A live scoreboard for teams, branches and reps

A scoreboard makes a target visible, and that changes how people work towards it. This page ranks teams or people by score, with a bar for each and a running total. Send a new score and the order shifts on every open screen, so it can run on the hall TV or the office wall.

When to use it

• A quiz night or school sports day needs scores everyone can see.
• Three branches are competing in a fundraising month.
• A sales team wants a friendly race to the end of the quarter.
• A gym or club is running a season-long challenge.

What a good one includes

• A short name for each team, which has to be readable from the back of a room.
• A target, if you want progress as well as rank.
• An end date that tells everyone when it finishes.
• A note per team for colour, like 'bake sale Saturday'.
• One line on what it's for, or what the prize is.

Make one by saying what you need

Text it, type it or say it, the way you'd tell a colleague:

Scoreboard for the Riverside Primary house points: Red 120, Blue 145, Green 98, Yellow 130, ends Friday.

Questions

How do I show it on a TV?

Open the page's link in the TV's browser, or from a laptop connected to it. It updates by itself once it's open.

Can it count points rather than money?

Yes. Set the unit to count, and it shows plain numbers.

Should I rank individual staff publicly?

Think first. Friendly team races usually land well, but naming low performers can do harm, and workplace rules may apply.
