Portable scoreboards have been released in recent years that give a team an easy way of displaying details about a game or match to the fans. A portable electronic scoreboard can be found in a wide variety of sizes, and offers many different options for customization. This flexibility allows you to order a custom portable electronic scoreboard that is designed to meet your specific needs in a color that matches your team.
Some of the options available for your portable electronic scoreboard include the basic size of the scoreboard and height of the digits. Even though these are considered portable, they can still be built quite large if needed for bigger fields. If the portable electronic scoreboard you choose is over a specific size, it will come mounted to a frame that has wheels on it to make it easier for you to move it into position for game time. These frames are typically made of aluminum that tends to be a little more expensive than steel, but will weather the elements better over the years.
The digits on these portable scoreboards are LED based and provide a very clear and bright display for all the fans to read, even in full daylight. Also, these LED’s don’t suffer from distortion if viewed at an angle and this ensures that every fan will have a clear view of the score. This LED technology is also very reliable and will last for years without the need for service, unlike older incandescent bulb based systems. Finally, the LED displays use far less power than older systems, which makes a newer portable electronic scoreboard cheaper to operate as well.
The controls for most of these portable scoreboards are wireless and this enables the score and other data to be updated from almost anywhere in the stadium. This is a major improvement over older systems that required a dedicated cable to connect the control box with the scoreboard.
In addition to the scoreboard itself, the mounting assembly allows for additional signage for school logos or sponsor advertisement to be added. This can be helpful if there were sponsors involved with funding the purchase, and allows the school to recognize them by adding signage to their portable electronic scoreboard. These signs can also be designed for ease of replacement and will allow you to change them as needed for different events.
Most of these portable scoreboards are built to be plugged into a standard outlet to operate, but can also be configured to run off batteries if needed. Because of the lower power requirements of the LED displays they can operate for quite a long time on a single battery charge and are always ready when needed.
A portable electronic scoreboard is available for all major sports as well as specialty versions for weight lifting and swimming events. These portable scoreboards represent a great solution for teams that need a portable option for updating their fans on the progress of the game. They are lightweight, very easy to operate and offer a really professional solution for your next sporting event.
