BoxCricScore
Live and open for registrationYour box cricket league, organised and scored — for free.
An ad-free tournament platform built for box cricket as it is actually played: walls in play, bonus runs, free hits, and ball-by-ball live scoring anyone can follow from a single shared link.
Why box cricket needed its own platform
Most scoring apps are built for the 11-a-side outdoor game. Box cricket is a different sport: it is played inside a netted enclosure, where the walls are part of the field of play. Generic tools cannot represent it, so organisers fall back to whiteboards, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups.
Wall-hit scoring
Direct side-wall hits, indirect side-net deflections, back-wall hits and boundaries each carry their own run treatment, including bonus runs.
Box-specific no-balls
Double bounce and above-waist full toss are captured as no-balls and automatically trigger the next-ball free hit.
Configurable formats
Overs per innings and players per side are set per tournament, not hard-coded to a standard format.
Ball-by-ball truth
Every delivery is stored as its own record, so scores, extras, bonus runs and statistics are all derived rather than manually tallied.
Why we made it free
The users are local box cricket leagues: a turf booking, a set of bibs, and whatever the entry fee covers. There is no software budget, and there was never going to be one — which is exactly why the category has been left to whiteboards for twenty years.
Charging per tournament means the organiser weighs a fee against a spreadsheet that costs nothing, and the spreadsheet wins. Running ads means putting a banner across the live scorecard — the thing a player’s family opens to follow a match they cannot attend. Both options monetise the one moment the product actually matters to somebody.
So it is free. Every feature, no tier, no ads. What we get back is the thing that is genuinely hard to buy: real matches, real edge cases, and organisers telling us what still eats their weekend. A scoring engine gets correct by meeting a thousand unusual deliveries, not by being reviewed.
What it does
Ball-by-ball scoring engine
Each delivery captured with runs, extras, wall-hit type and dismissal details, with commentary generated automatically.
Public spectator view
A no-login, shareable live scorecard. Send one link and anyone follows the match ball by ball across scorecard, commentary, analytics, MVP and points table.
Automated points tables
Standings generated from results, including run-rate tie-breaks.
Match analytics and MVP
Per-match analytics and an automatically determined Most Valuable Player, so the best all-round contribution gets recognised, not just the top score.
Passwordless mobile login
OTP sign-in over mobile number. No passwords to create, forget or reset — which matters when scorers change match to match.
Role-based access
Distinct admin, team manager, scorer and viewer roles, so organisers keep control while scorers score and spectators watch.
Full audit trail
Every change logged with before-and-after values, so a disputed score can always be traced and resolved.
Tournament and fixture management
Tournaments, schedules, venues, team registration and player profiles in one dashboard.
How it is built
- A strictly layered solution (API to Services to Data to Models to Common) with external providers such as SMS and email injected behind interfaces, so they can be swapped without touching business logic.
- The scoring engine is isolated and independently testable — the bonus-run and free-hit rules live in one place rather than scattered across the UI.
- Live scores are pushed over SignalR rather than polled, keeping viewer devices current without hammering the server.
Who it is for
- Tournament organisers running weekend leagues, community cups and knockout events
- Corporate sports committees managing inter-department tournaments
- Turf and arena owners offering managed tournaments as a service
- Teams and players who want performance recorded properly rather than lost in a group chat
- Spectators following a match they cannot attend
