Basketball Scoring on Kynaix Sports

Basket-by-basket recording, foul tracking, quarter management, and live player stats — all from your phone courtside.

How Scoring Works

The scorer records each made basket and its point value. The app handles the running total, quarter time, and team fouls automatically.

Step 1

Open the live match and tap Start Quarter. The clock starts running.

Step 2

When a basket is made, tap the scoring player and select the point value (1, 2, or 3).

Step 3

Log fouls against any player. The app tracks team foul count and triggers bonus free throws automatically.

Step 4

At the end of each quarter, confirm the score. Continue to the next quarter or end the match.

Point Values

Tap the correct value for each basket. Free throws, field goals, and three-pointers are all tracked separately for player stats.

1
Free Throw
2
Field Goal
3
3-Pointer
💡 Recording which player scored each basket builds individual shooting stats — useful for MVP awards and post-tournament leaderboards.

Fouls and Free Throws

The app tracks personal fouls per player and team fouls per quarter. When the bonus threshold is reached, it prompts for free throw recording.

Foul Tracking

  • Personal fouls: up to 5 fouls before a player is disqualified (configurable)
  • Team fouls: bonus free throws triggered at 4 team fouls per quarter (standard rules)
  • Technical fouls can be logged separately against a player or the bench
  • Flagrant fouls result in free throws + possession — enter both outcomes

Recording Free Throws

  • Tap the fouled player, then select how many free throws are awarded
  • Record each free throw as made or missed — both count toward shooting stats
  • The app automatically adds points to the scoreboard for made free throws

Stats Tracked Per Match

Every basket and foul builds a full box score for each player — visible live to all participants.
