How to use the standalone scoreboard

Run tablet scoreboards without an event, for a pickup night, a practice or a scrimmage, by starting a session, pairing a tablet to each court and typing in the teams.

Open Dodgeball Hub Updated November 14, 2026

The standalone scoreboard puts the same tablet scoreboards on your courts without an event: for a pickup night, a practice or a scrimmage. You start a session, pair a tablet to each court and type in the teams. For an event in the planner, use the event’s own dashboard instead, where the tablets load their games from your schedule. See how to set up scoreboards and pair tablets.

Before you start

  • Any Dodgeball Hub account can use it. If you’re signed out, the link asks you to sign in first. Your sessions are only visible to you.
  • You need one tablet or phone per court, with a web browser. It doesn’t need an account.

Steps

  1. Click the grid icon (Menu) at the top of the page.

  2. Click Standalone Scoreboard. If you have no session yet, a new one opens. Otherwise, Your Scoreboards opens: click New Session.

  3. Click the session’s name at the top and type a new one, such as the night it’s for. It’s saved when you click away.

  4. Under Courts, set how many courts you’re playing on.

  5. Click Add Court.

  6. Under Court, choose the court, then click Generate Pair Code.

  7. Scan the QR code with the tablet’s camera. The tablet shows ✓ Paired Successfully, then opens the court’s scoreboard. The window closes by itself shortly after, and the court gets its card. Pair the other courts the same way.

  8. On the court’s card, click each team’s name and type the team that’s playing. It goes to the tablet when you click away. The scorekeeper can also type the names on the tablet.

  9. Next time, Standalone Scoreboard opens Your Scoreboards, the list of your sessions. Click one to pick up where you left off. The back arrow at the top of a session brings you here too.

How it differs from an event’s scoreboard

  • The tablets have no schedule to follow, so there’s no list of games to load: type the teams for each game on the card or the tablet.
  • Scores stay on the scoreboard. Nothing is saved to results or standings.
  • The court cards work as they do for an event, including taking over a tablet. See how to control courts from the dashboard.
  • Stream Overlays on a card offers the Scorebug and Scoreboard TV overlays for your stream. See how to add stream overlays to OBS.

To delete a session you no longer need, click its bin in Your Scoreboards and confirm.
