TeamCounter guides
Count a score online and show it on a second screen
The TeamCounter score counter manages points for teams or individual people and shows the current state through a reduced display on a second device. It suits game nights, training sessions and small competitions without a complex tournament plan.

Preparing the score
- Create a new score counter.
- Add the teams or people taking part.
- Check the starting values and the point steps you need.
- Set a test point and take it back again.
- Open the management device and the display device before you start.
The large display on a second device
Open the display link on a monitor, tablet or projector. The reduced view hides management functions and reloads the current state regularly, so short delays are possible. The management device stays with the person who is allowed to change points.
Example: game night with two teams
One person manages the points on a smartphone. The television shows only the large display. Other participants receive the view link when needed. After the game the winner can be marked and the score reset for the next round.
Keeping the score understandable
Use short, unambiguous team names and agree in advance which action is worth how many points. If several people want to count, decide who holds the management link. Do not distinguish teams by colour alone, so the score stays readable on any screen.
Limits of the score counter
TeamCounter does not create tournament brackets, does not calculate rankings across several games and keeps no audit-proof match record. For official competitions with binding results a specialised application is required.
