Scoring & sports

The venue scoreboard isn’t sending scores

Quick answer

Usually the scoreboard ID on the event is wrong or left over from another game, or the board isn’t running yet. Test the ID in Score Ticker before you look anywhere else.

Check this first

  1. 1
    Check the tile and the ID

    In Studio → Content → Events, open the game. The venue scoreboard tile (the logo tile beside the Roku tile) must be on, with the scoreboard ID filled in under it.

  2. 2
    Paste the ID again

    Copy it fresh from your venue’s scoreboard system. One wrong character means no data.

  3. 3
    Test the ID

    Go to Studio → Ticker → Score Ticker, open a match or create one with NEW MATCH, tick the live scores checkbox below the two teams, enter the same ID and press TEST LIVE.

  4. 4
    Read the result

    A confirmation that live data was received means the ID works. A no-live-data message means the ID is wrong or the board isn’t sending yet.

  5. 5
    Check for a phone scorer

    If the live scoring tile is also on and a scorer has started, their numbers show instead of the board’s.
