What's new

We add sports, formats and fixes regularly. Here is what changed, newest first. Something missing for your sport? Tell us.

10 November 2026 – Your results on your own website

  • Show a tournament's log, fixtures, results, player stats or a single match on your club's own website. Paste your tournament's public link into the widget builder, pick what to show and the colours, see a live preview and copy two lines of code. The widgets keep themselves up to date during a match night, fit in with your site's own fonts and come in light and dark.
  • A free WordPress plugin, Sport Scoring Results, does the same with a shortcode. The tables are part of your page, so search engines see your results too, and fixtures and results are marked up as sports events.
  • For developers: every tournament has read-only data feeds (competition, fixtures, log, stats and match detail) that any website or app can use. The embed page has the details.

9 November 2026 – League screens, indoor cricket scoresheets and player positions

  • League screens for the club TV: one private link turns a screen at your club into a league board. It rotates through your active leagues, each with the log, tonight's matches with each team's place, the latest results and the season leaders (top batsman, top bowler and top player, with their membership card photos). Club officials set it up under the new Kiosk tab in club management.
  • Printable indoor cricket scoresheets: a finished match prints on one A4 page, with the skins, every over ball by ball for each batting pair, the team stats and the player of the match. Matches scored with a match code for a club's tournament carry the club's name and logo. Use Print scoresheet at the end of a match, or the Scoresheet button in My results.
  • The live scoreboard for indoor cricket has its own layout: the overs in the middle, the batting pair and their runs on each side, and a colour-coded strip of the skins won and lost.
  • Player positions: in netball, ringball, korfball, hockey, rugby, touch, cricket, indoor cricket, softball, volleyball and lawn bowls, pick each player's position (or Sub) when you put them in a club team or a tournament entry. Positions come across with club team codes.
  • The TV board for tournaments now follows the day: the entry list before play starts, the logs during the groups, the knockout draw once two thirds of the group matches are played, and the final standings first when it is all over.

5 November 2026 – Pairs, and plate draws without repeats

  • Tournaments for pairs: in beach volleyball, Hexball, padel and doubles, an entry is two players, each with their own player ID. Both players get the series ranking points for where the pair finishes, and seeding adds the two players' points together. Online entry asks for your partner's name and ID, with one entry fee per pair.
  • World Cup format: when the third and fourth places of each group go into a plate, they now cross over like the main knockout (A3 against B4, B3 against A4), so the first plate round is never a repeat of a group match. Tournaments with plate results already in keep their draw.

2 November 2026 – Cricket, with Duckworth–Lewis

  • A cricket scorer for limited-overs matches: choose the players per team (11 by default) and the overs (40 by default), then score ball by ball with wides, no-balls, byes, leg byes, free hits, every type of dismissal, retirements and penalty runs. It keeps full batting and bowling cards, fall of wickets, run rates and the bowling limit.
  • Rain-affected matches use the Duckworth–Lewis Standard Edition: enter the revised overs and the app works out each side's resources, the new target and a live par score, and decides an abandoned match on par (or a no result if too few overs were bowled). The guide explains the method with three worked examples.

28 October 2026 – Hexball and membership cards

  • A Hexball scorer for two against two or the one-player version, following the Hexball SA official rules: sets to 11 with a 2-point lead, best of three or five, the serve every second point and every point near the end of a set, the serving order inside each team, the change of sides at 5 in the deciding set, 30-second time-outs, an optional 12-second serve clock, and yellow and red cards with their penalty points. Results save to My results, work with tournament match codes and show on the live scoreboard.
  • Membership cards: clubs can print bank-card-sized membership cards with the club logo, the member's photo, member number and valid-until date, one at a time or up to 10 on an A4 sheet. Members can add their own photo in the member portal (officials approve it first), and a framing tool checks that it shows head and shoulders.

27 October 2026 – Video tutorials and table overlays for streaming

  • A new video tutorials page with all our step-by-step guides in one place: setting up a tournament, running it on the day, series rankings, club management and court booking. The new series rankings video is also on the series page.
  • Stream overlays can follow a tournament table: in the tournament manager, Share → Stream overlay for a court gives one address per court or table that shows the next match, its live score and the result, all day without changes in OBS. An overlay can also show a single match by its match code. See stream overlays.

