Sporting Designs scoreboard can be used for other sports such as Cricket, Soccer, Running Races, Showjumping and any team games. Scoreboards may have different sizes of digits and so can be seen from any distance up to 400 metres. They can easily be seen in bright sunlight. They can be operated wirelessly from over 300 meters away either by a timekeeper or even by an umpire on the field.
The fully electronic scoreboard displays the time and scores for both teams. For Running Races the time counts up from 0:00:00 and the 2 team scores are used for the number of men and women finishers (up to the first 99).
For Cricket, the scoreboard can have an almost unlimited number of values displayed such as Batsman number (*2), Batsman runs (*2), Total runs, Overs, Wickets, Last man, First innings etc. etc. Existing manual scoreboards may be converted to 'automatic' wireless control with a variety of different sized digits. The wireless remote control unit is battery powered, re-charged from the mains and may be controlled from anywhere around the ground with a range of over 200 metres. The control unit is simple and intuitive to operate with 'Batsman Out' and 'Declare' buttons to speed up operation. The UNDO button will reverse up to the last 20 operations. In case of wireless problems, the remote control unit can even be plugged directly into the scoreboard control unit for local operation. Cricket scoreboards are ideal for operation by solar panels; much cheaper and safer than installing a mains supply.

Sporting Designs scoreboard adds a great deal for spectators and players. For spectators, it confirms the correct scores at all times and lets everyone know how long there is to play as the clock counts down. Towards the end of play knowing the time to go makes the game much more exciting. For players, they can see confirmation of the scores and know when to play strategically.
For showjumping, the Sporting Designs clock connects wirelessly to an "EG Timing" showjumping timer and shows the time in large digits, visable even in bright sunlight. In future it will be able to display the competitor number and number of faults and will be able to sound the built-in horn.

The scoreboard can be operated by an umpire or a timekeeper. Click on image for a larger view |
