Adding Live Scoreboards to Your School Website

Your school's website is where parents, students, and community members go for game information. But most athletic department websites show static schedules — maybe yesterday's score, if someone remembered to update it. ScoreBird changes that with live, embeddable scoreboards that update in real-time.

Why Live Scoreboards on Your Website?

Think about game night. A parent can't make it to the gym, so they pull up the school website on their phone. With a static schedule page, they see that the game is "today at 7:00 PM" — information they already knew.

With a ScoreBird virtual scoreboard embedded on that same page, they see:

• Eagles 42, Hawks 38 — 3rd Quarter, 4:15 remaining
• Updated every time the scoreboard changes

That's the difference between a schedule page and a fan engagement tool.

What You Can Embed

ScoreBird offers several embeddable widgets for your website:

Live Scoreboards

Full scoreboard displays showing the current game state — score, clock, period, team names. Available in sport-specific designs for basketball, football, volleyball, baseball, soccer, and more.

Score Tickers

Horizontal or vertical scrolling tickers that show multiple games at once. Perfect for athletic department pages that cover many sports, or conference portals that display all games across member schools.

Stat Boards

Live statistical displays showing game stats in real-time. Points, rebounds, assists, and more — updated directly from the scoreboard controller data.

How It Works

1. Connect NeST to your scoreboard controller (or use ScoreBuddy Pro for manual scoring)
2. Choose your widget — scoreboard, ticker, or stat board
3. Customize the design — colors, layout, sport-specific options
4. Copy the embed code from your ScoreBird dashboard
5. Paste it into your website — works with any CMS, website builder, or custom HTML

The widgets are responsive, so they look great on desktop, tablet, and mobile. They load fast and don't slow down your site.

Conference-Wide Displays

Running a conference portal? ScoreBird's score tickers can show every active game across all member schools on a single page. Each game updates independently in real-time — fans visiting the conference site see every score at a glance.

Keeps Fans on Your Site

Every time a fan checks the score, they're on your website, not a third-party app. That means more traffic, more engagement, and more visibility for your sponsors and advertisers.
