input field doesn't work

I'm hoping someone can spot for me why I can't type a name into my scoreboard. The error message in the console isn't really helpful. Any help is much appreciated!

Starting line 41 you have:

  onNameChange: function(e) {

    this.setState({name: e.target.value});   // Usual boilerplate to tie form input to virtual DOM
    this.setState({name: ""});  // Then you immediately clear it
  },
