Scores and rules
Tap a team panel to add points or goals; swipe down to subtract them. Press and hold the panel to open its team menu. In Settings, you can choose free play, Bundesliga or billiards mode, edit teams and colours, and set the game rules. The app supports German and English.
Billiards matchdays · from build 5
Six singles are grouped into two collapsible rounds: 14.1, 8-ball and 9-ball in the first round; 8-ball, 9-ball and 10-ball in the return round. Default targets are 50 points, 4, 6 and 5 racks respectively. Each completed win earns one team point; a 3:3 draw is possible.
Enter players separately for each match, including the return lineup later. Tap a score to add a point; use minus or the correction menu to adjust it. Negative 14.1 scores are supported; innings and fouls are not recorded. Settings let you change team colours and targets per discipline, keep the screen awake, hide hints and reset scores while keeping the lineup. Higher targets can reopen a completed match; targets below existing scores are rejected.
The same spectator link shows the team score and all six singles, player names, disciplines and targets. Viewers can collapse each round. Build 5 does not include a connection to Pool Billiards Scorer.
Timer and timeouts
Control the timer and timeouts on the scoreboard. In Bundesliga mode, you can set each team's timeout allowance and timeout duration. The current test build has no audible end signal; expiry is shown on screen. “Restart game” resets the current game but keeps the rules. “Default settings” also resets teams and rules. Labels follow the language chosen in the app.
DTFB matches and lineups
In Settings, choose a DTFB match to import the home and away teams, squad lists and available competition, date and table information. The recognized Bundesliga Race to 42 format sets a target of 42 and a draw at 41:41. From build 5, the import preview lets you keep the app score with an explicit home/away assignment, or use an available supported website score. Adopting the website score starts a new local game and resets timeouts. Imported pairing totals are retained without inventing a goal sequence; check the rules and preview before confirming.
Lineups are imported only once the match has started in SportsManager and the full lineup is available. An upcoming match or incomplete lineup can still be selected. Use the separate lineup update action later: scores, timeouts and rules are preserved, and an incomplete response does not replace an existing lineup. The current pairing appears on the scoreboard; the jersey icon opens the full lineup.
Use “Remove match” to clear the selected encounter, squad lists and lineups without resetting the app. Team names, scores and rules stay in place. The app reads DTFB data; it does not submit scores or lineups to SportsManager.
Optional live ticker
Local scoring works without an account or internet connection. Under Settings → Live ticker, an authorized device can be paired with a short-lived code. Only when you explicitly start a broadcast does the app send game data to scoreboard-pro.danielsorger.de. Anyone with the shared link or QR code can see scores, team names, game progress and available player names and lineups; use nicknames and share the link deliberately. Local changes remain saved during connection problems and are retried later. You can hand off control to another authorized team device.
End, resume and delete
“My games” also shows ended broadcasts. You can resume an ended game with the same spectator link or, as an authorized owner, delete it from the server. Server deletion requires confirmation. A local archive can be exported or deleted; deleting it does not remove a server copy. Ending a local live session archives local data without deleting the server game. Device backups may contain local app data. See the Scoreboard Pro privacy policy for details.
Availability
The current iPhone and iPad beta is available via TestFlight. Version 0.1.0 (build 5) is available for public testing, including billiards matchdays and the improved live ticker. TestFlight is an Apple service; following the link opens Apple’s website. This is a beta, not a public App Store release.
