Operating Scoreboards

This page links to a bunch of sub articles going into detail about the heart of the scoreboard system, the scoreboard controller. There are many different models of controllers, made by different scoreboard manufacturers.

Scoreboard controllers generally consist of numerous buttons to control the scoreboard. These buttons generally consist of general clock controls (time), team controls (score, penalties) and a numeric keypad for entering numbers.

Often controllers also have an LCD or LED screen showing game and input information.

Some rinks have optional hand held start/stop switches for their controllers.

These articles go into detail about how each model of controller works, and how to perform various functions on the controller.

If you happen to know more than I do about the operation of a particular controller, please feel free to contribute and edit these pages!
