Netball Scoreboard

Netball is a ball sport played predominantly in Commonwealth countries. Two teams of seven players compete to score goals by passing the ball and shooting it through a raised ring on a post. Unlike basketball, players cannot dribble or move while holding the ball. Read about the sport in the Wikipedia netball article; the world body is World Netball.

Scoreboard Setup

This preset uses a countdown timer with four 15-minute quarters. The board tracks each team's score, current quarter, infringements (via the fouls counter), and timeouts. Each team receives up to 2 timeouts per game, typically taken between quarters or during stoppages.

Key Rules at a Glance

Scoring - 1 point per goal. Only two positions may shoot: Goal Shooter (GS) and Goal Attack (GA). Shots must be taken from within the semi-circular goal circle.

No Moving with the Ball - Players must pass within 3 seconds and cannot take more than 1.5 steps while holding the ball. This footwork rule is fundamental to the sport and creates a passing-focused game.

Court Zones - The court is divided into thirds. Each position is restricted to specific zones - for example, the Goal Keeper can only operate in the defensive third and goal circle. Entering a restricted zone is an offside violation.

Contact & Obstruction - Players must stand at least 3 feet (0.9 m) from the player with the ball when defending. Contact that interferes with play results in a penalty pass or penalty shot to the opposition.

Run the Board From the Admin Preview

The admin page shows a live preview of the scoreboard with click controls baked into every active section, so a full game can be driven from the preview alone, without going back to the side panel.

Timer - Click the clock on the board to start or stop. The dedicated Start / Pause buttons in the side panel still work for the same actions.

Score - Left-click a team's score to add one. Right-click the same number to subtract one.

Period - Click the period indicator to advance to the next quarter, half or set.

Possession - Click the possession arrow to cycle between none, home and visitor.

Fouls and Timeouts - Left-click to add one, right-click to remove one.

Shot Clock - Left-click resets to the full duration (24 by default), right-click resets to the short value (14 by default).

Anything that reacts to a click turns the cursor into a pointer and brightens on hover, so the interactive zones are obvious without trial and error. Press the Full Screen button on the admin page to hide every panel except the board itself. A small floating toolbar stays pinned at the bottom of the screen with a fullscreen toggle marked F11, zoom out, a reset-zoom button showing the current percentage and the Ctrl -/+ hint, zoom in, and a close button. The same laptop now doubles as the venue display while the operator keeps driving the game through the preview clicks. The site logo at the top left always links back to the home page, so you can jump between match, tournament or standings tools without losing your place.
