Leaderboard Maker
Rank people or teams by any number you track. The board re-sorts itself the moment a score changes, and everyone holding the link sees the new order at the same time.
Add participants yourself, or share a signup link and let them claim their own row.
Best for: Sales teams · Classrooms · Competitions · Employee challenges
Create a Leaderboard
Bracket Maker
Seed your entrants, score each match, and winners advance through the bracket on their own. No redrawing the sheet between rounds.
The whole draw lives at one link, so competitors can follow their side of it without you posting updates after every game.
Best for: Sports tournaments · Esports · Office pools · Game nights
Create a Bracket
Scoresheet Maker
Score round by round instead of one running number, with a column per round and totals that add themselves up as you go.
The grid stays readable as rounds pile up, and the standings re-sort the moment a cell changes.
Best for: Card and board games · Bowling and darts · Golf · Judged contests
Create a Scoresheet
Scoreboard Maker
Keep the score visible while the game is actually being played, with a clock, periods, and digits that read from the back of the room.
Head-to-head and multi-team both work, and the same link doubles as an OBS browser source if you stream.
Best for: Games and matches · Tournaments · Trivia nights · Multi-team events
Create a Scoreboard
Goal Tracker
Set a target, update the running total, and let a progress bar do the motivating. Track one shared goal for the group or give each person their own.
Progress updates live, so a single link keeps everyone honest about where things actually stand.
Best for: Fitness challenges · Reading logs · Quotas and OKRs · Team targets

Competition BoardsFrequently Asked Questions
Yes. Open the Create page, name your board, and you have a working leaderboard with a shareable link — no signup, no credit card, no email. The board is real: you can add participants, update scores, and send the link to anyone. When you want it tied to an account so it shows up in a dashboard and cannot be lost, claim it with an email at any point. Nothing you built gets thrown away when you claim.
Pick by what you are tracking, not by what you are running. A leaderboard ranks people or teams by one number. A scoreboard shows a game in progress with a clock and periods. A goal tracker or fundraising thermometer shows progress toward a target. A scoresheet scores round by round with a column per round. A bracket runs an elimination tournament. You can change most settings later, so an early wrong guess is cheap.
Turn on self-registration in board settings and MakeTheBoard gives you a signup link plus a short join code people can enter at maketheboard.com/join. Each person registers once and gets their own row. If you also turn on self-scoring, they can update that row from their phone and everyone watching sees it immediately. One account can register several participants, which is how parents sign up more than one child. You stay in control: any row can be edited, locked, or reset by the owner.
No. MakeTheBoard sells one-time passes precisely because most boards exist for a tournament weekend, a fundraiser, or a single semester. You pay once, run the event with the higher participant limits and paid features, and nothing renews on you afterwards. Subscriptions are there for the people who genuinely run boards year-round, not as the only way in. Compare both on the pricing page.
Open the board’s public link in any browser on the screen and full-screen it. The layout scales up, the type stays legible from across a room, and tabular-num digits keep scores from jittering as totals climb. There is a font-scale control if you want the rows bigger still. For livestreams, the same URL works as an OBS Browser Source, so the overlay updates itself without you switching scenes. See the TV display guide for the full setup.
No. Every board has a public link that anyone can open on any device without signing in, installing anything, or being invited. You can also embed the board in a website, blog post, WordPress page, GoFundMe campaign, or LMS with a snippet of HTML, and the embedded copy updates in real time exactly like the link does. If you would rather a board not be public, you can turn public access off.
Two boards with up to 15 participants each, real-time updates, the public link, embedding, and TV display — with no credit card and no time limit. The free plan is the whole product at a smaller scale, not a crippled demo. The limits you eventually hit are participant count and board count, which is when a one-time pass or a subscription starts to make sense.
