How to set up scoreboards and pair tablets

Each court can have its own scoreboard: a tablet at the court that runs the clock and keeps the score of the game being played there. You pair each tablet with its court from your event’s 计分板仪表盘, which then follows every paired court live, in one window.

Before you start

• You need to manage the event or its scoreboards.
• You need one tablet or phone per court, with a web browser. It doesn’t need a Dodgeball Hub account.
• The dashboard has one court for each court of your event. See how to change the number of courts.
• Generate your schedule first: each tablet loads its court’s games from it. See how to generate your schedule.

Steps

1. In your event’s planner, click 计分板仪表盘 in the sidebar, under 活动日. The dashboard opens in a new tab.

   

2. Click 添加球场.

   

3. Under 场地, choose the court the tablet is for. The list only offers courts that don’t have a tablet yet.

   

4. Click 生成配对码.

   

5. Scan the QR code with the tablet’s camera. The tablet shows ✓ 配对成功, then opens the court’s scoring screen with the court’s first game loaded.

   

6. The window closes by itself shortly after the tablet is paired, and the court gets its card on the dashboard, showing the game the tablet has loaded. Pair the other courts the same way.

   

What the dashboard shows

• 启用 at the top counts the courts with a paired tablet, out of your event’s courts.
• Each paired court has a card with its game, score and clock. You can run a court’s tablet from its card: see how to control courts from the dashboard.
• 平板电脑设置 sets how every tablet times a game: halves, half-time, timeouts and more. See how to set scoreboard timer rules.
• 直播叠加层 on a card puts that court’s live score on your stream. See how to add stream overlays to OBS.

Unpair a tablet

Click 撤销访问 on the court’s card. The tablet shows 访问已撤销, and the court goes back to the list of courts you can pair. Do this for a tablet that’s lost, or before you pair a tablet to a different court.
