Claus Schaale, an electrical engineer, spent years of weekends at tennis tournaments watching his twins play. Even courtside, it was often hard to tell where a match stood, and a few minutes away meant losing the thread. The other parents had the same problem. In 2025 he co-founded MyScore Live in Berlin to connect the familiar tennis and padel scoreboard to the internet.
Players turn the number wheels between games, as they always have, and the score goes online straight away.
The board sends it over the mobile network and runs on solar power, so clubs need no Wi-Fi or cabling on court, and no cameras, sensors or apps. Each board has its own permanent link, which families and coaches can open from anywhere. Organisers see every court on one screen and manage draws, order of play and results on the same platform. If a score goes in wrong, the referee fixes it from a phone.
Clubs that already have tournament software can keep it. In Germany the boards run alongside systems such as nuTurnier, and an open API passes the live scores on to other websites, apps and streaming platforms. Since May 2026, the padel platform Mocion has shown live scores from the boards inside its app.
Since April 2025 the boards have been used at ITF J30 junior and ITF beach tennis events, Berlin-Brandenburg federation championships and the Valencia Tennis Tour youth circuit at Sporting Club de Tenis de Valencia.
At Young Generation, a junior tournament at Blau-Weiß Berlin this summer, more than 800 matches were played on 19 courts in five days. The federation’s IT system was down for almost two days, but scores kept coming in from the courts, and nearly 2,000 people followed them online.
At the Neuenhagen Open in June, the boards ran for nine days on solar power alone, through heavy rain and storms. Co-founder Sophie Bray MBE won Olympic hockey gold at Rio 2016 and now ranks among the UK’s top 20 padel players. The technology is patent pending.
We are delighted to welcome MyScore Live to the GSIC ecosystem and look forward to introducing them to tennis and padel clubs, federations and tournament organisers in our network.
