Getting Started with Scored
Set up the Scored platform at your venue — from creating your account to installing the apps and running your first league.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, make sure you have:
- A computer or tablet with a modern web browser to access the dashboard at scored.app
- A Windows or macOS device at each court for the Scoring App
- A Windows or macOS device at your front desk or kiosk area for the POS App
- A Stripe account (or the ability to create one) to process payments
- A local network at your venue that all devices can connect to
Step 1: Create Your Account
Go to scored.app and click Sign Up. You can create an account with your email address and a password, or sign in with Google. Enter your venue name and contact details during onboarding. Once confirmed, you'll be taken directly to your Scored dashboard.
Step 2: Configure Your Venue Profile
After signing in, navigate to Settings and complete your venue profile. Add your venue name, logo, address, and the courts or spaces available. This information appears on your public landing page at your venue's subdomain on scored.app.
Step 3: Connect Stripe
Scored uses Stripe Connect to process all payments directly into your venue's own Stripe account. Go to Settings > Stripe Connect and click Connect Stripe. You'll be redirected to Stripe to create a new account or link an existing one. Complete the Stripe onboarding — this is required before you can accept any payments through Scored.
Step 4: Install the Scoring App
The Scored Scoring App is a desktop application that runs on Windows or macOS. Download it from Settings > Apps in the dashboard. Install it on each court-side scoring device. When you open the app, sign in with your venue credentials and select your court. The Scoring App connects to Scored to sync live fixtures and scores in real time. It also supports a Screen Mode for displaying the scoreboard on an external monitor or TV.
Step 5: Install the POS App
The Scored POS App is a separate desktop application for your front desk or self-service kiosk. Download it from Settings > Apps. Install it on your kiosk or reception device. Staff sign in with their PIN — managers are taken to the admin control panel and staff are taken directly to the sales terminal. The terminal has two tabs: Products (for selling items) and Fixtures (for collecting game and season payments). Payment methods include cash, EFTPOS, and split payments.
Step 6: Create Your First League
With everything installed and configured, you're ready to create your first league. Navigate to Leagues in the dashboard sidebar and click Menu > Create League. Choose a sport (Cricket, Netball, Volleyball, Basketball, Football, Badminton, or Pickleball), set dates, configure fees, and add teams. Head to the Quick Setup guide for a complete walkthrough of your first league.
