How it works

How PointCalc works

PointCalc turns your match screenshots and scores into broadcast-ready graphics. Whatever you’re making, it’s always the same three steps.

Step 1Create
Step 2Calculate
Step 3Publish

Every design — points table, warheads, fraggers, slot list, poster and certificate — updates automatically from your latest calculation.

Everything starts on the home screen

When you open PointCalc you land here. Every tournament you create is listed, and each one has one-tap buttons for calculating a match and for every design. The Quick Actions row up top holds shortcuts for team cards, importing and merging.

Everything starts on the home screen
01
Get started

Install & set up

A one-time setup so every design is ready to use.

Install and let the designs download

The first time you open the app it downloads its design pack. On Android you might see a quick “download additional files” message; on iPhone it just starts on its own.

Install and let the designs download

Wait for the download bar to finish

You’ll see a “Downloading designs” bar on the home screen — it looks the same on Android and iPhone. Let it finish and the full set of designs is ready.

Step one

Create a tournament

Set up your event, your scoring, and your teams.

Start a new tournament

Type a name and tap GO. Turn on Round Robin if that’s your format.

Start a new tournament

…or copy last week’s teams

Instead of starting empty, scroll down and pick a past tournament to copy its teams into a new one.

TipWhen you copy, PointCalc brings over every team (scores reset) and lists them from lowest total to highest. So the teams that didn’t make it through last week sit right at the top — delete those few and you’re left with the teams moving on. Perfect for weekly leagues where, say, the top 15 of 24 advance.
…or copy last week’s teams

Set your scoring

Choose a point system

Pick a ready-made system (BGMI or Free Fire) or set your own kill and placement points.

TipChange any number and a “Save preset” button appears. Save it once and your custom system shows up under “More” every time you create a tournament.
Choose a point system

Add your teams

Add each team

For every team add a name — logo, slot number, tags and players are optional — tap Add Team, and repeat. When everyone’s in, tap Create Tourney. The counter shows how many teams you’ve added so far.

TipIn a hurry? Type or paste one team name per line in the team box, and PointCalc creates a team from each line:Maniac Esports Team xOp Pointcalc Esports
TipTags are just a way to find a team faster later. When you calculate a match you can search a team by its name, any player’s name, its slot number, or a tag you gave it.
Add each team

Check your team list

The Entered tab shows everyone you’ve added. Tap the bin icon next to a team to remove it.

Check your team list

Step two

Calculate a match

After every match you add its results. Do it by hand, or let PointCalc AI read your screenshots for you.

By hand

Open Calculate and pick a team

On the Calculate screen you choose a team first — that fills in the fields below so you can enter its result.

Open Calculate and pick a team

Find a team quickly

Search by team name, slot number, any player’s name, or a tag, then tap the top suggestion to select it.

Find a team quickly

Set the match number and multiplier

Before you start, set the match number. Add a multiplier if this match counts for more (a ×2 grand final, say), and choose how the placement fills in as you go.

TipAuto-decrement fills the table from last place upward — handy for updating live while a match is still playing out.
Set the match number and multiplier

Keep the result screenshot in view

You can drop the match’s result screenshot into the preview and zoom into it right here — no flipping between your gallery and PointCalc while you type kills and placement.

Keep the result screenshot in view

Review what you entered

The Entered tab lists every team’s placement, kills and total for the match. Leave kills or placement blank for a team that scored none, and touch-and-hold a row to remove it.

Review what you entered

With PointCalc AI

Upload your screenshots

Two kinds: lobby screenshots (taken while everyone’s still alive) and result screenshots (with no overlays on screen). Then tap “Upload all screenshots”.

TipKeep shots clear and uncropped, with no overlays, and set the game language to English. PointCalc AI works for BGMI, PUBG and Free Fire.
Upload your screenshots

Let PointCalc read them

Once uploaded, you’ll see each slot it picked up. Tap “Update” on any slot to check or fix what it found.

Fix a slot number

If a lobby slot came out wrong, tap it and set the right slot number.

Fix a team’s kills

Tap a team to correct its total kills if the count looks off.

Fix a team’s kills

Add player kills (for Fraggers)

Open a team to enter each player’s kills — this is what powers the Fraggers and MVP designs. The first time you add each player’s name and kills; after that it fills in automatically, and you can correct anything against the screenshot.

NoteIf you skip this, PointCalc still saves the team’s points — you just won’t have individual player stats.
Add player kills (for Fraggers)

If something doesn’t match

“No team found”

Now and then the AI can’t match a screenshot to a team. Don’t worry — tap the flag and pick the right team from the unassigned ones in your slot list. If that team isn’t in the screenshot at all, the unassigned slot numbers are listed with their team names too.

“No team found”

Pick the matching slot

Choose the slot whose players match the screenshot, or set the slot by hand.

Pick the matching slot

“Missing team”

If a slot has no team at all, you’ll see “Missing team”. Tap it to add that team for the slot.

“Missing team”

Add the missing team

The form opens with the slot number already filled — name the team (add players if you like) and tap Add. PointCalc matches it and carries on.

