Water Polo Board icon

Water Polo Board is a small wireless receiver you bring to the pool. It feeds live timing and score to the Water Polo Camera and Water Polo Referee Companion apps over Bluetooth. It only listens; it never transmits to or interferes with the scoreboard equipment.

How it works

The pool’s scoreboard already broadcasts its timing wirelessly. The Board quietly listens to that broadcast and passes it along to your phone over Bluetooth. That is the whole job: a receiver, one way, always listening and never talking back.

Nothing plugs into the scoreboard. The Board's only cable is power.

Getting one is easy

Every Water Polo Board is the same tiny, affordable gadget, about the size of a stick of gum, running our free software. The only question is who loads the software onto it: we can do that for you, or you can do it yourself in a few minutes with a computer and a USB cable. Same Board either way:

Either way, it could not be lower maintenance: keep it in its antistatic bag, power it from any USB power bank (you can even plug it into your phone), and it starts listening. Once set up, the Board keeps itself up to date through the app over Bluetooth.
