Tryda swaps paper scorecards for a phone app your referees tap to score — and a live scoreboard that keeps the ladder for you, in real time.
Cards go missing, totals get added up wrong, and the ladder isn't right until long after the last whistle. Tryda fixes the scoring itself — not just the paperwork.
No new hardware, nothing to install. A referee app, a coordinator scoreboard, and a live ladder that ties them together.
They open a link on any phone, pick their game, and tap Try, Goal or Field goal. The running total keeps itself.
Each final score drops straight into the coordinator's Google Sheet — the single source of truth for the day.
Standings rebuild on every result, grouped by division and split on points differential. Finals seed themselves.

Flip between every game in play and the standings on a single scoreboard. Because scores come straight from the field, the ladder you're looking at is the ladder — not a best guess waiting on paperwork. Grouped by division, ranked on competition points, split on points differential — and when two teams are dead level on everything, the first tryscorer from their own game separates them. Parents can collapse the divisions they're not following, pin their own match to the top, and leave a one-tap star rating on the day.
From the draw to tap-to-score, live scores, the ladder, and finals — here's Tryda running a gala day end to end.

For non-competitive carnivals and junior gala days, the scoreboard isn't the point — behaviour is. Values Mode turns Tryda into a fair-play scoring system: assessors rate each team's conduct, teamwork and sportsmanship, and the ladder ranks on values points instead of tries.
On-field team performance, attitude and behaviour — rated on a 10-point scale against clear guidelines:
Sideline conduct counts too. Coaches and team staff are rated on a 5-point scale:
The crowd is part of the game day. Spectator behaviour earns each team points on a 5-point scale:
One assessor can score both teams in a game — or roam between fields — from a single screen. Traditional scoring switches off entirely, and every criterion and rating scale is configurable to match your association's framework.
Pick the plan that matches how your district runs its gala days — every plan is per district, GST included, with as many gala days a season as you like.
Tryda isn't software you install once — it's a service that has to work flawlessly on one high-stakes day. Your subscription is what guarantees that.
Servers, backups and capacity for hundreds of parents refreshing the scoreboard at once. Your ladder is live because we keep it live.
A real person to reach when a coordinator can't log in at 7:30am. For a volunteer-run district, that safety net matters.
Every improvement — like coach reports and MySideline tracking — lands automatically. No reinstalls, no version chaos, and subscribers shape the roadmap.
Ladders, results and history carry over season to season, so your district's record builds instead of starting from scratch.
Volunteers turn over every year. Fresh referees and coordinators get set up and shown the ropes each season — included.
Your district branding, division structures, local scoring rules and Values Mode weighting, tuned to how your comp actually runs.
"If Tryda doesn't earn its renewal next season — don't renew. No lock-in beyond the year."
We'll send the full write-up — how it works, what it costs, and how a rollout looks for your districts.
A district is your association or competition — one subscription covers all your gala days and teams for the season, on your own scoreboard.
No. It's a web link they open on any phone. They can add it to their home screen so it behaves like an app, and it keeps working on a patchy signal.
Just a Google account for your scoreboard (a Google Sheet we share with you) and a phone for each referee. No new hardware, no installs.
You set a fresh code for each event and read it out at the start. It stops yesterday's referees posting to today's results.
Yes. Every district has its own scoreboard, walled off from every other. Referees only ever see the scoring app, never the sheet.
Absolutely — request a demo and we'll set you up to run it alongside paper for a day so you can compare.
