Match clock with injury time

The clock counts up through two 40-minute halves — shorter formats are one setting away — and runs into stoppage time with a +2' indicator you control. Half-time and full-time phases are one tap.

Score from your phone: one tap for a try, conversion, penalty, or drop goal, each worth the correct points for your code, with an undo for corrections. Share the scorekeeper link with a club volunteer and every screen updates instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tries, conversions, penalty goals and drop goals for both teams, scored with the correct union point values, plus the match clock, half indicator, and stoppage time. It works pitch-side on a phone, on a clubhouse TV or LED panel, and as an OBS overlay for streamed matches.

This board uses union values: try 5, conversion 2, penalty 3, drop goal 3. Rugby League values tries at 4 and drop goals at 1, so it has its own board — see the rugby league scoreboard.

The clock counts up like the referee's watch: 0:00 to 40:00 in the first half, 40:00 to 80:00 in the second. At the end of a half it runs into stoppage time, with an indicator (+2') you control from the scorekeeper panel.

Yes — the half length is configurable in Setup, so shorter school, junior, or sevens-style games work by picking a shorter half. Dedicated sevens features (like standings across a tournament) are not included.

Yes — the rugby scoreboard is free to use, with no signup required. A paid plan unlocks extras like club branding, custom colours everywhere, and removing ads.

Coaches, parents running youth games, school PE teachers, club organisers, tournament directors, and streamers who broadcast amateur or club matches without a dedicated graphics package.

Yes — the controller link works on as many phones and laptops as needed simultaneously, so two officials, a coach plus assistant, or two team captains can share scoring duty. The viewer link stays in sync everywhere.

No — KeepTheScore runs in any modern browser on phones, laptops, smart TVs, and projectors. No download, no app, no account needed for a basic game.

Hardware scoreboards (expensive, fixed install), sport-specific stats apps, basic OBS text sources, and Google Sheets. KeepTheScore is the fastest free option when you specifically want a visible, shareable scoreboard and an OBS scorebug overlay.
