Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

Scorsta pairs with the free Arenachamp app over Bluetooth. No WiFi is needed at the ground.

Scoring and the Bluetooth connection to the scoreboard work without internet. You only need a connection to share live scores with parents by QR code.

Do parents need to download the app?

Accepted Answer

No. Each game has its own QR code. Parents scan it with their phone camera to follow the score and clock live, with nothing to install.

Question 9

What do I need to share live scores?

Accepted Answer

An internet connection on the scoring phone. Scoring itself works offline; the connection is only used to send live scores to people following along.

Question 10

Does the scoreboard have a built-in battery?

Accepted Answer

No, there is no internal battery. Scorsta runs on 12–24 V DC. A Meanwell 140 W power supply is included for mains power, or you can run it off a 12 V car battery or a portable power station.

At full brightness Scorsta draws around 4.4 A at 12 V, which is roughly 53 W.

Accepted Answer

Long press the clock to edit the time.

Question 14

Which sports have a shot clock?

Accepted Answer

Basketball (24 s), water polo (30 s) and canoe polo (60 s) all come with the shot clock set up. It shows on the main Scorsta scoreboard; separate shot clock displays are not available yet.

How are periods set up for each sport?

Basketball is 4 × 10 minute quarters, water polo 4 × 8 minute quarters, canoe polo 2 × 10 minute halves, and rugby union and rugby league 2 × 40 minute halves with junior age grades.

Question 16

The app can't find the scoreboard. What should I check?

Make sure the board is powered and Bluetooth is turned on for your phone, then open the app. If it still won't pair, talk to us and we'll help.

Question 17

Can I read the scoreboard in direct sunlight?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The display puts out over 5,000 nits, so it stays readable outdoors in direct sun.
