Track scores for multiple players across rounds with running totals and winner highlights.
Game night scorekeeping normally means paper, a shaky pencil, and an arithmetic dispute by round four. This tool replaces the scorecard: you list the players, then for each round you enter one score per player, and it keeps a running total for everyone and highlights the current leader as the game progresses. The thing most people get wrong the first time is entering the cumulative total instead of the round's score - each entry must be the points scored in that round only, and entering the running total means every later round counts those earlier points again. Scores stay in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
Players: Alice, Bob, Cara, Dan Round 1: Alice 12, Bob 9, Cara 11, Dan 8 Round 2: Alice 10, Bob 12, Cara 9, Dan 13 Round 3: Alice 11, Bob 10, Cara 12, Dan 9
Expected output
Running totals: Round 1: Alice 12, Bob 9, Cara 11, Dan 8 Round 2: Alice 22, Bob 21, Cara 20, Dan 21 Round 3: Alice 33, Bob 31, Cara 32, Dan 30 Winner highlighted: Alice with 33
Each round's entry is added to the player's running total, so every figure is a cumulative sum: Alice's 22 after round 2 is 12 + 10, and her final 33 is 12 + 10 + 11. The highest total is the highlighted winner; the layout may differ, but these are the numbers a running-total tracker produces.
Each round is one row of the scorecard: a score for every player, entered at the same time. The tracker adds each entry to that player's running total, so the total after round N is the sum of that player's scores in rounds 1 through N. New rounds are added until the game ends, and the totals update as each round is entered.
At any point, the player with the highest running total is the leader, and the scorecard marks that player so the lead is visible without comparing columns. The highlight follows the leader, so it can change mid-game when someone overtakes. Ties are the edge case to watch: with equal totals, check whether the highlight shows one player, both, or neither, and decide whether that matches your house rules.
That depends on the interface: some scorecards let you edit a round after entry, others do not. If editing is not available, the safe move is to catch mistakes at entry time, since a wrong entry carries forward into every later running total. Try editing an entry in a test round before a real game, and don't assume undo exists.
A browser tool like this one keeps your data on your own device, so if the scorecard is saved at all, it is saved in that browser, not on a server. But saving depends on the tool: if it keeps state between visits, closing the tab is safe; if it does not, you start over. Test it with a throwaway game before relying on it mid-tournament.
