After purchasing your subscription you can create as many lanes as you've subscribed for. Each lane gets its own projected board and scoring tablet.

Create Your Lane
From your dashboard, click Add Lane and give it a name.

View Lane Details
Click on your new lane card to open the details. You'll see two URLs and a secret code.
3
Connect Your Devices
Open the Board URL on your projector's browser. Open the Scoring URL on your tablet.
4
Enter the Secret
Both devices will ask for a secret code. Enter the code shown in your lane details. It's the same for both devices.
5
You're Connected
Both devices now show the game selection screen. The board and scoring tablet are linked in real time.
6
Add Players
Tap Add Players on the scoring tablet. Enter up to 10 player names. For 1-on-1 games, players are automatically assigned to red and blue teams.
7
Calibrate Your Targets
If the projected target doesn't line up with your physical target, tap Calibrate in the top right. Adjust the position, size, and rotation for each game type. Calibration is saved per lane.

Use Gift Cards to issue promotional, legacy, or paid cards and manage their balances. On Waivers, optionally enable digital waivers that are emailed to participants automatically.
