Power Up

The power button is located on the lower front left corner of the scoreboard.

TURN ON :

  1. Press and hold the power button *
  2. Release when you hear the beep and/or see dashes. 

TURN OFF :

  1. Press and hold the power button *
  2. Release when you hear the beep and/or the display turns off 

(*) 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 levels 9-10 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.

    A fully charged battery should provide 3+ hrs of play. It takes about 3 hrs (using the provided USB power adaptor) to fully charge a depleted battery. The charger will not overcharge the battery - e.g. you can leave the unit attached to the charger overnight and it will not damage the unit. The battery will not over discharge - e.g. you can run it until it shuts itself down and it will not damage the unit.

    To charge the scoreboard, turn off the scoreboard then 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.

    Keeping Score with 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.

    A: press when team A scores a point
    B: press when team B scores a point
    C: rewind through the saved scores
    D: return forward though the scores
         (You can enter program mode to change or restart the game if you
          press D five times.  This feature was added in Nov 2024)

    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.

    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.
