Sports scoring that drives your broadcast graphics. One person. One browser source.
Keep the book on a tablet or laptop. The scorebug and stat cards fill themselves in on your stream.
Scoring is free. The graphics are part of the Press Row Suite, with a 14-day trial and no card.
The season starts in November. Set up before your first game.

What your broadcast looks like (1:34). The real Hoops graphics page over a neutral plate, driven by live taps on the scorer's screen.
Your camera feed goes where the plate is. Or watch first: the Start here playlist, 8 videos, about 10 minutes.

1:19.7 from the first keystroke to a scorebug on screen.
Build a roster by hand, start a game, turn Live on, copy the Graphics source URL, and add it to OBS as a
1920 × 1080 browser source. That is the whole setup.
The counter in the video runs in real time from a signed-in account. The cut is shortened; the counter is not.
The URL does not change between games, so do the roster and the OBS source before game night and OBS needs no changes all season.
Hoops keeps a local copy of the game and syncs when the gym connection comes back, so a dropout does not cost you the book.

Nothing is typed twice.
The scorer's screen on the left, the stream on the right. Tap 2PT on the player who scored: the scorebug updates,
and the player has two points in the box score. A foul is one tap on the player. Top Scorers is one key.
Undo reverses a mistake on both sides.
The fan page, the exports, and the season stats come from the same taps.

A link you post. No app, no account.
Within a few seconds of a basket, the phone has the score, the quarter, and the box score. Below that:
score by quarter, team stats, each player's line, and the best runs of the game.
The fan page link and an embed code for the school website are in the Broadcast dialog.
Live sharing is part of the Press Row Suite.

What's free, what's paid, and the trial.
Scoring a game is free. One subscription turns on the graphics and sharing in Hoops and in the other three sports.
Free
$0
No card. No time limit.
✓ Live game scoring on a tablet or laptop — points, fouls, timeouts, and the box score
The trial is 14 days of everything, every sport, with no credit card. You start it from the Account page, one trial per account.
When it ends, your games, rosters, and stats stay, and scoring stays free. Graphics, the fan link, and exports pause until you subscribe.

If you already run a scoreboard overlay, here is the difference.
A plain overlay, free or paid
Shows the score you type into it. That is all it knows.
It is cheaper, sometimes free, takes less attention during the game, and you type the clock into it. If a score and a clock on screen are all you need, keep what you have.
Press Row Hoops
There is no score box. You tap the player who scored, and the score is a result of that tap.
✓ Stat cards on the stream: Top Scorers, Team Stats, Quarter Scores, Starting Lineups
✓ The fan page for parents
✓ Box score exports and season totals
The trade: you keep the book, every basket, foul, and timeout. The clock comes from a ScoreBird feed or a Clock phone; without one, the scorebug shows score, period, timeouts, and team fouls.
Scoring in Hoops is free. The graphics and sharing are the Press Row Suite, $19.99 a month or $79.99 a year, with a 14-day trial and no card.
Try both on a game night and see which one your crew wants.

Phones around the table. None of them needs an account.
One scorer on the laptop. The Clock phone runs the game clock on the scorebug. The Director phone puts Top Scorers on air,
and Clear all takes it down. The Companion phone takes rebounds and timeouts, so the scorer only watches the scoring.
The Announcer phone fires a smaller set of cards; if the two clash, the Director's board wins.
The links are under Crew phone links in the Broadcast dialog and work for that game only. Three or four people, one game, one set of numbers.

One URL. 1920 × 1080. Set it once.
In OBS, add a Browser source with the Graphics source URL, set it to 1920 × 1080, and leave the rest at its defaults.
The page is already transparent, so there is no chroma key and no background color to set.
Turn Live on for each new game and OBS needs no changes all season.
For vMix titles, the Data feed has a Flattened format: add it as a JSON data source polling once a second, then bind fields to your titles.
vMix can also take the Graphics source URL as a Web Browser input at 1920 × 1080 with a transparent background.
Step-by-step OBS, vMix, and NewBlue Captivate guides are under Help inside Hoops.

Everything else
Every screen and switch has its own short video.
Six playlists on the Press Row Hoops channel, grouped by what you are doing, plus one complete walkthrough.
In the Zero to on air video above, a roster typed by hand, a started game, and a scorebug on the browser-source page take 1 minute 19.7 seconds of real time from a signed-in account. Before your first game: create the account, build your roster (by hand, from a CSV, or by scanning a printed one), and add the Graphics source URL to OBS or vMix once. The URL stays the same all season, so game night is start the game and turn Live on.
Yes. The graphics are a browser source, the format OBS Studio, vMix, and NewBlue Captivate all support. Add one URL as a 1920×1080 browser source and every graphic rides on it, in sync with your scoring; the page is transparent, so no chroma key. Hoops also offers one-graphic-per-source URLs if you compose your own scenes, and a JSON data feed for vMix titles. Step-by-step guides for all three are under Help inside the app.
A web page that opens from a link you post, with no app and no account. It shows the score, the quarter, and the box score within a few seconds of each tap, then score by quarter, team stats, each player's line, and the game's best runs. The link and an embed code for your school website are in the Broadcast dialog. The fan page is part of the Press Row Suite.
Scoring is free, with no card and no time limit — the box score and your rosters are yours. A free account keeps 2 saved rosters and the last 7 days of games. The Press Row Suite turns on the broadcast graphics, the fan page, crew phone pages, exports, season stats, unlimited rosters and saved games, the AI roster scan, and the postgame package — in Hoops and in Gridiron, Diamond, and Volleyball.
Yes. Try everything free for 14 days — every sport, full broadcast graphics, no credit card. You start it from the Account page; one trial per account. When it ends your games, rosters, and stats stay, and you can keep scoring free; graphics, the fan link, and exports pause until you subscribe.
No. One subscription covers all four apps — Hoops, Gridiron, Diamond, and Volleyball. Subscribe inside any one of them and the other three unlock with the same login. There is no separate plan per sport.
Yes. One device scores; the rest of the crew works from phone links that need no login, found under Crew phone links in the Broadcast dialog. A Director page fires and clears graphics, an Announcer page fires a smaller set and shows live stats, a Clock page runs the game and shot clocks, and a Stat Companion page takes rebounds and timeouts. The links work for that game only. One subscription covers everyone on the production.
Hoops takes the game clock from a ScoreBird cloud feed, or a crew member runs it from the Clock phone page. If you track neither, the scorebug shows the score, period, timeouts, and team fouls without a clock.
A standard mobile connection is enough. Hoops keeps a local copy of the game and syncs when you are back online, so a dropout does not cost you the book. Your overlay in OBS is served from our servers, so the graphics on the stream catch up when your scoring device reconnects.
When a game is final, Hoops drafts three headlines, a recap in a sportswriter's house style, social lines, a player of the game, and a by-the-numbers list from the box score and any notes you add — records, rankings, a quote. A "Pick the story" step lets you choose the angle. A fact checker on your device compares every number and name in the draft against the box score and flags anything that disagrees. The writing comes from Claude (Anthropic) and can make mistakes, so check every name and number before you post. Nothing is posted for you. Each recap uses 2 of your 30 monthly AI credits. A 1080×1080 final score card is free on the same page.
Your games, rosters, and stats stay in your account, and you can keep scoring free. Graphics, the fan link, and exports pause, so export the box scores you want while you're subscribed. Resubscribe later and everything is where you left it.
High school is the core use case — one or two people covering a game, spotty gym Wi-Fi, no dedicated graphics crew. The apps work the same way for youth leagues, junior college, or any small broadcast where one person is doing everything.
