7 reasons to run your quiz night like a TV quiz
Run your quiz night like a TV quiz: type each round's scores as you mark them, and the leaderboard on the TV or projector updates itself. Quiz Night Scoreboard handles jokers, half points, round maximums, ties and the tie-break, prints the answer sheets and results, and keeps every quiz so next week takes two minutes to set up.

Jokers

Welcome, round title, countdown timer, leaderboard, tie-break and podium; open it in a second window that updates as you type, or full screen
The leaderboard only shows fully marked rounds

No. Once the file is on your laptop it works with no internet at all.
Can I use a second screen?
Yes. Press Open in a new window, drag it to the TV or projector and press F for full screen. It updates live while you type scores on the laptop.
