Frequently asked questions
How PB Tracker gets its paintball scores, what it stores, and how to get the most out of it.
Where do the live scores come from?
PB Tracker reads the public live board published by PBLeagues (pbleagues.com) for each tournament. While an event is running, the board is re-read every few seconds and the scores on your screen update to match. The site does not keep its own scoreboard and does not officiate or verify results — it is a viewer for the official board.
Why does it say “No tournament selected”?
PB Tracker is not tied to one event: it shows whichever tournament you pick. Open a tournament from the home page and the site remembers your choice on that device, so returning later takes you straight back to its board. Arriving at the watch page without a selection — or after clearing your browser data — simply means no tournament has been chosen yet; pick one from the home page and the board loads.
Why is there no board for my event?
A live board only exists while matches are actually being played. The day before a tournament, or between match blocks, there is nothing to show — the page says so and keeps checking, rather than showing an error. The Schedule tab works regardless: it lists every fixture for the event, so you can plan ahead even before the first match starts.
How do favorites work?
Star a team to follow it across the tournament, or star an individual fixture to track one match. Your selections appear on the Favorites tab, and push alerts (if enabled) fire when a starred match moves onto a field or finishes. Favorites are stored in your browser and, additionally, on our server against an anonymous device id generated by your browser — no account, no email, no password. Clearing your browser data clears both copies. Finished matches are removed from your favorites automatically an hour after they end.
Do I need an account?
No. PB Tracker has no sign-up and no login. Everything — favorites, followed teams, notification settings — is tied to your browser on your device.
Which browsers and devices are supported?
PB Tracker is a progressive web app: it works in any current browser on phone, tablet, or desktop, and can be installed to your home screen like a native app. Push notifications work in browsers that support Web Push — on iOS, install the app to your home screen first, as iOS only delivers web notifications to installed apps. In private/incognito windows the site still shows live scores, but it cannot remember your favorites or deliver notifications.
The site looks wrong or won’t load — what now?
Try a hard refresh first; a stale cached script is the usual cause. If a score looks wrong, compare it with the official PBLeagues board — the official result always wins. For anything else, email info@pbliveresults.com and include the tournament name and what you saw.
Is PB Tracker free?
Yes, free to use with no accounts and no paid tier. The site is supported by advertising, which is kept away from the scoreboard itself and never replaces content you came for.
