Electronic virtual sports scoreboard system that provides event alerts, video highlights and statistics to social media and other web-based distributions systems with minimal effort required of the scorekeeper

摘要

A system for scoring and timing sports events that maximizes fan experience through virtual access to statistics, real-time scoring, and significant event alerts with video by social media or Internet web access—with minimal extra work required so that a single scorekeeper can run the system. Watching the event live by streaming video is also an option.

主权项

1. This invention includes a new and useful process whereby a scorekeeper at a sports event, making the normal inputs that would normally operate a scoreboard, is assisted by software so that content about the event is automatically pushed to the Internet and social media, without extra inputs or work performed by the scorekeeper. The inputs of the scorekeeper make a virtual scoreboard available to fans on mobile devices or computers on the Internet, providing the same kinds of event information that would be displayed on a physical scoreboard.
