# Connect Scoreboard Tool data to a graphic

Captivate features in-app scoreboard controllers for baseball, basketball, football, hockey, lacrosse, soccer, and volleyball. You can connect a controller to a graphic and control the scoreboard data from within Captivate or an Internet browser.

**❗ IMPORTANT**

**Which generation your variable names come from.** The per-sport variable tables below list the names used by **Scoreboard Tool**. A second generation, **Scoreboard Tool 2**, offers the same sports but uses different variable names — `Home Name` rather than `Home Team`, `Home Short Name` rather than `Home Team Short`, and a separate `Clock 1` among them.

Connect from the names you actually see in the controller’s tab. If they do not match the tables here, you are on **Scoreboard Tool 2**; the setup steps are the same, only the names differ.

## General

1. In Captivate’s playout interface, open a project (if one isn’t already open) and select a graphic in the Project List.

   **💡 TIP**\
   Want to create a new graphic? Open the Graphics Library panel and drag a design from the library to your channel, or select **File > New > Graphic** to add an empty graphic template.
2. Choose **Select a Datasource** > **Sports** > **Scoreboard Tool** and select a sport to add the Scoreboard Tool input to the graphic. The Scoreboard Tool input appears as a tab in the **Layer Properties** panel and in the Project List.

3. Click the **Link Data** button in the Preview panel to view the Scoreboard Tool Data Controller and variables.
4. Click and drag a Scoreboard Tool variable onto a design element in your graphic. Repeat for each variable.

   **💡 TIP**\
   To disconnect a variable, right-click a variable in the **Preview** panel and choose **Disconnect variable**.

5. Use the Scoreboard Controller in the Scoreboard Tool panel to drive variables in your scoreboard graphic.

**💡 TIP**\
To control the scoreboard from your Internet browser instead of Captivate’s Scoreboard Tool panel, click **Open in Browser**.

**📌 NOTE: Troubleshooting flashing digits**

If you experience flashing digits when two clock variables are running, smooth this out by:

1. Editing the graphic in the Designer.
2. Selecting each clock layer.
3. Going to the Properties panel > **Variables** > **Variable Settings**.
4. Clicking the **Animate in/out** checkbox.
5. Repeating for each clock layer that is flashing.
6. Saving changes in the Designer.

## Baseball

1. Add one of the Baseball Scoreboard templates to the Graphic Layers panel.
2. Select a Datasource for that graphic: **Sports** > **Scoreboard Tool** > **Baseball/Softball**.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://captivatehelp.newbluelive.com/play-and-update-graphics/chapter-index-3/scoreboard-tool-overview.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
