FAQs
What if I lose internet while scoring a game?
The platform is resilient to internet loss but does require internet to function. If you lose internet while adding a goal, etc a red banner will show up letting you know you're offline.
Anything that hasn't saved yet will show a loading spinner next to it. We keep trying to save it in the background, so once you're back online it will go through on its own without you having to re-enter it.
Don't refresh the page. Anything still showing a spinner hasn't reached us yet and refreshing will lose it.
Once you're back online give it a few seconds to finish saving before you carry on.
Use the built-in scratch pad to keep track of game events while you are offline.
Anybody viewing the game won't receive live game updates until your connection is restored.
What if I lose internet while viewing a live game?
A red banner will show up letting you know live game updates have been paused.
Live game updates will be unavailable until your connection is restored, once your connection is restored any game events you missed will be synced to your browser after a few seconds.
Does it work on my phone or tablet?
Yes! The ayrabo platform works on any screen size whether it be mobile, tablet, desktop, TV, etc. All you need is a device with a browser and internet connection.
At this time we do not have iOS or Android apps however you can add a shortcut to the home page of your device or bookmark the website for quick access.
- Go to ayrabo.com
- Navigate to the url you would like to add to your home screen or bookmark (this can be a specific team's schedule page, the league standings page, whatever you would like)
- See the references below for your device + browser
Adding to home screen and bookmarking are usually slightly different.
Adding to home screen will create what feels like an "app" on your home page, you can click this "app" to launch the site but it's really just opening up your browser with the website.
Bookmarking will likely require you to open the browser and then choose the bookmark to open the site. Some browsers may allow you to add bookmarks to your home page which would be effectively the same thing as adding to your home screen.

Do I need to install anything?
You only need to install a web browser but almost every device ships with one by default (Safari, Chrome, Edge, etc).
Is there an Android or iOS app?
At this time we do not offer an Android or iOS app.
Web based software provides the following benefits over Android/iOS apps:
- Up to date: You always get the latest version of the software when you load the site, no need to deal with updating apps
- Portability: Web browsers are installed or can be installed on almost any device and operating system, you're not
limited to a specific device or operating system
- Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android, TVs and more!
