Tips for Using the Scoreboard

  • Set team names and period length before the game begins so the display is ready at kickoff.

  • Keep the scoreboard on a stable surface and use the counter controls for fouls or bonus stats.

Designed for display

The large numbers and high-contrast layout are designed to be readable from across a room, whether on a phone held up as a courtside scoreboard or on a TV connected to a laptop. Team colors make it instantly clear who is who.

Timer and periods

Choose from the visible 5, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, and 45 minute period presets. The countdown stops at zero. Use Next Period to reset the timer and advance the period counter without affecting the score.
