Questions about rugby scoring
- How do I keep live scores for a rugby match?
- Set up your team on Sideline, pick Rugby, and start the match from your phone on the touchline. Each try is one or two taps, and everyone with the link sees it straight away.
- Do parents need an app to follow the match?
- No. You share one link, in the parents' WhatsApp group or anywhere else, and it opens in any browser. There's nothing to download and no login.
- Does Sideline follow rugby rules?
- Yes. 2 halves of 20 minutes by default, with the length set per match type. Scores: Try (5), Conversion (2), Penalty (3), Drop goal (3), Penalty try (7). You can change the format to match your league or age group.
- Is it free?
- Every new team gets a 30-day free trial of everything, then keeps a free plan for live scoring. The full plan is £2.99 a month or £29.99 a year, and parents or a sponsor can pay for it.
