F5

Enter Setup mode

Setup

• When the state indicator says "Setup", you can click on almost anything to change it.
• Set the logo before you change the team name.
• If your team's logo and name isn't in the list, please email them to me so I can add them.
• Reload the page (click "Reload" or type F5) to get back to Setup mode. Scores, timeouts, and period clock time are all saved.
• Type Space Bar or click the jam clock to begin the first jam.

Running Jams

• Press Space Bar or click the jam clock to switch between 2:00 jams and 0:30 rotations.
• Type "A" or "B" to add points to a team's score. You can also click a score to add a point.
• Type "Shift+A" or "Shift+B" to remove points from a team's score. You can also click a team logo to remove a point.

Timeouts

• Type "T" or click the period clock to enter into a timeout.
• Click a team's timeout count to remove one from it. If it's at 0, click it to reset it to 3.
• Click the period clock during a timeout to change the time left in the period.
• Type Space Bar or click the jam clock to exit timeout mode and start the next jam.

Periods

• Go into Timeout mode to re-set the period clock to 30:00. Click it to change it to a different time.
• Click the period indicator to cycle between "Period 1", "Halftime", "Period 2", and "Break".

Other cases

Halftime / Double-header break

1. Type "T" to enter timeout mode.
2. Click the period indicator until it says "Halftime" or "Break"
3. Click the period clock.
4. Enter the duration of the break.
5. Type Space Bar to start counting down.
6. It's okay to let the jam clock reach 0:00.

20-minute periods

1. During Setup or Timeout, click the period clock.
2. Enter "20:00" for the new time.
3. Click the period indicator until it displays the right period.

Advanced Tips

• Hold down the "Shift" key to make counters, logos, etc. go the other direction.
• Hold down the "Ctrl" or "Alt" key while clicking a team logo in Setup mode to provide a URL.
• Hold down the "Ctrl" or "Alt" key while clicking the period indicator to change it to any text.
• Timeouts can exceed three by clicking them while holding the "Shift" key.

Customizing

If you use this, I want to add your logo and the logos of the teams you play to the included set of logos.

The scoreboard is written in HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript, so a web designer should be able to season to taste. Send me what you come up with, I want to see it!

If you have problems

If something goes wrong, please email me (link below) with as much detail as you can remember, and I'll try to fix it for you and everybody else. For example:

I clicked the period timer during a timeout and the Team A logo turned into a photo of a burrito.

Enjoy!
