How to design a scorebug

A scorebug is the score bar that sits over your stream. Your organization can design its own, with your colors, shapes and images around the live clock, stage, team names and scores, and then choose it for each event.

Before you start

• You need to be a manager of your organization to design scorebugs.
• Choosing one for an event needs the right to edit that event’s settings.

Steps

1. In your organization’s menu, click Scorebugs.

   

2. Click Adicionar um Scorebug.

   

3. Give the scorebug a name and click Criar. Leave Largura do Canvas (px) and Altura do Canvas (px) as they are unless your stream is a different size.

   

4. The editor opens with a starter scorebug. To add a shape, click Adicionar Retângulo on the left. It appears near the top left of the canvas, selected.

   

5. Under Propriedades on the right, set where it sits and its size with Posição X (px), Posição Y (px), Largura (px) and Altura (px). You can also drag it on the canvas and pull its edges.

   

6. Pick its color with Cor de Fundo.

   

7. Turn off Fundo Claro to check your scorebug on a black canvas, as over dark video, and back on for white. The canvas is your stream’s whole picture, so the scorebug appears on your stream where it sits here.

   

8. Click Salvar Configuração.

   

9. Open your event’s planner and click Configurações at the bottom of the sidebar.

   

10. Open the Geral tab.

    

11. In Sobreposição do Scorebug, choose your scorebug. Padrão do Sistema uses your organization’s default scorebug, or Dodgeball Hub’s standard one when you haven’t set a default.

    

12. Click Salvar Todas as Alterações de Configuração. The event’s scorebug overlays now show your design: see Add stream overlays to OBS.

    

In the editor

• The left panel adds what’s on your scorebug. The live elements, such as the set clock or a team’s penalty, fill in from the court’s scoreboard during the game; each one can be added once. Formas e Mídia adds a rectangle, a circle, a triangle, or a picture from your computer with Carregar Imagem.
• The right panel edits the selected element. Text elements have Cor do Texto (Hex), Peso da Fonte and Sombra do Texto; a team name also has Posição do Logotipo and Mostrar (its name or its Sigla). Bloquear Elemento (Desativar Arrastar/Redimensionar) stops an element from moving by accident.
• The top bar renames the scorebug and zooms the canvas. Point at the question mark to see the keyboard shortcuts.
• The set clock shows on your stream only while a set timer runs.

Default and public scorebugs

• Definir como Padrão in the editor’s top bar, or Definir como Scorebug padrão para novos Eventos when you create it, makes it your organization’s default: every event left on Padrão do Sistema uses it. Only one scorebug is the default at a time.
• Público, or Tornar este Scorebug público para uso independente, lets anyone choose it, under your organization’s name, on the standalone scoreboard. See Use the standalone scoreboard.
• The Scorebugs list shows a preview of each scorebug. You can delete one only when no event has chosen it.
