<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>
|
||
|
|
When the period clock is gray, you can click on almost
|
||
|
|
anything to change it.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>
|
||
|
|
Press Space Bar or "J", or click the jam timer, to begin a jam.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>
|
||
|
|
Press "A" to give a point to team A, or "B" to give a point to
|
||
|
|
team B.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>
|
||
|
|
Press "Shift+A" to deduct a point from team A, or "Shift+B" to
|
||
|
|
deduct a point from team B".
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>
|
||
|
|
Press Space Bar, "R", or "L"; or click the jam timer, to end a
|
||
|
|
jam.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>
|
||
|
|
Press "T" or click the period clock for a timeout. This turns
|
||
|
|
the period clock gray: you can adjust elements (period clock,
|
||
|
|
scores, etc.) during timeouts by clicking them.
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>

<h1>Getting Started</h1>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<img src="sb1.png" alt="Scoreboard startup">
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
When you first load the scoreboard, it will reset to some default
|
||
|
|
values. You can begin using it right away if you like, but you
|
||
|
|
will probably want to change the team names and logos first.
|
||
|
|
Until you start the first jam, and during timeouts, almost
|
||
|
|
everything on the screen can be edited by clicking it.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Set up team names and logos</h2>
|
||
|
|
<img src="sb2.png" alt="Scoreboard with team names">
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Click on a team name to change it, then click a team logo to
|
||
|
|
provide a URL for that team. You can copy and paste the URL of
|
||
|
|
any image you find on the Internet, but it's probably best to
|
||
|
|
download images to your hard drive so that your scoreboard doesn't
|
||
|
|
depend on an Internet connection to operate.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Adjust period clock and period number</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The period clock defaults to 30:00 the first time the scoreboard
|
||
|
|
loads, but will use whatever value it last had from then on. If
|
||
|
|
you want to set the period clock to something else, click it and
|
||
|
|
type in the new time.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
You can also click the period indicator to change from Period 1 to
|
||
|
|
Period 2.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Adjust team scores</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Clicking on a team's score brings up a dialog box to adjust their
|
||
|
|
score.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Put the scoreboard on the projector</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
When everything is set up the way you want it, drag the browser
|
||
|
|
window to whatever screen is being projected, and make the browser
|
||
|
|
full-screen (usually the F11 key, or in the View menu).
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h1>Running a bout</h1>
|
||
|
|
<img src="sb3.png" alt="Scoreboard with team names">
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The scoreboard was designed to be easy to operate with the
|
||
|
|
keyboard: you can just hit space bar most of the time, with "T"
|
||
|
|
for timeouts, use "A" and "B" to award points, and "Shift-A" and
|
||
|
|
"Shift-B" to deduct points.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Starting a jam</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
When the ref signals the start of the first jam (one short
|
||
|
|
whistle), start the jam timer by clicking on it, or typing Space
|
||
|
|
Bar or "J". You're off! The state indicator will show "Jam" and
|
||
|
|
the jam timer will count down from 2 minutes.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Awarding or deducting points</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
To award points to teams, click on the team's score or type "A" or
|
||
|
|
"B". You can award points during a jam or between jams.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
To deduct points, click on the team's name or logo, or type
|
||
|
|
"Shift-A" or "Shift-B". Points can be deducted during a jam or
|
||
|
|
between jams.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Ending a jam</h2>
|
||
|
|
<img src="sb4.png" alt="Scoreboard between jams">
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
When the ref signals the end of the jam (four short whistles),
|
||
|
|
click the jam timer again, or type Space Bar, "R", or "L". The
|
||
|
|
state indicator will show "Rotation" and the jam timer will count
|
||
|
|
down from 30 seconds.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>Timeouts</h2>
|
||
|
|
<img src="sb5.png" alt="Scoreboard during timeout">
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
For any timeout, be it a team timeout or official timeout, click
|
||
|
|
the period clock or type "T". This changes the state indicator to
|
||
|
|
"Timeout", pauses the period clock, and makes the jam timer track
|
||
|
|
how long the timeout has lasted by counting up from 0.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Team timeouts are only supposed to last one minute. It's the
|
||
|
|
referee's responsibility to signal the start of the next jam, and
|
||
|
|
the period clock shouldn't start counting down again until this
|
||
|
|
happens.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h1>Making changes during a bout</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
If you need to adjust the period clock or make major adujustments
|
||
|
|
to team scores, you must first enter a timeout by clicking the
|
||
|
|
period clock or typing "T". When in timeout, the procedure for
|
||
|
|
making changes things is the same as during setup.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h1>If the browser exits</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Shit happens. So every second, the scoreboard saves its state to the
|
||
|
|
browser's long-term storage using the
|
||
|
|
HTML5 <code>localStorage</code> object. The following information
|
||
|
|
is stored, and will come back the way it was when the browser exited:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Period clock time</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Team names</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Team logo URLs</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Team scores</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
It is a good idea to verify that your browser actually stores this
|
||
|
|
information around before you run a bout, by starting a pretend
|
||
|
|
jam, exiting, then re-opening.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h1>Customizing the display</h1>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The scoreboard is written in HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript. If you'd
|
||
|
|
like to try your hand at graphic design, feel encouraged to do
|
||
|
|
so. Just remember to keep the <code>onclick</code>
|
||
|
|
and <code>id</code> attributes in elements that have them, and
|
||
|
|
everything should continue to work.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
If you come up with a new design, or code improvements, I'd love
|
||
|
|
to see it!
|
||
|

I clicked the period timer during a timeout and the Team A logo
