What is Geilio Scoreboard?

Geilio Scoreboard is a real-time scoring app designed specifically for racket sports: badminton, table tennis, and pickleball. It turns your Apple Watch, iPhone, and iPad into a connected scoring system -- so you can track matches accurately without interrupting play.

The Problem with Keeping Score

If you play racket sports regularly, you know the struggle. You're mid-game, the score is close, and suddenly neither player can remember whose serve it is -- or whether it's 18-17 or 17-18. Paper scorecards get lost. Generic counter apps don't understand deuce rules or serve rotation. And pulling out your phone between every rally slows everything down.

Geilio Scoreboard fixes all of this.

Who Is Geilio Scoreboard For?

  • Casual players who want a quick, reliable way to keep score during pickup games
  • Club players who play regularly and want to track their match history and results over time
  • Referees and umpires who need an accurate, visible scoreboard for officiated matches
  • Coaches who want to review match statistics and scoring patterns with their players
  • Tournament organizers who need a spectator-facing display without expensive hardware

Whether you're playing doubles at a community center or refereeing a club tournament, Geilio Scoreboard adapts to how you play.

What Makes Geilio Scoreboard Different

Unlike generic tally counters or basic scorekeeping apps, Geilio Scoreboard is built around the actual rules of racket sports:

  • Automatic deuce handling -- Geilio Scoreboard knows when a game reaches deuce and applies the correct rules for each sport (e.g., win by 2, or cap at 30 in badminton).
  • Serve tracking -- It tracks whose serve it is and rotates correctly based on the sport's rules, including doubles serve order.
  • Side-out scoring -- For sports like pickleball where only the serving side can score, Geilio Scoreboard handles this automatically.
  • Multi-game matches -- Play a single deciding game, or set up best-of-3, best-of-5, or best-of-7 matches with game-by-game tracking.

You don't have to configure any of this. Just choose your sport and start playing.

How the Multi-Device System Works

Geilio Scoreboard connects your Apple devices so each one plays a role:

  1. Apple Watch -- Your input device. Tap to score points, undo mistakes, and control the match without reaching for your phone. Your Watch stays on your wrist, ready between rallies.
  2. iPhone -- Your personal scoreboard and control center. Start matches, adjust settings, view match history, and see live scores. Works on its own or paired with a Watch.
  3. iPad -- Your spectator display. Connect an iPad over your local network and it becomes a large-format scoreboard. Mount it courtside or project it for an audience.

Scores sync in a single direction: score a point on your Watch and it appears on the iPhone instantly, then on any connected iPad in real time. The iPhone and iPad act as displays -- they don't write scores back to the Watch.
