Built for how societies actually play
Not a cut-down version of professional software. Every screen is made for a Sunday tennis-ball tournament with your own house rules.
Live, ball by ball
The organiser scores from one phone with big one-thumb buttons. Everyone else sees the score, the commentary and the scorecard update within seconds, even through patchy Wi-Fi: no ball is ever lost.
Points table & NRR
Standings, net run rate and qualifiers update the moment a match ends.
Stats & awards
Batting, bowling and fielding leaders, Player of the Match and season awards, all worked out for you.
Your rules
Power over, last man stands, retire at 30, "roof is six", "flat window is out". Set it once; the scorer follows it.
Player auction
Players sign up on a link. Run a live auction on the TV with purses and bids; squads fill themselves.
Made for WhatsApp
One-tap result cards, points-table pictures, Player of the Match and reminders, ready to forward to the society group. Every share brings more people in.
Fantasy league
Optional. Pick 10, choose a captain, climb the leaderboard. Free to play, no money involved.
Live streaming
Paste a YouTube live link: viewers watch the match with the live score underneath, plus a broadcast score strip for the video.
Full scorecards
Batting, bowling, fielding and every ball's commentary, kept for every match.
Every season
Your teams, rules and history stay. Next year's tournament takes minutes.

Live in four steps
Create
Name, colours, teams and your rules in a 7-step wizard. Paste squads straight from Excel, or let players register and auction them.
Share
One link goes to the society WhatsApp group. Players follow along, and fantasy players pick teams with just a name and a 4-digit PIN.
Score
At the toss, the scorer opens the live scorer on a phone. Big buttons, undo, free hits, wides: it knows the game.
Celebrate
Results, Player of the Match, points table and awards appear instantly, with picture cards ready to share.

Live tournaments
Good to know
What does it cost?
Creating and running a tournament is free during launch. New tournaments go live once they've been checked, usually within a day.
Do players need to download an app or sign up?
No. Everything opens from a link in any phone browser. Fantasy players choose a name and a 4-digit PIN; everyone else just opens the link.
Can we use our own society rules?
Yes, that's the point. Overs, balls per over, players a side, wides and no-balls, free hits, byes, last man stands, retirement, power overs, Super Overs and any special events like "roof is six" or "flat window is out".
Is the fantasy league real-money?
No. Fantasy is free to play, for bragging rights. It's also optional: run scoring only, or let each viewer switch fantasy off.
What if the scorer's internet drops?
The scorer keeps every ball on the phone and sends them as soon as the connection is back. Nothing is lost.
Can we stream the matches?
Yes. Go live on YouTube from any channel, paste the link, and viewers watch inside HomeGround with the live score underneath. A score overlay is available for streaming apps.
Who can see our data?
Scores, squads and fantasy picks are public on your tournament link. Phone numbers from player registration are visible only to the organiser.
