A summer league deserves a summer screen. One board carries the whole night’s slate, a full-screen card takes over when your team tips off, and when the playoffs arrive in late September the same card tells you how far along the series is.
Three kinds of slide, sharing one rotation: the night at a glance, the teams you follow up close, and the standings and series behind them.
A WNBA evening rarely runs past a handful of games, which means the whole night usually fits on a single slide: up to eight games at once, with score, status and clock on each, ordered live first, then finished, then still to tip. Teams you follow are pulled to the front of the board, so even on the busiest night page one opens with yours.
All league guidesWhen your team is on, one game takes the whole screen: score, both crests, the tip-off time converted to your own time zone and, while it is being played, the quarter and the clock. It is the slide to leave up when the game is close and the board would only bury it among the others.
See a game cardConference tables cycle in between the games through the summer. There are no division tables here — the league does not split into divisions, so the app does not invent any. From late September a Playoff Standings slide joins the rotation instead, laying out each series that is being played so the screen answers “who is up?” without a tap.
NBA guideTwo settings shape the board: the scope, which decides whose games are eligible, and the window, which decides how much of the calendar it reaches.
Scope for the WNBA is the straightforward pair — All games or My teams. With a league this size, all games is usually the right answer: the whole slate fits on a slide or two, and following two or three teams on top of it simply floats them to the front of the board rather than hiding the rest.
Scores refresh while games are live, typically within a minute of the action. Everything here is set from your phone, not from the screen, and the display updates as soon as you save. Quick presets swap the whole board in one tap, slide timing is adjustable, and tapping the slide counter at the bottom pauses on whatever is showing.
The season itself runs from May into September, with the playoffs carrying it through October, so for part of the year there is simply nothing to put on the board. That is an argument for running the WNBA alongside another league rather than on its own: every league you switch on joins the same rotation, and the screen carries whichever of them has games today.
The board renders the same on every device. Reading distance is what should decide which one you use.
A second screen keeps the board out of the way of the game you are watching, and dense type is easiest to read from a sofa. Install from Google Play on an Android TV or Google TV, then approve a short code from your phone — you never type a password with a remote. The Android TV setup guide covers the whole sequence.
An iPad on a side table needs nothing installed: open the site in Safari and add it to the home screen. At that distance the full-screen game card, quarter and clock included, is the better slide, and in the playoffs it carries the series line as well. The iPad setup guide has the steps, Auto-Lock included.
On both, TickrDash asks the device to keep the screen awake while the ticker is showing. Any browser tab works as well — a laptop, a spare monitor, or a smart TV’s own browser — and the same screen can run several leagues in a single rotation.
Yes. The regular season and the playoffs are both covered, and the game cards carry the series status through the postseason — sized to the round being played, so a best-of-three series and a best-of-seven Finals each read correctly rather than all being counted to four wins. A Playoff Standings slide shows the active series together.
Conference standings only. The league is not divided into divisions, so there is no division table to show and the app does not fabricate one. The conference tables cycle in between the games during the season, and once the playoffs begin the Playoff Standings slide does that job instead.
The score, both crests, and the quarter and clock while the game is in progress. Before tip-off the same card shows the start time in your own time zone rather than a clock, and once the game is final it settles into the result. Games you have not followed still appear on the Smart Scoreboard with their score and status.
Running more than one basketball league? The NBA guide covers the winter side with its own round labels, and the college basketball guide covers the men’s and women’s Division I boards and the March Madness bracket. The NHL guide is the other half of a spring screen. The league hub lists every guide, and the support page answers sign-in and billing.
