Your Competition Scoring Software.
Branded As Your Own.

How much does GamesTally Score cost?

USD 4,000, paid once. That is launch pricing; it normally sits at USD 5,000.

There is no per-event fee, no per-participant fee and no annual licence. Run four events next year or forty, the number is the same.

Can we use different scoring methods in the same event?

Yes. Points, timing, quantity, ranking, win-loss-draw and bonus or penalty can all run inside the same event and still resolve to one overall table.

Most events use at least three. A tug of war scored on finishing position and a station scored on raw points belong on the same leaderboard, and you should not have to redesign a game because the software can only count one way.

Can facilitators enter scores from their phones?

Yes, from any phone browser. There is nothing to install at the venue.

That matters more than it sounds. Your facilitators are moving between stations, and half of them may be part-timers who arrived at seven that morning.

Can we put our client's branding on the leaderboard?

Yes. Your branding by default, or your client's event branding when it is their event.

That is the whole reason for buying a system rather than renting someone else's. A client should not be looking at a third party's logo on the screen you put in front of them.

What happens if someone enters the wrong score?

Correct it. The standings recalculate immediately, and there is a record of what changed.

The record is the part that matters. When a team asks why they dropped a place, you can answer instead of guessing.

What if the number of teams changes on the morning?

Change the number. Brackets regenerate and standings recalculate around it.

You were told fifty teams and forty-seven turned up. That is a normal event day, not an incident, and it should not require rebuilding a spreadsheet in a hotel lobby.

Do you charge per event or per participant?

Neither. It is a one-off licence.

Per-event and per-head pricing punishes you for being busy: your best year costs you the most. We would rather sell you the system once and have you use it until it stops being useful.

How long does setup take?

Express setup is one week. A standard build runs to a schedule agreed with you at scoping, because it depends on how many scoring formats you use and how much branding work is involved.

Either way it includes your branding, your scoring formats and a run-through before your first live event. We are not handing you a login and wishing you luck.

Do we need internet at the venue?

Yes. Scores move between phones and the leaderboard over the internet, so the venue needs working connectivity.

Venue connectivity is a real operational risk and we treat it as a design consideration rather than an assumption. We will not promise full offline operation unless it has genuinely been developed for your system, that's a scoping conversation, not a marketing claim.

Can we bring our existing Excel scoring sheet?

Yes, you can bring your Excel sheet. It is usually the fastest way to show us how your event actually works.

Years of accumulated rules are sitting in those formulas, and most of them are there for a reason someone learned the hard way.

What happens if two teams tie?

They share the position. The system does not break ties for you, because the right tie-break is a decision about your event rather than a default we should pick.

Agree it before the day and apply it. Deciding a tie-break once you know who it benefits is the fastest way to lose a room.

Can two people enter scores at the same time?

Different games, yes. The same game at the same moment, no.

On tournament match scoring, the second save is stopped, that person gets an error, and the match reloads showing the result that was saved first. They re-enter theirs on top. It is deliberate, and we would rather cost someone thirty seconds than quietly overwrite a score.

On the other scoring modes that check is being added and is not in place yet, so two people saving the same game at the same moment behave as they would in a shared file. Worth knowing before you plan who keys what.

How do penalties work on a timed game?

Enter the adjusted time. A team running 84 seconds with two ten-second penalties goes in as 104.

Penalties have to affect the ranking, not just the points, or a close finish comes out wrong. Ranking is relative to the field; a flat points deduction is not.

Can participants submit their own scores?

No. Participants can watch the leaderboard; they cannot enter results.

Scores come from your facilitators, and every entry carries the name of the person who made it.
