halftime score

Break period count

The halftime score is the tally of points for each team at the midpoint of a game, when play pauses for an extended break.

In sports betting, halftime scores are a common wager: The halftime score was 14-10, but they came back to win.

The term applies mainly to sports with two distinct halves—football, basketball, soccer.
