Put a game on your screens

Push the scoreboard, ribbon, or broadcast overlay to any paired display — one game per screen.


Once a game is set up, push it to your paired displays from the console.

The three surfaces

A game can render three ways, and you pick per screen:

  • Scoreboard — the full scoreboard: big score, clock, team panels, situational graphics.
  • Ribbon — the LED ribbon or fascia board.
  • Off — the screen returns to its normal scheduled content.

There's also a broadcast scorebug overlay for livestreams, served at /scorebug/<game-id>.

Push a game to a screen

  1. In the console, open the screen-push panel.
  2. Every paired screen in your school is listed. For each one, tap Scoreboard, Ribbon, or Off.
  3. The display switches within about a second.

One game per screen

A screen can only be driven by one game at a time. If two game days run at once, each game manages its own screens — they can't both push to the same display.

If you push to a screen another game is already using, VenueOS asks first — "Lincoln Field is showing Browns vs Raiders. Take it over?" Confirm to switch that screen to your game, or pick a different one. This stops two operators from silently overwriting each other.

Emergency override

An emergency alert always wins. If a lockdown or weather alert fires, every screen — scoreboard or ribbon — switches to the alert immediately, and returns to the game when it clears.

When a game ends

A finished game keeps its screens until you delete it or tap All off. If a screen seems stuck on an old game, that's why — clear it from that game's console.
