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 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.

Setting the Score Format

Scorbly Volleyball is initially set-up to play a 15 point Beach Volleyball score format. You will need to change the settings if you want another Volleyball score format. Scorbly will remember these settings and you will never need to update them unless you want to again change the score format.

The score format settings and how to change them are explained in the Advanced Settings section below.

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.

TEAM A should be the team that serves first at the beginning of the MATCH.

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

A: press when team A wins the serve/rally *
B: press when team B wins the serve/rally *
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)

(*) NOTE for games with "side-out" scoring (i.e. 15pt Beach Volleyball): Press A or B once after each serve/rally, even if no point is awarded. For example, if Team A misses a serve, press button "B". Scorbly will determine if a point is awarded or if there is a change in server possession. \

Scorbly Volleyball works like other Scorbly Products. See the "Keeping Score" and "Replay / Correct Score" demonstration videos for Scorbly Tennis to see how it works.

Which Team Serves Next?

For side-out scoring (i.e. for Beach Volleyball) Scorbly will track who is serving and award points only if the serving team wins a rally, but you must ensure that Team A (the top display) is the first team to serve in the match.

Also, at the beginning of the following sets, the team that did not serve first in the previous set, shall serve first. 

For rally scoring, this is not important because points are awarded regardless of which team is serving.

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.
