Every frame, on the record.

Frameball is a touchscreen scoreboard for UK 8-ball pool. It keeps the score, runs the queue, tracks every rivalry and remembers everything. Add a camera and it films the lot.

Touchscreen · Phone · TV if you want it

The Frameball game screen: frame 9, Colm v Dessie, Colm on three in a row, the camera picture of the table, and Noel next in the order of play.
The Frameball phone app live from the table: Colm v Dessie on, Colm leading tonight 4-1, a line from The Cueman about Fran’s cue, and Dessie top of the November table on 67%.

The chalkboard. The commentator. The stats man. And the fella who never forgets. All on one screen on the wall.

  1. At the table.

    A touchscreen on the wall. Big buttons, a tap and a hold per frame, readable from the far cushion.

  2. In your pocket.

    Live scores, tables and badges on everyone’s phone. Nothing to install.

  3. On the telly. Optional

    Add a camera and every frame is filmed, streamed and cut into highlights.

Worth knowing

Made for UK 8-ball.

Reds and yellows on a pub table. It’s the game Frameball was built around.

Not the referee.

It doesn’t call fouls or pick the winner. You play the frame and tap who won. Frameball keeps the record.

A night on the record

From the first break to full time, this is what the wall is doing while you play.

  1. The board’s up

    Before anyone has chalked a cue, the wall has this month’s table, the latest badges and one stat to start an argument.

    The Frameball home screen: a big New session button, November’s table with Dessie on top, recent badges and the stat of the day, Colm v Dessie, 241 frames.

  2. Names down

    Tap tonight’s players in playing order. The first two break. Everyone else is in the queue and knows it.

    Select players: Colm, Dessie, Noel and Fran tapped in playing order, ready to start a four-player session.

  3. Game on

    The wall tells the story of the frame: who’s on a run, who’s next and who’s waiting.

    The Frameball game screen: frame 9, Colm v Dessie, Colm on three in a row, the camera picture of the table, and Noel next in the order of play.

  4. Tap the winner

    Tap the winner, hold to confirm, and the frame is on the record. If the loser never potted a ball, that goes on the record too.

    Confirming the winner over the game screen: Colm wins frame 9 against Dessie, Brush selected because Dessie didn’t pot a ball, then hold to confirm.

  5. Next up

    Loser to the back of the queue. The wall calls the next player, quotes the head to head, and the commentator has a word.

    Between frames: frame 9 recorded, Colm beat Dessie with a brush, Colm stays on four in a row against Noel, who leads 61-57 all time, and The Cueman’s line about Dessie.

  6. To the VAR

    Disputed foul? With a camera on the table you can roll it back on the wall, pinch to zoom and settle it between you.

    VAR review: the frame’s recording paused at 2:41 on the wall, with playback speeds and Resume recording.

  7. Full time

    Final standings, badges handed out, and the month’s table updated on every phone before you’ve found your coat.

    Session complete: 14 frames from 19:12 to 00:41, Colm champion on 7 wins, then Dessie, Noel and Fran.

It remembers everything. That’s the problem.

Every frame is kept, so every streak, every rivalry and every collapse is kept with it.

Colm’s on 3 in a row

Can Dessie stop the run? Tonight Colm leads 2–1, all time 130–111.

It writes the headline.

Frameball gives every frame a story from the real numbers: tonight, this month and all time.

Who owns who.

Every pairing has a record. Every month and every year has a table. Every argument has an answer.

Stats, head to head: Colm leads Dessie 130 to 111 in ranked frames, with the last five meetings and Colm’s record against everyone.
Stats, leaderboards: this year’s table of ranked frames for all eight players, won, lost and win percentage.

94 badges. 55 to chase. 39 to avoid.

Honours for the streaks and the clearances. Shames for the nights you’d rather forget. The wall announces both.

Honours

  • Hat Trick 3 wins in a row
  • On Fire 5 wins in a row
  • Giant Killer beat the monthly number one
  • Clean Sweep beat every opponent in a session
  • Comeback King come back from 3 or more down
  • Perfect 10 10 wins in a row in a session

Shames

  • Swept Away lose to every opponent in a session
  • Bottler blow a lead of 3 or more
  • Wooden Spoon finish last 3 sessions running
  • Whitewash a full session without a win
  • Human Traffic Cone get cleared 25 times
  • Rock Bottom 10 losses in a row in a session
A shame badge pop-up over the game screen: Fran gets Swept Away for losing to every opponent in a session.

