The Retro

Slide the peg. The score is live.

A sealed sensing column that fits your existing slide scoreboard. Players keep score the way they always have, and the board sends every change to Save My Play over Wi‑Fi. No buttons, no screen, no wiring.

Nothing changes for players.
Everything changes for you.

On the court

The same board, the same pegs, the same notches. Players keep score exactly the way they always have.

Everywhere else

Every peg move reaches Save My Play in a moment, so the score is on your stream, your recordings and the app without anyone typing it in.

Try it

Go on, slide it.

Drag a peg to a new notch, or tap one, and every screen keeps up. When a set ends, slide the spare peg up to S: the set is saved and the next one starts at 0–0, all the way through a best-of-3 match.

How it works

From peg to screen,
in a moment.

  1. 01Slide the pegScore the way you always have.
  2. 02It senses the pegA magnetic sensor behind every notch.
  3. 03Sends it over Wi‑FiThe whole board, every time.
  4. 04Score on every screenStream, recordings and the app.

Non-contact magnetic sensing. Nothing touches, nothing wears, nothing to calibrate.

01

Nothing to learn

Same pegs, same notches, same numbers. The column reads where the pegs sit, so nobody at the court touches a screen.

02

Score on every screen

The moment a peg moves, the score updates on your live stream, your recordings and the Save My Play app.

03

Never out of step

Every update carries the whole board, never just “plus one”. Slide a peg back and it’s read as a correction, not a new game.

04

3–6 months on a charge

Set it and forget it. When it does need a top-up, charge it right on the board through the sealed USB‑C port.

The Retro’s column, held up at the court
The column. Pre-production prototype shown.

Fits the board you have

Classic on the outside.
Connected on the inside.

The Retro is a slim, sealed column that fits over the middle of a standard slide-peg tennis scoreboard, in place of its printed numbers. The tracks and notches stay just as they are, and each peg carries a small magnet the column can sense.

  1. 1Fit the column. It goes over the middle of your board, between the two tracks, in place of the printed numbers.
  2. 2Connect it. Join its setup network from your phone and pick your Wi‑Fi.
  3. 3Play. Slide the pegs. The score does the rest.

Fits standard slide-peg tennis scoreboards with two tracks of ten notches, 1 to 9 and S. Different board? : the sensing strip is made to length.

For developers

The score, straight to your app.

Building a league, tournament or club app? The Retro gives it live scores from real courts, with no hardware to build. Every peg move reaches Save My Play in a moment, and your server a moment later: as a signed webhook, or whenever you ask over REST.

01

Webhooks, as it happens

Every peg move becomes a signed JSON event sent to your server, retried for an hour if you’re down.

02

REST when you want it

Read any court’s live score, or every finished match, with one HTTPS call.

03

The whole score, every time

Sets, games, who won what and a ready-made display line. A sequence number on every update means you never show an old score.

04

One format, every court

The same JSON whether a match is kept on a Retro, on our Courtside Tablet or by a partner’s feed. Build it once.

Get started

  1. 1Get API access. We issue an API key for your facility.
  2. 2Add a webhook. Point it at your server in Venue Management, or create it with one API call.
  3. 3Use the score. Handle match.score_updated and show it anywhere: your app, your site, your screens.
Read the API docs →

HTTPS only. Requests are signed with HMAC-SHA256, carry a sequence number per match and are retried for an hour. The same API serves scores from the Courtside Tablet and partner feeds.

Questions

Good to know.

No. Same pegs, same notches, same numbers. They keep score exactly the way they always have.

Each peg carries a small magnet, and there’s a magnetic sensor behind every notch. Nothing touches, so nothing wears out.

Slide it back. The Retro sends the whole board every time, so a peg moved back is read as a correction, not a new game.

Yes. When a set ends, slide the spare peg up to S. Save My Play saves the set’s score and starts the next set at 0–0, all the way through a best-of-3 match.

Fit the column over the middle of your board, join its setup network from your phone and pick your Wi‑Fi. To get back to setup later, wiggle a peg back and forth a few times.

3 to 6 months on a charge. When it needs a top-up, charge it right on the board through the sealed USB‑C port.

Yes. The Retro is outdoor ready: the column is sealed for outdoor courts.

The Retro keeps the score and sends it as soon as the network is back.

Standard slide-peg tennis scoreboards with two tracks of ten notches (1 to 9 and S). Different board? Tell us: the sensing strip is made to length.

The Retro comes as one package per scoreboard: $99 once for the hardware, plus a $19 a month subscription. Every Retro needs its subscription. It puts the score on your stream, your recordings and the Save My Play app, and covers the scoring API, webhooks and device health in Venue Management.

Pre-orders start soon. Get early access and we’ll let you know as soon as they open.

Yes. Every change is available through the Save My Play API: a signed webhook the moment a peg moves, or a REST call whenever you want the score. It’s the same format as scoring on our Courtside Tablet, so one integration covers every court. The docs are at savemyplay.com/api-docs.