26 October 2026 – Court and table booking for clubs

  • Clubs and venues can take court and table bookings online. Players see the free slots for the next days, book one or more slots back to back and pay by card straight into the club's own Yoco account, or pay at the venue if the club allows it.
  • Clubs set their own courts, opening hours and slot lengths, peak and off-peak prices, member prices and members-only courts, and block times for league nights, coaching or maintenance. A day sheet shows who is playing and who still has to pay, and officials can add walk-in and phone bookings.
  • Clubs in the club directory that take bookings show a Book a court button. Free for one court or table; see the pricing for more.
  • New video guides: court and table booking on the Clubs page, and running a tournament on the day (check-in, the order of play, results and the scoreboard) on the Tournaments page, next to the guide to setting one up.

25 October 2026 – Results archive, a clearer menu and your tournaments on every device

  • A results archive: tournaments move there from Upcoming events a week after their last day, listed by year and month, with the same sport filters. Tap one for its final placings, draws and logs.
  • The main menu is easier to find your way around. Information pages come first, then a green Find menu (upcoming events, results archive, series rankings and the club directory) and a blue Mine menu (your results, tournaments, clubs and account).
  • Log in on any phone, tablet or computer and your tournaments and series are listed there too, together with the tournaments you help to manage. Tournaments made before you logged in can be added to your account with one tap.
  • Tournaments can now have an end date for events over several days. They stay on Upcoming events until a week after the last day.
  • Organisers on a paid level can add a logo to their tournaments, series and clubs, and clubs can choose to appear in the new club directory, listed by sport.
  • The tournament manager page has a step-by-step video guide, and its sections fold open and closed so your own tournaments come first.

24 October 2026 – Upcoming events and a better public view

  • Upcoming events lists tournaments by sport, soonest first. Pick the sports you follow: your choice is kept on your device, and in your profile when you are logged in. Organisers list a tournament from its Settings, and free accounts can list up to 10.
  • On a tournament's public page, a list of all teams and players (grouped by tournament when several are shown together): tap a name to highlight all of its matches, or hide everyone else's. Tap any match to open its live scoreboard.
  • The order of play and the logs fold open and closed, with the logs open first.
  • A match clock on the live scoreboard for timed sports, scores with up to two decimals that add up correctly in the logs, your own group names in the World Cup format, and a choice of which columns the logs show.
  • Run again now also copies the tournament's Upcoming events listing and its log columns.

23 October 2026 – Score desks, wildcards, match times and a club management video

  • Score desks: give a helper a private link to capture results for one or more tournaments at once, laid out court by court like the order of play. A desk can be limited to one person's account.
  • Give matches a date and a start time, one by one or many at once, and they show on the order of play. List them in your own order of play or in round order.
  • Several tournaments shown together now share one combined order of play, and the TV scoreboard can combine them too: up to 12 courts per screen, groups in up to four columns, and large groups on their own screen.
  • World Cup format: choose wildcards (the system suggests the best next-placed entries) and change the knockout matchups yourself. Qualifiers can also go into a second round robin instead of straight into a knockout, with play-offs optional, and results between entries who already met can be carried over.
  • Rename courts and tables while you assign matches.
  • A 5½-minute video on the Clubs page shows a club being set up from start to finish: plans and prices, members and payments, renewals and receipts, check-in on a club night, the door screen and the member portal.

22 October 2026 – Co-managers and divisions at check-in

  • Invite helpers by email to manage a tournament with their own account: as a co-manager, or only for check-in and results. No manager link or PIN needed.
  • At check-in, tick players by seed and move them to a new division (for example a premier or a social division) or to another of your tournaments. Paid entry fees move with them.

21 October 2026 – Club membership software

  • Club management: membership plans, payments and receipts, a member portal, check-in at the door, reminders and reports, and tournament entry fees with member discounts. Free for up to 15 members.
  • Club teams with team codes: give a code to a league or tournament organiser and they enter your team, with its players, in one step.

