# Free Online Basketball Scoreboard : No Signup, No Download
Keeping score in basketball should be simple. A free throw is +1. A field goal is +2. A three-pointer is +3. This scoreboard gives you a dedicated button for each value so you can tap and keep playing. No menus, no modes, no configuration. Just name your teams and start scoring. The score is saved in your browser automatically, so you can reload the page, close your phone, or come back later without losing the game.# Why a Dedicated Basketball Scorekeeper Beats a Generic Counter
Most scoreboard apps force you to tap the same button multiple times to add two or three points. That extra tap adds up over a 40-minute game and increases the chance of losing count during a fast break or a quick substitution. This scoreboard has three separate buttons : one for each scoring value : so you tap exactly once per scoring play. The +3 button lights up in red and triggers an explosive animation to match the excitement of a three-pointer going in.Pickup & Streetball

# How Basketball Scoring Works
Basketball has three scoring values. A free throw is worth 1 point and is taken from the free-throw line after a foul. A field goal is worth 2 points and counts for any basket made from inside the three-point arc during normal play. A three-point field goal is worth 3 points for shots taken from beyond the arc, marked by the three-point line. Most professional and college games use all three values. Street basketball often uses only 1s and 2s, or just 1s. This scoreboard adapts to any format.# Play Any Format: Win by Score, Win by Time, or First to Target
Basketball does not have a fixed scoring limit : the game ends when the clock runs out. But pickup basketball often uses target scores like first to 16, 21, or 11 (win by 2). This scoreboard does not enforce a win condition because basketball does not end on a score. You decide when the game is over, and the reset button clears the board for the next game. The team names are preserved so you can play consecutive games without retyping.# What Makes This Scoreboard Different
- Three dedicated buttons : +1, +2, and +3. No cycling through values, no long press, no extra taps.
- Editable team names : tap the name to change it. Names are saved in your browser and persist across page reloads.
- Screen wake lock : when you go fullscreen, the scoreboard prevents your phone screen from turning off. No more tapping the screen just to keep it alive.
- Fullscreen mode : hides browser tabs and address bar so the scoreboard takes the entire screen. Tap the fullscreen button once and the tool expands.
- Offline first : the entire scoreboard works without an internet connection after the first load. No ads, no trackers, no data collection.
- Satisfying feedback : each tap triggers a score animation, floating particles, and a subtle vibration on supported devices. The +3 gets an extra explosion effect.
- Game state is saved : reload the page, close the browser, or come back tomorrow. The scores and team names are stored locally.
