Basketball Shot Clock

Shot clock, or "24-second-clock" is used in both FIBA and NBA basketball since 1954 to speed up the game. The timer is usually mounted above the hoop, below the game clock.

Close intro

Basic Shot Clock Rules

After the offensive team gains possession of the ball in their own half, they have 8 seconds to move the ball into the opposition's half. The ball is awarded to the other team if they fail to score or at least hit the rim in 24 seconds.

The shot clock operator's job is to start the timer when a team gains full possestion of the ball and to reset it when the other team gets control: turnover, offensive foul, violation, defensive rebound and after a scored basket. The timer is always reset when the ball hits the rim after a shot. The counter should never be running in dead ball situations and should be started when the referee signals lowering their arm.

In case of a defensive foul or kick ball violation the clock is reset to 14 if it's under 14 seconds.

Toggle edit mode with the pencil icon in the menu. A cursor starts blinking in the first score counter when the edit mode is activated. Use your keyboard to set the values easily. Make sure to enter number values in the counters, otherwise they will be set to zero.

The keyboard shortcuts are disabled when the edit mode is turned on.

Toggle full screen mode to hide the browser frame. You can also do this pressing the F11 key in most web browsers. You might need to adjust the zoom and top margin in the settings.

This option collects every current variable on your scoreboard and encodes it in a web link. Every value that differs from the default will be added as a URL parameter. This way you can save your settings and share a game.
