AirScoreboard
Public
Turns up in search and in Discover. Find it, follow it, and you're watching straight away — no request, no waiting. An organizer can choose to vet followers even here, but by default they don't.
For spectators
You don't have to play to be there.
Most people at a tournament aren't competing in it. Follow the event, watch the draw fill in live, and see how the people you came for are doing — in the same free app the players use, whether you ever enter one or not.
iPhone and Android · Free · No entry, no team, no sport of your own
What you can follow
Two things worth following.
They work differently, and they pay off differently. It's worth knowing which one you want.
Follow an event
The whole tournament, live.
Following an event puts it in your app alongside everything else you're watching. Nothing is hidden behind having entered it.
- It appears in My Events and in your Scores tab
- Live scores as the scorekeeper saves them — not on a refresh, as it happens
- The full draw round by round: single and double elimination brackets, group tables, race finish lists
- Final results and standings once it's decided
- Stop following whenever you like; it's your list
Follow a player
The one person you came for.
Following a person is what gets you told things. If you're at a venue for one player, this is the one to use.
- A notification when they register for an event
- A notification when they're on court and playing
- A notification when a result of theirs lands
- Their record and career results, across every event and sport
- A private profile approves its followers first, so a request may sit as pending
Getting in
Whether you can follow depends on the event.
Organizers choose how visible an event is, and that decides whether you can just start watching or have to be let in.
Private
Not in search. You need the link or the QR code the organizer shared. You can ask to follow with it, and by default that request goes to the organizer to approve — they can also turn that off and let holders of the link straight in.
Hidden
Not in search either, and the strictest of the three. The link or QR gets you as far as asking; the organizer always approves who actually follows, and that cannot be switched off.
What it costs
Nothing. There's no spectator plan.
Watching is free and always has been — there is nothing to buy, no trial and no limit on how many events you follow. The only person who ever pays for AirScoreboard is the organizer running the event.
You will need a free account, though. Scores, draws and results are only shown to people signed in, so a shared bracket link will ask you to sign in before it shows you anything.
