Introduction
Local Sports Live (powered by Vidflex™) is excited to introduce our new scoreboard that can be used by all Live Event Operators, or to a designated scorekeeper for any live event!
Where to Find Scoreboard
You will find the Scoreboard settings inside the single event view of a live event container under the designated Scoreboard tab.

This will then place the scoreboard interface above the preview player
