Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this scoreboard for any type of game?

Yes! Our digital scoreboard is designed to work with any competitive activity that involves scoring. Whether it's sports, board games, educational competitions, or family activities, the scoreboard can be customized to fit your needs.

How do I change team names during a game?

Team names can only be changed when the game is in "Ready" status. Once the game starts, the team names are locked to prevent confusion. You'll need to reset the game if you want to change team names after starting.

What happens if I accidentally add the wrong score?

You can use the -1 button to subtract points if you made an error. The score history will show all changes, so you can track corrections. For more complex corrections, you may need to reset the game and start over.

Question not found

Absolutely! The scoreboard is fully responsive and works perfectly on mobile devices, tablets, and desktop computers. The large buttons and clear display make it easy to use on any screen size.

Is there a limit to how many points can be scored?

No, there's no technical limit to the scores. However, for "First to Score" games, you can set a winning score limit. The scoreboard can handle very large numbers if needed for your specific game type.

Can I save or export the score history?

Currently, the score history is only visible during the current session. The history is not saved between browser sessions. For permanent records, you may want to take a screenshot or manually record the final scores.
