Scoreboard
A Scoreboard is designed to display and update scores during a game, match, or event.
Use it when you need a clear, flexible display for one or more players or teams and want to keep the score visible in real time.

- Games and matches
- School and classroom activities
- Team competitions
- Events and challenges
- Live score displays
- Custom scoring situations
Why use a Scoreboard?
ScoreLeader scoreboards are flexible and customizable. You can update scores from your browser and share the live results with spectators or participants.
Scoresheet
A Scoresheet is designed for activities where scores need to be tracked across multiple rounds, matches, stages, or categories.
Instead of displaying only the current score, a scoresheet gives you a structured view of how each participant or team performs over time.
Best for
- Multi-round competitions
- Tournaments
- Quizzes and trivia
- Judging and evaluations
- Team-building activities
- Sales and performance challenges
Why use a Scoresheet?
Create columns for rounds, categories, criteria, bonus points, or other metrics. Scores can be updated as the activity progresses, while participants and spectators can follow the results through a shared link.
Leaderboard
A Leaderboard ranks players, teams, or participants according to their scores.
Use it when the main goal is to answer one question: Who is currently ahead?
Best for
- Competitions
- Contests
- Classroom activities
- Sales challenges
- Team rankings
- Games and challenges
Why use a Leaderboard?
ScoreLeader automatically ranks participants according to their scores and sorting settings. Rankings update as scores change, making it easy for everyone to see the latest standings.
You can share the leaderboard with a public link or QR code, display it on a large screen, or embed it on a website.
Sports Scoreboard
A Sports Scoreboard is designed specifically for live head-to-head sports matches.
It combines scorekeeping with information such as game time, periods, fouls, timeouts, and other sport-specific details.
Best for
- Basketball
- Football and soccer
- Baseball
- Hockey
- Volleyball

- And other sports
Why use a Sports Scoreboard?
Use a sports scoreboard when you need more than a simple score. ScoreLeader provides a live display designed for matches, with customizable layouts and support for fullscreen displays and live-stream overlays.
You can display the scoreboard on a TV, projector, or other screen, or use it as an overlay for live streaming.
Counter
A Counter is the simplest way to keep track of a number.
Use it when you don’t need rankings, rounds, or a traditional scoreboard — you simply need to increase or decrease one or more values.
Best for
- Counting points
- Tallying votes
- Tracking repetitions
- Keeping event counts
- Simple games
- Multiple counters
Why use a Counter?
ScoreLeader lets you create simple or multiple counters and update them directly from your browser. You can also share the live count with others.
Tournament Bracket
A Tournament Bracket organizes participants into head-to-head matchups and tracks their progress through successive rounds.
Use it when competitors are eliminated as they lose and winners advance toward a final match.
Best for
- Sports tournaments
- Esports
- Gaming competitions
- School competitions
- Office tournaments
- Local contests
Why use a Tournament Bracket?
Add your players or teams and let ScoreLeader organize the matchups into a structured bracket. Enter the result of each match and follow the tournament as winners advance through the rounds.
ScoreLeader currently supports single-elimination brackets. Double-elimination and Round Robin formats are planned for the future.
