Where it fits
- School and club basketball games that need a clear live score display.
- Rec league streams where volunteers handle production and scorekeeping.
- Gym displays running on a TV, projector, or computer browser.
- OBS scenes that need a readable basketball scoreboard overlay.
A practical basketball workflow
- 1
Create a basketball board
Start from the OmniScore home page and choose Basketball 5v5.
- 2
Set up teams before the game
Use the Owner Console to configure team names, colors, and scoreboard presentation.
- 3
Put the Viewer on screen
Open the Viewer page in OBS, on a gym display, or on a production machine.
- 4
Score from the best device
Update the game from the Owner Console or send a Shared Control link to the scorer on the sideline.
Why use software instead of dedicated hardware
Dedicated scoreboard hardware is useful for permanent venues, but many games only need a reliable display for a stream, classroom, temporary gym, or tournament setup. A browser-based scoreboard keeps the setup portable and easier for volunteers to operate.
FAQ
Can OmniScore replace a physical basketball scoreboard?
For many small events, streams, and temporary displays, yes. Permanent venues may still use dedicated hardware, but OmniScore is built for flexible browser-based display and remote control.
Can a separate person keep score?
Yes. The board owner can share a Shared Control link with a trusted scorer while the Viewer remains on the stream or gym display.
