Put SideSpin from Google Play on the phone or tablet that will live at the table.
A scoreboard for every table.
From a phone in a drawer.
Put a spare Android phone or tablet beside each table and SideSpin turns it into that table's scoreboard. Players tap the balls as they drop, the official rules do the rest, and everyone who plays there keeps their own record. Nothing to wire up, no hardware to buy.

Coming to Google PlayHow to set up a table ↓
Setting up · 01
Install. Choose. Rack up.
Choose “At a table”
SideSpin asks where the device will live the first time it opens. Pick At a table and the 14-day trial starts. Then name the table, choose its games and set your owner PIN.
Rack up
Players pick their name or add themselves with a PIN, or play as Guest, and break off. Repeat for each table.
At the table · 02
The board your players will see.
Players tap each ball as it drops. Leave the board alone and it turns into Door mode: the score, then the state of the frame, readable from across the room.
The whole rack sits in a tray. Solids and stripes, ball in hand and the race to N are handled for the players.
Points, innings, average and high run on the board, with a shot clock the player can read from the rail.
For the room · 03
One device, everyone who plays there.
- Unlimited players.Regulars add themselves as a New player the first time they play, with no cap on how many the device remembers.
- Guest play.A walk-in can tap Play as Guest: no PIN, and the frame isn't saved to a player record.
- A record behind a PIN.Each player sets a 4-digit PIN the first time they play. After that, it's needed to play under their name or open their stats.
- Rivalries that carry on.Every frame is kept against the pair who played it, so the next visit picks up the head-to-head where it left off.
- Free table between renters.Free table signs both players out, ready for the next pair. Saved frames stay in their records, and a frame still in play is kept for them to resume.
- Settings behind an owner PIN.The owner sets a PIN at setup. It guards table settings, removing players and PIN resets.
- Readable from across the room.Leave the board alone and Door mode fills the screen with the score, so the next table can follow the frame.
- On the club TV.Cast the live board from the table's device to a Chromecast or Google TV.
The rules · 04
No arguments at the table.
Every game follows its official rulebook and only accepts legal shots, so the board settles the score, not the loudest player.
SNOOKER
WPBSA rules.
Full snooker and six-red: what's on next, foul values, free balls, points left and snookers required.
POOL
WPA rules.
8-ball and 9-ball: groups, ball in hand, push-outs, the three-foul rule and the race to N.
BILLIARDS
World Billiards rules.
English billiards: pots, cannons and in-offs, the consecutive-stroke limits, counted down to your target.
CAROM
UMB rules.
Three-cushion: innings, average, high run, the equalising inning and a shot clock. Four-ball follows the Korean hall standard.
The Venue plan · 05
