STEP-BY-STEP GUIDES

From new league to live scoreboard.

Every screen below is the real ScoreKit product. Follow along to create your league, build out teams, players, and divisions, schedule a game, and start it live.

Step 1

1Create a League

Every season starts with a league. Give it a name, a home venue, and the game settings you want the scoreboard editor to default to — you can fine-tune everything later.

  • Set the league name, description, and venue
  • Choose the game type — basketball, and more coming soon
  • Set team size and roster size limits
  • Save, and the league appears in your League list instantly

Step 2

2Create a Team

With a league in place, add the teams that will play in it. Pick the league from the dropdown, name the team, and set a coach and contact so game-day staff know who to reach.

  • Teams are scoped to the league you select
  • Assign a division later from Division Management, once you have more than one
  • Add coach, assistant coach, and contact details
  • Upload a logo and set primary/secondary colors for the scoreboard
Step 3

3Create a Player & Add to Roster

Add a player with their name, jersey number, and position. Then use the roster icon next to any player to assign them to a team — that's what puts them on a live game's box score.

  • Player profiles hold jersey number, position, height, and date of birth
  • A player can be created without a team and assigned later
  • Use the roster icon to toggle which teams a player is on
  • Once rostered, the player shows up in the Scoreboard Editor for that team

Step 4

4Create Divisions

Once a league has more than a couple of teams, split it into divisions from the league's detail page. Type a division name, press Enter to queue it up, then save — no separate form to open.

  • Open the league from the League list to reach its detail page
  • Type each division name and press Enter to add it as a chip
  • Queue up as many divisions as you need before saving
  • Click "Save Divisions" to create them all at once

Step 5

5Add Teams to a Division

Division Management is where teams actually land in a division. Pick the league, then use each division's "Add a team" dropdown — or just drag a team card straight into a division.

  • Select the league to see its divisions side by side
  • Use a division's "Add a team" dropdown to assign a team to it
  • Or drag any team card between divisions and Unassigned Teams
  • A team already on a game schedule is locked until that schedule is cleared
Step 6

6Add a Stage

Before you can schedule a single game, the league needs a stage — "Regular Season", "Playoffs", whatever fits your league. Stages are added right alongside divisions, on the same league detail page.

  • Open the league's detail page — the same place divisions were added
  • Type a stage name and press Enter to queue it up
  • Click "Save Stages" to create it
  • The Game Scheduler can only offer stages that already exist on the league

Step 7

7Schedule a Game

With a stage and at least two teams in a division, you're ready to build the schedule. Bring the stage into the board, expand it, and add matchups division by division.

  • Pick the stage from "Add Stage" and click the button to bring it onto the board
  • Click the stage card to expand it into one card per division
  • Click the "+" on a division's card to open the matchup form
  • Pick home and guest teams, a date and time, and save — it shows up instantly, ready for the Scoreboard Editor on game day
Step 8

8Start a Game

Game day. Open the Scoreboard page, find the matchup in Upcoming Games, and hit Start — ScoreKit sets up the scoreboard and drops you straight into the courtside editor, ready to broadcast live.

  • The Scoreboard page lists every upcoming game for the league
  • Click "Start" to create the scoreboard and open the editor in a new tab
  • The game moves out of Upcoming and into the live Scoreboards list
  • Open "Live Score" from the editor to see the public LED-style board update in real time

Ready When You Are

That's your whole season, set up.

League, teams, players, divisions, stages, a scheduled game, and live scoring — that's the whole game-day workflow.
