no download, and no locked features; teams, colors, and scores save in your browser automatically.

How do I put the scoreboard on the projector?

Click Present Fullscreen. The scoreboard fills the screen with giant scores and no ads, and the + and − buttons stay tappable, so you can keep scoring from the same screen while the class watches. Press Escape to exit.

Can I use it for a Jeopardy-style review game?

Yes — that is exactly what the point increments are for. Set points to 10, tap + on the team that answers correctly, and use − for wrong-answer penalties if you play with them. Scores can go negative, so penalty rules work too.

Does it save scores if I close the tab?

Yes. Teams, names, colors, and scores are saved in your browser automatically, so a dropped connection or an accidental refresh does not wipe the game. Use Reset Scores to start the next round with the same teams.

How many teams can I add?

Up to 12 teams, each with its own color and an editable name — enough for table groups in a full classroom. Click a team name to rename it, and remove teams with the × in the corner of their card.

Can teams lose points?

Yes. The − button subtracts the current point increment, and scores are allowed to go below zero for penalty-based games. The rankings update instantly, ties share the same rank, and the leader gets the crown.

I tapped the wrong team — can I undo it?

Yes — Undo reverses your recent point changes one at a time (it works in fullscreen too, right below the cards). When the round ends, Copy standings puts the ranked results on your clipboard, ready to paste into a class reward chart or a message home.

Can points carry over the whole week?

Yes — table-points systems are weekly economies, so the scoreboard has a bank: click Bank today’s points at the end of the day and today’s scores move into each team’s running week total while the board resets to 0 for tomorrow. Every card shows "This week: N" until you click Reset week, the button that appears next to it once something has been banked (typically Friday, after the winners are crowned).

Can I save my class teams and load them again next lesson?

Yes — type a name in the "Save teams as…" box in the Rosters row and click Save, and that set of team names and colors is kept in this browser. You can hold 10 rosters; saving under a name you already used replaces it, and an 11th new save quietly drops the oldest. Next lesson, tap a roster’s name and the whole set comes back in their colors with every score at 0 — no retyping. Loading clears the week bank as well as today’s scores, and banking first does not protect it, so use Copy standings to keep the week totals as text before you load.
