1. The game comes first. The score sheet must never compete with the board or distract the players.
2. Simplicity is intentional. If something can be simpler, it should be.
3. No friction at the table. Players should be able to start a match instantly. No accounts. No setup. No interruptions.
4. Respect the tradition of the game. Crokinole has been played for generations. The score sheet should feel like a natural extension of the table.
5. Reliable above all. The score sheet must always work, always load quickly, and never fail during play.
6. The tool stays quiet. Crokinote records the match but never demands attention.
7. The design should feel familiar. If a player understands a paper score sheet, they should understand Crokinote immediately.
