Entering your score

Your organizer sends you a personal link. Open it on your phone. You don't need an account or an app. What you see depends on where the session is when you arrive.

On a Nonstop Courts night there are no rounds, and the page works a little differently: see Playing on a Nonstop night.

Before the organizer has mixed: the waiting screen

When you open the link before the organizer has started, you land on a waiting screen. It checks with the server every 5 seconds. The moment the organizer publishes a round, your browser goes straight to your court card by itself.

A timestamp on the screen ("Checking every 5 seconds — last check 3:14:27 PM") confirms the page is working even when nothing is happening. Network hiccups retry silently. The checking pauses if your phone locks or you switch apps, and picks right back up when you return.

Your court card

The card shows your court only: the two teams, each player's name, and the target score if your organizer set one.

If you're sitting out this round, the card says so. No score form appears.

"No score entry for this session. Nothing to enter here."

Some organizers use this page just to show you your court each round, without collecting scores. In that case the steppers and submit button don't appear. Instead you'll see the note "No score entry for this session. Nothing to enter here." Your court and teams still show as normal. If the organizer switches score collection on mid-session, the score form appears on its own within a few seconds, with no refresh needed (and the same in reverse).

Entering the score

Each team has a − and + button. Tap them to step the score up or down. The minimum is 0 and the maximum is 99. When both scores look right, tap Submit score.

If the other team has already sent their score, the steppers show it and the button reads Confirm score; one tap confirms it. If your numbers are different, change them first; the two teams' scores then show as disputed.

If you accidentally tap Submit with both scores at 0, a confirmation dialog asks if you mean it. A 0–0 result can happen (timed out, no games played), so it's allowed; the extra step catches stray taps.

After you submit, a note says "Your score was sent. You can update it if needed." The button changes to Update score so corrections are still possible.

What happens after you submit

Your score shows as pending until the other team confirms it. You'll see:

Badge	What it means
⏳ Waiting for the other team to confirm	You submitted; waiting on the other team.
⏳ Waiting for you to confirm	The other team submitted first; your turn. Tap Confirm score.
✅ Score confirmed	Both teams agreed. The score is locked.
⚠️ Score disputed — please correct the score	The two teams submitted different scores.

When confirmed, the steppers are disabled and the submit button is replaced with a "Score finalized" message. The score is final.

If there's a dispute, re-enter the agreed score and submit again. If both sides re-submit the same number, it confirms on its own. The organizer can also step in and set it.

For the full story on how confirmations work, see Confirmations.

"Your score wasn't used"

If the organizer locked the score from a big screen at the venue and it differs from what you submitted, you'll see a notice:

Your score wasn't used You submitted X–Y, but the court was recorded at A–B. Please see the organizer if you disagree.

It means the organizer (or the venue kiosk) entered the final score directly. The score shown is the one that counts. Talk to your organizer if you think it's wrong.

The session status bar

A bar at the top shows the session name, current round, and a status pill:

Status	What it means
Active	Session is running normally.
Paused	Organizer stepped away. Keep the link open; it'll update when they resume.
Auto-rotating	The server is running rounds automatically (headless mode).
Ended	Session is over. The page stops checking for updates.

The page updates itself for all of these.

View full round

Below your court card, tap View full round to expand a panel with every court in the current round: pairings, submitted scores, and each court's status. Courts carried forward from an earlier incomplete round are labeled "Round N carry-over."

At the bottom of the panel, a link goes to your group's public standings so you can check ratings mid-session. The standings page opens with a Back to scoring bar at the top for a one-tap return.

The panel remembers whether it was open, so it stays open after you submit.

Push notifications

The Enable Notifications bell in the footer subscribes you to web push so a new-round alert reaches you without the tab staying open. The button only appears if your device and browser support web push.

View and share live standings

If your group has a public standings page, a Live standings bar sits at the bottom of the page with two actions:

• View standings opens your group's public standings with a Back to scoring banner at the top, so you're one tap from returning to your court.
• Share opens your phone's share sheet with a pre-filled message and the standings link, so you can show a friend the live results mid-session. The shared link is always the plain public one; it never carries your personal score link.

Stale-tab message

If the organizer moves to the next round while your tab is still on the previous round, you'll see a message when you try to submit:

• "Score session has refreshed — pulling the latest round...": the page fetches the current round automatically. Wait a moment, then submit.
• "Score session has advanced — please refresh and try again.": your tab's round is no longer current. Refresh the page; the current round loads and you can submit normally.

Either way, nothing is lost and no score lands on the wrong round.
