Board Game Score Pad & Turn Timer
Scores across rounds for any game, with ties ranked the way a tournament ranks them, plus a per-player turn timer. Nothing leaves the browser.

Standings
How the awkward cases are handled
- Ties are ranked the way a tournament ranks them. Two players level on second are both second and the next player is fourth, not third — telling that player they came third is not a rounding error when there is a prize attached.
- The lead changing hands is counted properly: a tie for the lead is not a change on its own, and the lead only moves when nobody who was leading still is. Counting who is top of the table each round gives a different and wrong number.
- Taking a round back restores the previous state exactly, totals and standings included, so the pad cannot drift away from the paper one it replaced.
- The turn timer banks exactly the interval each player used. If the clock jumps backwards — a phone waking up, a manual time change — nothing negative is ever banked, because a negative total is worse than a slightly short one.
- Nothing is uploaded. The game lives in this browser, so a refresh mid-game does not lose the scores, and closing the tab on a finished game is all the cleanup there is.
How to use
- Name your players and type scores straight into the grid.
- Add a round each time one finishes.
- Use the timer if you want to know who is taking all the time.
Frequently asked questions
How are ties ranked?
The way a tournament ranks them. Two players level on second are both second and the next player is FOURTH, not third. Dense ranking quietly tells that fourth player they came third, which stops being a rounding error the moment there is a prize attached.
How is a change of lead counted?
Only when the lead genuinely moves. Drawing level is not a change, and drawing level then falling back is not either — but a lead that passes THROUGH a tie does count, because the previous holder really did lose it. Comparing only against last round’s leaders misses that case entirely.
Does undo really restore everything?
Yes — totals, standings and the lead-change count. It is checked over hundreds of random games by adding a round, taking it back, and asserting the whole state matches what it was before, so the pad cannot drift away from the paper one it replaced.
What does the turn timer measure?
The time each player has actually held the turn, banked exactly at each handover, plus how many turns they have taken. Passing the turn to whoever already has it does not count as a new turn, and the running total counts the turn in progress while nobody else accrues.
What if my device clock jumps?
Nothing negative is ever banked. A phone waking from sleep or a manual time change can send the clock backwards, and a negative total would be far worse than a slightly short one, so the interval is floored at zero.
Can I score a game where the lowest score wins?
Yes — switch the winner setting and the whole table inverts, including the gap from the leader and which player is named best in each round. Golf, Hearts and anything else where you are trying not to score work exactly the same way.
Is my game saved if I refresh?
Yes, in this browser only. Nothing is uploaded anywhere, so a refresh mid-game does not lose the scores and closing the tab on a finished game is all the cleanup there is.
