ScoreToss: Outdoor games

A score keeper for outdoor games, built to be read at a glance from the other end of the boards.

Two big numbers, each in its team's colour, and a row of ticks showing how close you are to the target. Nothing else competes for attention while you play.

TWO GAMES
Cornhole and Breton palet, singles or doubles. Pick one on the home screen — everything after that works the same way, frames, tournaments and records included.

CORNHOLE
Tap the bags — in the hole for 3, on the board for 1 — and ScoreToss works out the cancellation for you. It shows what the frame is worth before you confirm it, so nobody has to do arithmetic between throws. Play to 11, 15 or 21.

BRETON PALET
On the board, with brass palets. Only the team closest to the master scores, one point per palet better placed than the opponent's best. One stepper per team, because only one team ever scores. A game runs to 12, the decider to 15.

Placing the master counts too: three attempts to land it on the board, then the throw passes to the other team, and whoever lands it throws first. A discreet line says whose turn it is, with one tap to hand it over.

GOT IT WRONG? FIX IT
Any frame can be corrected or deleted after the fact, however far back it is. The whole game is recalculated from the history, so a miscount in frame three is a five-second fix, not an argument.

TOURNAMENTS
Enter 2 to 16 teams, name them, give them a colour, and the bracket builds itself with byes for the top seeds. The tree stays there to consult, the next match is always one tap away, and results climb the bracket on their own. Each game keeps its own bracket, so the two never get in each other's way.

WHO'S ACTUALLY WINNING
Finished games are kept, so the app can answer the only question that really matters between two barbecues: head-to-head records, wins and losses, and your recent games. Each game keeps its own — a cornhole win and a palet win are not the same thing.

SMALL THINGS THAT HELP
- A coin toss decides who throws first
- The screen stays awake while you play
- A short buzz confirms each tap
- Light and dark, following your phone or set by hand
- English, French and Spanish
- Export a backup before switching phones
- Share the final score or the bracket

NO ADS, NO ACCOUNT, NO INTERNET
ScoreToss collects nothing. There is no sign-up, no server and no tracking. Your games, tournaments and records are stored on your phone and never leave it. The app works entirely offline — in a garden, on a campsite, wherever the boards are.

Cornhole also goes by bags, baggo, sack toss or bean bag toss. Breton palet is also known as palet sur planche or brass palet. If you throw corn-filled bags at a holed board, or brass discs at a wooden one, this is your scoreboard.

Free, and free of everything else.
