How it works

The basics, in four steps

From creating an account to watching your rating climb. That is how simple it is to organize and compete on Takada Score.

How it works

From sign-up to ranking in four steps

The same flow works for a regional federation and for four friends who just want to play a few games.

  1. 01

    Create or join

    Sign up as a player or organizer. The admin approves your account and you are in.

  2. 02

    Set up the tournament

    Pick a format, venues and schedule. Hit draw and the system proposes the pairings.

  3. 03

    Play and score live

    The shared scoreboard records every game. Players confirm the result between themselves.

  4. 04

    Track your record

    Your rating updates, prizes are awarded and your competitive history grows match by match.

What it does

Competitive billiards, all under one roof

A single data model for four competition scenarios: formal tournament, quick tournament, free match and supervised match.

  • Live scoreboard

    Game ±1, break-and-run, time-out and referee claim. A shared real-time view over WebSocket, with consensual result confirmation.

  • Dual Glicko-2 ranking

    Each player carries two independent ratings — official and recreational — each with its own uncertainty. Casual play never taints serious competition.

  • Tournaments your way

    Single elimination or group stage, multi-day and multi-venue. Drawing is automatic: byes, seeds and pairings ready for the organizer to validate.

  • Three usage modes

    Organizer, player and spectator. Each role sees what it needs, and admin-mediated sign-up keeps the user base clean.

  • Built-in streaming

    Link the YouTube broadcast to a match and mark the notable shots. Highlight reels almost for free, straight from the scoreboard.

  • Prizes, pots and milestones

    Points-based gamification — never money. Pots that grow with every milestone of the match and rewards configured by the organizer.

Live scoreboard

The match, in the palm of your hand

A shared view both players see at once. No event replay: on reconnect the client requests the current state and resumes.

Dual ranking

Two records, one player

Glicko-2 factors in rating uncertainty and handles inactivity better than plain Elo. The weighting strategy is set by the global admin.

Official

Formal competition

0

Fed by federated tournaments and supervised free matches, weighted by the organizer type.

Recreational

Casual play

0

Fed by quick tournaments and free matches between friends. Useful without risking the serious ranking.

Walkovers and bracket byes are ignored when computing the rating.
