Team Scoreboard — Split a Training Room into Teams

Making teams by hand eats ten minutes of every workshop and usually produces the same clusters of colleagues who already sit together. Team Scoreboard does it in one tap: everyone joins with a nickname on their phone, and the server deals the whole room across two to eight balanced teams in a single cryptographic draw. If the split lands two managers on one side, the trainer taps a player to move them across — no dragging, which matters when the laptop is on a lectern.

Once the teams exist, the scoreboard runs itself for the rest of the day. The trainer gives points to a team for winning a round — a confirm protects against the wrong tap, and totals never dip below zero — and can move players as the room shifts. Reset scores between games without disbanding the teams.

Everybody sees where they stand. Each phone shows its owner's team at the top of the screen and the full standings underneath, so nobody has to ask which team they are on after the coffee break — and the same numbers sit on the projector for the whole room, readable from the back row.

Shuffling again re-deal everyone balanced across the teams while the scores stay with the teams — useful after a coffee break doubles the room. The scoreboard deletes itself after seven days, and every draw is the server's, so nobody can argue with the split.