And it has opinions.

After every frame an AI commentator called The Cueman sums it up, out loud if you let him. He is not always kind.

“Dessie didn’t pot a single ball. Brushed, bagged and sent to the bar. Noel, you’re up, try not to cry.”

The Cueman

“Fran’s cue is more decoration than weapon tonight.”

The Cueman

Four ways to settle it.

Winner stays on.
Win and you hold the table. This is the one that counts for the rankings.
Race.
First to five, or seven, or whatever you agree.
Team challenge.
Two teams, everyone plays everyone, sudden death if it finishes level.
Money game.
One frame with a fiver on it. Frameball keeps the tally.

Handicaps too, for when it isn’t a fair fight.

  • A team challenge in play: The Regulars lead The Blow-ins 4 to 2, Colm v Ger at the table, with the next three match-ups.
  • A race to 7 in play: Colm leads Fran 4 to 2 and needs three more; Colm leads 48-41 all time.
  • A money game in play: Noel v Dessie, winner takes €10, with their money record so far.

The whole table in everyone’s pocket

No app store. Open the link, add it to your home screen, and the slagging can continue from the couch.

  • Live from the table.

    Who’s on the table, tonight’s standings and what the commentator just said.

  • The tables.

    This month, this year and all time, with separate tables for money games and team nights.

  • Everyone’s record.

    Win rate, head to heads and every badge, honour or shame.

    Scroll back through any session, frame by frame.

And when the table is streaming, a live banner takes you straight to it.

  • The Frameball phone app live from the table: Colm v Dessie on, Colm leading tonight 4-1, a line from The Cueman about Fran’s cue, and Dessie top of the November table on 67%.
  • Colm’s record in the Frameball phone app: 357 wins and 298 losses, 55 per cent, his last five nights, and his head to heads: 130–111 against Dessie and 57–61 against Noel.

FrameballTVOptional

Add a camera. Get a TV channel.

Frameball TV is the optional extra. Point a camera at the table and every frame is filmed, filed and ready to show off.

The Frameball live stream: a pool table seen from the ceiling camera, with the score bar along the bottom showing Colm 4, Dessie 3 and a REC tag in the corner.

  1. Record.

    Recording starts and stops with the score. Every frame is saved as its own video, named for who played and who won.

    The recordings list: tonight’s frames, each saved as its own video named for who played and who won, with flags like Brush, Special and Clearance.
    Every frame, filed

  2. Go live.

    One tap streams the table with the score on screen, and the standings and the next match-up between frames.

    The between-frames screen on the stream: Play resumes shortly, tonight’s standings after 11 frames with Colm top on 7-1, Colm v Dessie up next, and a line from The Cueman.
    Between frames

  3. Highlights.

    Mark the frames worth keeping. Frameball TV finds the long pots, the clearances and the winning blacks, and cuts them into a video for YouTube. You pick the clips. It does the editing.

    One frame in Frameball TV: the video of the table, Noel’s three in a row picked with Watch and Add to my video, and the shot-by-shot timeline underneath.

Any room with a table in it

The pub.

Give the pool table a queue, a table of its own and a reason to stay for one more.

The club.

Winner stays on, races and team nights, with standings nobody has to add up.

The games room.

The room at home that takes its pool far too seriously. Frameball was built in one, The Cueman’s Arch, and it still keeps the score there.

Fair questions

When can I get it?

Soon. We’re getting Frameball ready for its first rooms outside our own. Put your name down and you’ll hear before anyone else.

What will it cost?

We’ll announce pricing at launch. Tell us about your table now and you’ll get it first.

What do I need?

A touchscreen by the table and an internet connection. A camera too, if you want Frameball TV. We’ll publish the full kit list at launch.

Which game is it for?

UK 8-ball pool: reds and yellows on a pub table. The scoring, the stats and the badges are all built around it.

Does it referee?

No. You call the fouls and tap the winner, same as ever. Frameball keeps the score, the queue and the record. With a camera on the table you can watch a shot back on the wall before you decide.

Do the players need an app?

No. The phone side opens in the browser. Add it to your home screen and it behaves like an app.

What if the Wi-Fi drops mid-frame?

Results are saved on the touchscreen first and sent when the connection comes back, so a wobbly connection doesn’t cost you a frame.