20 October 2026 – Pickleball, and big moments on the scoreboard

  • Longer rules guides for rugby, darts, snooker, pool, touch rugby, korfball, ringball and jukskei: the calls that cause the most arguments, restarts, extra time, equipment and more.
  • The jukskei scorer now follows the official rule that pegs by both teams in a round cancel out one for one (you can switch this off for casual games), and the team that scored only pegs pitches first in the next round.
  • A pickleball scorer for doubles and singles: traditional side-out scoring with the "0-0-2" start and three-number call, or rally scoring to 15 or 21 (with an optional freeze). It shows the call, who serves and from which court, where everyone stands, timeouts and the change of ends.
  • The live scoreboard and stream overlays now flash the big moments: a try or a goal, cards in their colour, a 180 or game shot in darts, centuries in snooker, breaks of serve in tennis and padel, home runs in softball, sevens, fives and wickets in indoor cricket, and the winner at the end.

19 October 2026 – Archery and a new double-elimination format

  • An archery scorer: score sheets for up to four archers on a target (WA 720, indoor 18 m, field and 3D) with 10 and X counts, and head-to-head recurve set-system, compound, team and field matches with shoot-offs.
  • A new tournament format, double elimination to the semi-finals: the last two of the winners bracket meet the last two of the losers bracket in grand semi-finals (avoiding rematches where possible), then a final and a third-place match.

18 October 2026 – Badminton, series rankings page and imports

  • A badminton scorer for singles and doubles: rally scoring to 21, or the 15-point games that become the official system in January 2027. It shows who serves, from which court, and, in doubles, who stands where after every rally, plus intervals and change of ends.
  • A public Series page in the menu, where anyone can find and follow the rankings that series managers choose to show.
  • Tournaments now have a date, shown in the list of your tournaments and on the public pages, and a series uses it as the date played.
  • Results from PLAY Table Tennis (Challengers) can be imported into the tournament manager, with every match, the final places and each player's ID.

17 October 2026 – Live score overlays for OBS

Every scoring app now has a Stream to OBS button. It gives you an address to add to OBS Studio, Streamlabs or vMix as a browser source, and the live score appears on your stream as a score bug, a lower third or a big scoreboard. How to set it up.

17 October 2026 – Deeper rules guides and articles for organisers

The netball, squash, table tennis, padel, tennis and hockey guides now include a worked scoring example, the calls and rules that cause the most arguments, timing rules, a scorer's checklist and a glossary. Later the same day we did the same for rugby, touch rugby, korfball, ringball, lawn bowls, pool, snooker, darts, jukskei, volleyball, softball and indoor cricket, so every sport now has a full guide. The ringball scorer also gained yellow and red cards, with a 5-minute timer for a red card.

New articles for organisers: how to run a round robin, knockout seeding and byes, groups and knockouts, double elimination, and running a club series with ranking points.

14 October 2026 – Series rankings

Link tournaments into a series – a club season, a grand prix circuit or a weekly social – and players are ranked automatically by how they finish. Each tournament has a rating (the points for the winner), every place below earns 10% less by default, and shared places split their points. A series can count every result or only each player's best few, over a set season or a rolling period such as the last six months. Players are matched by a player ID, so the same person is never ranked twice, and anyone can tap a player to see all their results.

13 October 2026 – Courts, combined views and knockout changes

  • Courts and order of play: tell the tournament manager how many courts, tables or fields you have, put matches on them, and move matches up or down. Players see what is on each court now and next.
  • Several tournaments on one screen: running a senior and a junior event side by side? The public page can show both, with matches finished in the last minute marked and the next few coming up.
  • Change knockout matchups in any round, and see the bracket redraw without crossed lines.
  • Run again: start next week's tournament with the same settings and players in one step.
  • Plate competitions and play-offs for every place in World Cup-style events.

11 October 2026 – Tournament manager and softball

  • The free tournament manager: leagues (round robin), World Cup-style groups and knockouts, single knockout, double elimination and progressive knockout where every place is played off. Check players in as they arrive, seed them by ranking points, and give referees a match code so the score from the scoring app goes straight into the draw.
  • A softball scorer for South African school and club softball: innings, outs, runs per inning and a simple diamond.

8 October 2026 – Indoor cricket

The indoor cricket scorer handles the South African format: pairs batting for set overs, minus five for a dismissal, skins per partnership, player stats and a man-of-the-match calculation.

7 October 2026 – New site and 13 more sports

We rebuilt the site and added scorers for netball, padel, lawn bowls, tennis, squash, pool, jukskei, hockey, rugby, touch rugby, korfball, snooker and darts, next to the original table tennis and volleyball apps. Every app now saves finished matches in My results, can show a full-screen spectator scoreboard, and has a plain-language rules guide.
