HOW TO USE THE PRODUCT

Power Up

    (NOTE If you continue to hold the power button for five more seconds, Scorbly will enter Advanced Settings Mode. More on this later)

Upon power up, Scorbly will then test the battery power and briefly display the battery power level (1 – 10). Power level 1 the lowest while
Power Level 10 is fully charged.

After displaying the battery power level, Scorbly will begin a new game. You can now use the remote control to change the score.

Charge the Battery

The scoreboard is rechargeable through a USB Type-C connector using a certified USB power source. A USB wall adapter and charge cable are included.

To charge the scoreboard, turn off the scoreboard and connect the USB power source.

The charger status lights are located on the display unit just above the power switch. The following table describes the status based on the various LED states.
Using the Remote Control

The remote control is ready to use out of the box. Just press a button to update the score. Scorbly includes a belt clip with retractable cord that can be attached to the remote control. This makes it easy for a player to quickly update the score while on the court.


The remote control has 4 buttons labeled A, B, C and D.

B: press when team B scores a point
C: rewind through the saved scores

Keeping Score

Scorbly will update and appropriately display the point, game and set scores as you press each button on the remote control. The default set-up is configured to play 6 games per set with a 7 point tiebreaker game if the set score reaches 6-6. Play as many sets as you like (no match limit).

At the end of each game, Scorbly will display the current set score until you score the first point for the next game.

At the end of each set, Scorbly will rotate through all the previous set scores until you score the first point in the next set.

Click the play button on the following demonstration videos to see how to keep score and track who serves next with Scorbly.

Scorbly supports other score options for common league formats such as Juniors and College. Go below to the Advanced Settings section for more detail .

Mounting the Scoreboard

On the center back of the scoreboard there is a ¼” mounting point that can attach to any standard camera mounting gear. A thumbscrew is included for hanging the scoreboard on a court fence. The single attach point allows you to hang between seams of wind screens found on many court fences. Screw the thumbscrew into the 1/4" mounting point and then hang the scoreboard by guiding the thumbscrew head through a link of the fence.

There are also a vast array of other mounting options available on many online stores. Inexpensive tri-pods or fence post clamps provide excellent alternatives if fence mounting is not an option.