Add the missing team

Step three

Publish your designs

Once a match is calculated, every design updates with the new numbers. Here’s each one — and how to restyle them.

Points table

Your standings. Browse Premium, Free and Custom looks, then Download.

TipSwitch between the overall standings and a single match with the chips under the preview:

Warheads

The top teams podium — first, second and third.

Warheads

Fraggers

The top individual players by kills.

Fraggers

Team poster

Every participating team’s logo and name in one image — great to share before match day.

Team poster

Slot list

Each playing team next to its slot number.

Slot list

Certificate

A winner’s certificate for the table-toppers — usually the top 3 or top 5, depending on the design.

Certificate

Restyle any design

Colour, background & game logo

Every design carries the same quick controls along the top. “Game logo” lets you swap the game branding from a “Choose any” list.

Colour, background & game logo

Recolour it

Slide Hue, Saturation, Brightness and Contrast until it fits your brand, then Apply.

Recolour it

Change the background

Download the base image, edit it however you like, and upload it back as a variant. Just keep the same size so everything still lines up.

Change the background

Zoom in & add logos

Double-tap or pinch any design to zoom in. You can also add as many images on top as you want with “Add Logos”.

TipOrganisers use this to drop in sponsor and partner logos.
Zoom in & add logos

Place your logos

Drag each logo where you want it on the design, then tick to confirm.

Place your logos

Break ties — by kills or by position

When two teams are level on points, decide whether their kills or their placement settles who ranks higher.

TipTie-breaker, explained: when two teams finish on the same points, PointCalc decides who ranks higher using this one setting. By default it breaks the tie by placement (position) — switch it to Kills here if you’d rather the team with more kills rank above. This is the question organisers ask most.
Break ties your way

More options

A few extras live here — add a team, edit the event details, set the sort preference, remove a match’s points, or change the game logo.

More options

Edit your event details

Set the event logo, event name, organiser name, sub-name and your social handles — these show on every design.

TipYou can also open this just by tapping the design image.
Edit your event details

Switch character art (Fraggers)

Fraggers uses PUBG/BGMI characters by default. Switch to Free Fire here and it’ll stay that way.

TipThe toggle is in the three-dot menu:

Quick edits on a design

Rename or relogo, just for this graphic

Inside a design you can rename a team or swap its logo for that image only.

Good to knowThis is a temporary edit — it doesn’t change your saved tournament. The permanent way is in the next chapter.

…or tweak a certificate’s numbers

On the certificate you can also adjust the shown kills and points, again only for that graphic.

Edit an existing tournament

Need to fix something after the fact? Everything is editable.

The Edit menu

From a tournament you can change the point system, add a team, rename it, delete a match’s points, or delete the whole thing.

The Edit menu

Edit a team — the real edit

This is the full team editor: change its name, logo and slot, add bonus or penalty points, and edit any match.

Good to knowChanges here are saved for good and show up everywhere — that’s the difference from the quick, temporary edits you make on a design.

Bonus & penalty points

Reward or dock a team for a specific match, with a reason. You do this from the team editor — not while calculating.

TipGreen is a bonus, red is a penalty.
Bonus & penalty points

Edit a single match

Open any past match to correct its placement, kills and each player’s finishes.

Edit a single match

Edit the players

See every match for the team, and add or change its players.

Share

Share & import

Move tournaments and teams between people and devices.

More actions

The “…” button opens backup & restore, importing a custom design, and building a tournament from a spreadsheet.

TipImporting your own custom designs is one of PointCalc’s most-loved features.
More actions

Build from a spreadsheet

Download the template, paste your data in, and import it back — handy for big team lists.

Team Cards — like a sign-up form

A Team Card is PointCalc’s version of a registration form. A player fills in their team and roster in the app and sends you the file on WhatsApp or Discord; you open it in PointCalc and import it. It’s also a neat way to split set-up work across your organisers.

Team Cards — like a sign-up form

Import a Team Card

When you import one, choose which tournament it goes into and which slot it takes.

Safety

Back up your data

Keep your tournaments safe and move them to a new phone.

On Android — Google Drive

PointCalc backs up to your Google Drive automatically (daily, on Wi-Fi) or whenever you tap “Back up now”. Restore any earlier backup from the list.

On Android — Google Drive

On iPhone — a backup file

Export a backup file and share it through Drive, iCloud or AirDrop, then import it on the other device. This file method works on Android too.

Advanced

Merging & flattening

For season-long stats that span several tournaments.

Merge tournaments

Combine two or more tournaments into one set of weekly or monthly standings. It adds up the points for teams that appear in more than one.

Tip“Optimize storage” points all the team and player logos to one shared copy, saving space on your phone.
Good to knowA merge is a live view of the tournaments underneath — edit one of them and the merged stats update too.
Merge tournaments

Flatten to edit freely

If you’d rather a merged (or any) tournament stand on its own, flatten it. It becomes a separate tournament you can edit stat by stat — matches, placement points, kill points and so on.

NoteThe trade-off: after flattening you can no longer add bonus points or change the point system.
