Designed to be read from ten metres
Sizes are expressed as a fraction of screen height, never in fixed pixels, so the table fills an old 32-inch set and a hall projector alike. Density adapts to the number of teams instead of shrinking the type.
Show a live scoreboard on any TV or projector
No app to install on the television, no box to buy, no pairing. The display is a self-contained web page opened with a four-character address, and it updates itself while you count the points.
No card needed. Players install nothing.
Three ways to get the standings onto a screen
The TV browser
Most connected televisions have one. Type the address shown in your host app and leave the page open: it asks the screen to stay awake while a game is running.
A set-top box, streaming stick or console
Anything on HDMI that can open a web page will do. It is often the quickest route on an older television whose built-in browser is too slow.
A laptop on HDMI
The most reliable method, and the only truly universal one with a projector. Open the page, go full screen, and put the laptop behind the screen — you will not touch it again all evening.
What matters on a real screen
Figures that keep the columns still
Every score uses tabular figures. When a total goes from 9 to 10, nothing shifts around it — which is what lets a room read the standings at a glance instead of re-reading them.
An adjustable safe margin
Many televisions crop the edges of the picture. The display ships with a default margin you can change from the keyboard if your hardware still cuts something off, and the setting is remembered for next time.
The connection degrades instead of failing
The screen tries a real-time connection first, then an event stream, then plain periodic refreshing. TV browsers that refuse WebSockets still show up-to-date standings, a few seconds behind at worst.
An outage never produces an error page
If the network drops, the last standings received stay on screen with a discreet note at the top. Nobody should have to look at a blank page in front of two hundred people while the Wi-Fi comes back.
Two modes, depending on the moment
Board mode shows the full standings; ambient mode shows a neutral screen with a logo and flags each score with a brief notification. The second is for service time or between rounds, when a frozen table adds nothing.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to install an app on the television?
No. The display is a web page opened with a short address. Nothing to download, nothing to update, and nothing to reinstall if you change television.
Does it work with Chromecast or AirPlay?
It is not a cast: we use neither the Chromecast protocol nor AirPlay. You can cast a browser tab from a computer, or simply open the page on a device already plugged into the TV, which is more stable.
My television is ten years old — will it cope?
That is exactly the target. The display is compiled for old browsers and its weight is deliberately capped. If the built-in browser is still too slow, the usual fallback is a laptop on HDMI.
Will the screen go to sleep?
The page asks the browser to keep the screen awake while a game is live. Some televisions ignore that request; if yours does, turn standby off in its settings as you would for a slideshow.
Can spectators change the scores from this page?
No. The display is strictly read-only and asks for no account. Only the authenticated host and any co-hosts can award points.
Put it on a screen and judge it in one round
Create a test game, open the address on your TV and award three points. That is the only honest way to assess a display.
