The Ballers
Basketball game management for pickup games and tournaments — live scores, player stats,
and shared game records in real time.
Who it’s for
- Players who want a lasting record of games and form
- Organizers running pickup nights or local tournaments
- Coaches and teammates who need one live scoreboard — not three group chats
- Sideline viewers (parents, friends) who just need the score to stay in sync
What it solves
- Scoring today is messy — whiteboards, Notes apps, WhatsApp threads that disagree
- No shared source of truth while the game is live
- Almost nothing left after the buzzer for history or “who played last week”
-
The Ballers gives one live game: create → manage teams → score → keep profiles &
history — without a heavy league setup
What you can do
- Live scoring — tap scores as you play; everyone watching sees the same board
- Player stats & profiles — performance that sticks with the player over time
- Teams & tournaments — pickup or structured brackets in the same app
- Game history — results and summaries after the night ends
- Multiplayer on court — multiple people can follow or help score the same game live
How it works (product view)
- On the phone — create games, set teams, enter scores, read stats — fast enough for game pace
- Actions land in one place — scores, roster changes, and game state aren’t stuck on one device
- Everyone stays in sync — updates fan out so the court and the phones agree
- After the game — history, profiles, teams, and tournaments stick around for next time
Outcome
- Live on Google Play
- Validated with 100+ players
- Designed and shipped end-to-end — problem framing through store release
