About

Smart Scoreboard

Read full description

Scoreboard turns your iPhone, iPad, or Mac into a flexible, easy-to-control scoreboard for games, practices, tournaments, and debate rounds. Track scores, clocks, periods, shot clocks, possession, fouls, cards, substitutions, rosters, chess clocks, hockey penalty timers, and debate prep time from one clean control board. Show a full-screen public scoreboard on an external display, through AirPlay, or on one or more paired Remote Display devices while keeping the controls private on the operator device. Built-in presets include Simple, Basketball, Volleyball, Soccer, Hockey, Chess, Debate, and Custom Sport modes. Debate supports Public Forum, Lincoln-Douglas, Policy, and custom round formats. Apple TV can be used in two ways. You can AirPlay from the operator device to Apple TV without installing the Apple TV app, because AirPlay is treated like an external display. Or you can install Scoreboard on Apple TV and use it as a Remote Display. Apple TV Remote Display is display-only: it does not run the operator board, edit game setup, manage files, or control the score. Use an iPhone, iPad, or Mac to run the game, then pair Apple TV to show the live public scoreboard. Whether you are running a gym scoreboard, timing a debate round, managing a scrimmage, or keeping a clean public display for spectators, Scoreboard keeps the game organized and visible.
