Basketball Scorebook

Description

Basketball Scorebook is a lightweight, single-page application that runs directly within your WordPress site via a shortcode. It allows you to record basketball games digitally with the precision of a professional table official.

Unlike traditional paper scorebooks, this “RecordedScorebook” automatically tracks the timestamps of major events (scores, fouls, timeouts), giving you a complete timeline of the game.

Key Features:

  • Real‑time Scoring: Input 2P, 3P, and FT. Player stats are auto-calculated.
  • Timestamped Events: Every foul and timeout is recorded with the exact game time.
  • Running Score: Visual running score (1–160 pts) tracking with time and player number.
  • Print Ready: Designed to print perfectly on A4 landscape paper or save as PDF via the browser.
  • Data Persistence and Backup: Auto-saves to browser LocalStorage, so your data won’t be lost even if the page is accidentally refreshed. However, to protect against browser cache clearing or device failure, we strongly recommend exporting to JSON for important games.
  • JSON Import/Export: Save match data as JSON files for backup, sharing, or templates.
  • No Database Bloat: All data is handled client-side (Alpine.js). It does not clutter your WordPress database.

Usage:

Simply add the shortcode [basketball_scorebook] to any page or post.
For the best experience, we recommend using a “Full-Width” page template to maximize the workspace.

FAQ

Does this plugin work without an internet connection?

Yes, once the page is loaded. All calculations are done in the browser using JavaScript (Alpine.js).

Can my data be lost?

Your data won’t be lost during normal use. However, if you clear your browser’s browsing history (cache), LocalStorage data will also be deleted. As the safest approach, we recommend exporting to JSON at halftime or after the game ends.

Can I save the scorebook as PDF?

Yes. Select “Print/PDF”. The layout is optimized for A4 landscape.

Is my data saved automatically?

Yes. The scorebook auto-saves to your browser’s LocalStorage every time you make a change.
