Canonical: https://simplestandings.com/pickleball/scorekeeper

A live score keeper that runs in the browser: tap who won each rally, end or visit and it keeps the score, undo included. Free, no account needed. When the game is over, save it to a league and its standings update.

## How it keeps score

- Side-out scoring: only the serving team scores. Tap the team that won the rally and the keeper works out the point, the server number and the side-out.
- Doubles starts at 0-0-2: the first serving team gets one server, then every side-out gets two.
- The score is called the way you say it: server’s score, receiver’s score, server number.
- Games to 11, 15 or 21, win by 2. Play one game or a best of 3 or 5; the team that served first receives first in the next game.
- Rally scoring is an option: every rally scores and the rally winner serves next.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why does a pickleball game start at 0-0-2?

In doubles, the team that serves first only gets one server on its first turn, so that server is called number 2. After the first side-out, each team gets two servers per turn. The keeper starts every game on server 2 for this reason.

### Does it do rally scoring?

Yes. Switch Scoring to Rally in the settings and every rally scores a point, with the rally winner serving next. Pick 21 as the target for the usual rally-scoring game.

### Can I save a pickleball score to my league standings?

Yes. When the game is over, tap Save to your league. Pick one of your leagues and the scheduled game, or two of its teams, and the standings update straight away — wins, losses and the score columns your league counts. No account yet? Sign up free and you come straight back to the finished game to save it.

### Do I need an account or an app?

No. The score keeper runs in your phone’s browser and is free with no sign-up. The game is kept on your phone as you go, so a dropped signal or a closed tab does not lose it. An account is only needed to save the final score to a league.
