Set up a game day with VenueOS Sports

Create a game, get your scoreboard and ribbon ready ahead of time, then run the whole event from one screen.


VenueOS Sports turns your displays into a live scoreboard, a perimeter ribbon board, and a broadcast overlay — all driven from one operator console on your phone, tablet, or laptop.

The idea

You configure before the game, then run the game from one screen. The console has four tabs:

  • Run game — the live console: score, clock, stats, and cues. This is where you spend the whole game.
  • Highlights — feature a player or a promo on the scoreboard.
  • Set up — game status, teams, the ribbon, sponsors, and presentation settings. Do this before kickoff.
  • Roster — enter each team's players and their stats.

The other three tabs are for getting ready. Once the game starts, you never have to leave Run game.

Create a game

  1. Open the Sports section for your school.
  2. Create a game: pick the sport, name the home and away teams, and set each team's color and logo.
  3. The game opens in the console.

The sport you pick drives everything else — the clock style, the period names ("Quarter", "Inning", "Set"), the score buttons, and the stat controls are all tailored to that sport automatically.

Get ready before the game

In the Set up tab:

  • Confirm the teams, colors, and logos.
  • Configure the ribbon if you have a ribbon board — see Set up the stadium ribbon board.
  • Add sponsors so they rotate on the scoreboard.

In Roster, enter the players for each team. A complete roster powers player spotlights and per-player stats.

Put it on your screens

When you're ready, push the game to your displays — see Put a game on your screens.

Run the game

Switch to Run game and you're live — see Run the scoreboard during a game.
