Halves & Quarters Presets

One-tap 20:00 halves for men's games, 10:00 quarters for women's games, and 5:00 overtime — with fine minute/second editing for media timeouts and running-clock rec rules.

Bonus Logic Built In

Team fouls tracked per half (men) or per quarter (women) with automatic Bonus at 7 and Double-Bonus at 10 — the exact thresholds that decide March basketball.

Tournament Ready

Run Court 1 and Court 2 in separate tabs with different clocks, project to gym walls, or overlay the board in OBS for streamed bracket games.

College timing, minus the confusion

College basketball is the only major format with halves instead of quarters (men) and a 30-second shot clock — here is how HooperScore maps to it:

  • Set halves or quarters first. Men's game? 20:00 halves, period counter runs 1–2. Women's or scrimmage? 10:00 quarters. Fouls reset on the same cycle as your periods, so pick correctly before tip-off.
  • Use the 30s shot clock. Full 30s reset on possession change (R), 20s reset on offensive rebounds (Q). Read the full shot-clock rules by league if your rec league modifies these.
  • Watch the 7th and 10th fouls. Men's bonus (one-and-one) starts at 7 team fouls per half; double bonus (two shots) at 10. Women's bonus is two shots at 5 per quarter. The board badges update live — announce them so coaches can adjust.
  • Track 5-foul disqualifications. College players foul out at 5 personals, one fewer than the NBA. Keep a glance on individual fouls in foul-heavy tournament games.

Built for campus, intramurals, and brackets

Most campus rec leagues, intramural programs, and 3v3 tournaments borrow NCAA timing because everyone already knows it. HooperScore fits that world: free, no-install, runnable by a work-study volunteer with 60 seconds of training.

Open two tabs for parallel courts, cast each to its gym TV, and run a full tournament on hardware the campus already owns. Need a different rulebook? Switch to the NBA 12-minute board, the NFHS high-school board, or the standalone shot clock with buzzer.

NCAA Basketball Scoreboard FAQ

How long are NCAA halves and quarters?+

NCAA men's games are two 20-minute halves (40 minutes regulation). NCAA women's games are four 10-minute quarters. Overtime is 5 minutes in both. HooperScore has presets for 20:00 halves, 10:00 quarters, and 5:00 OT.

What is the bonus and double bonus in college basketball?+

In NCAA men's play, the 7th team foul of a half triggers the bonus (one-and-one free throws) and the 10th triggers the double bonus (two shots). In NCAA women's play, the 5th team foul of a quarter earns two free throws. HooperScore lights Bonus and Double-Bonus badges automatically at the right thresholds.

How long is the NCAA shot clock?+

The NCAA shot clock is 30 seconds for both men and women — longer than the NBA's 24. After an offensive rebound it resets to 20 seconds. HooperScore's shot clock supports the 30s preset with a one-tap 20s rebound reset.

How many fouls foul you out in college basketball?+

Players foul out on their 5th personal foul in both NCAA men's and women's basketball (the NBA allows 6). Track personal fouls alongside team fouls on HooperScore so nobody is surprised by a disqualification in a tight game.

Can I run intramural and club games with NCAA settings?+

Yes — most intramural and adult rec leagues copy NCAA timing (20-minute halves or running clock with a 30s shot clock). Set your period length once, and HooperScore handles bonus tracking, timeouts, possession, and the horn for the whole tournament.
