Even court time, live scores — quarters or halves.
Junior comps mandate even court time, and the scoreboard moves in 1s, 2s and 3s. Kickd runs the bench — rotation alerts, live player minutes, fair court time — and scores the game live, in whatever format your association plays.
Basketball questions, answered
Kickd is an Australian game-day app built for basketball bench management: starting five plus bench with unlimited subs, rotation alerts, live minutes on every player, fair and even court time, live free throw, 2-point and 3-point scoring, assists, rebounds, steals, blocks, turnovers and fouls from U13 up, a match clock that keeps running while the app is backgrounded, and Player of the Match voting — in quarters or halves.
Which basketball formats does Kickd support?
Quarters or halves with the common Australian presets built in — 4×8, 4×10, 2×18 and 2×20 — in whatever format your association plays.
Does the match timer keep running if I leave the app?
Yes. The match clock is anchored to real time, so backgrounding the app, locking the phone or stepping away for photos never stops it — the time is right when you come back, and a live match timer sits on your lock screen on both iPhone and Android.
How does Kickd track even court time?
Junior comps mandate even court time, so Kickd manages it live from the bench: every player's minutes count up on the court view as the clock runs, rotation alerts fire when a change is due, and lineups auto-fill to put the players with the least season court time on first — so fair court time is a record, not a guess.
Does Kickd manage substitutions and rotations?
Yes — that's the job. Subs are two taps on the live court view, rotation alerts tell you when a change is due, and your lineup carries through every quarter break. Most basketball apps score or analyse the game; Kickd runs the bench.
What basketball stats does Kickd record?
Free throws, 2-pointers and 3-pointers live (threes from U13, per the junior framework); from U13 up it also logs assists, rebounds, steals, blocks, turnovers and fouls — with Player of the Match voting after the buzzer.
Does Kickd need any extra hardware courtside?
No. Everything is tapped on the phone or tablet you already own, it works offline, and parents can follow the live score for free.
Can I log basketball by voice?
Yes — Kickd Callout, included in every plan at every age group, logs the game completely hands-free on your phone mic or a Bluetooth headset (a boom mic like the Shokz OpenComm 2 for match day): say "basket fifteen" or "three pointer twelve" and the game updates without touching the screen. Recognition runs on-device and works fully offline.
