Scoreboard Widget Controls

Control Your Scoreboard in Real Time

The Scoreboard Controls page is the command center for managing your live tournament stream. From this single interface, you can update player names, adjust scores, swap sides, and advance matches — all reflected instantly on your OBS widget overlay.

Accessing the Controls Page

Navigate to your Tournament Dashboard and click Scoreboard Controls in the sidebar. This opens a dedicated control panel designed for quick, error-free updates during a live broadcast. The controls page is optimized for speed — every action is a single click or tap, and changes propagate to the widget within milliseconds via WebSocket.

You can open the controls page on a separate device like a phone or tablet, leaving your main computer free for the stream. The responsive design adapts to any screen size.

Updating Scores During a Stream

The controls interface displays both players side by side with large, easy-to-tap score buttons:

• Plus and minus buttons next to each player score for quick adjustments
• Player name fields that can be edited on the fly if you need to correct a name
• Game counter showing the current game number in a set
• Character selectors to display which characters each player is using
• Round indicator showing the current tournament round (Winners Finals, Losers Semis, Grand Finals, etc.)

Quick Actions

The controls page includes several quick-action buttons for common operations:

• Swap Sides — Instantly switches Player 1 and Player 2 positions, useful when players change sides between sets
• Reset Scores — Zeros out both scores for a new set
• Advance Match — Marks the current match as complete and loads the next match from the bracket
• Toggle Camera — Shows or hides the player camera overlay on the widget

Match Queue

Below the active match controls, you will see the Match Queue — a list of upcoming matches pulled from the tournament bracket. You can drag and drop matches to reorder the queue, or click on any match to load it into the active scoreboard. This is particularly useful during top 8 or when you need to prioritize certain matches for the stream.

Keyboard Shortcuts

For streamers who prefer keyboard controls, the following shortcuts are available:

• Q / W — Increment Player 1 / Player 2 score
• A / S — Decrement Player 1 / Player 2 score
• R — Reset scores
• X — Swap sides
• Enter — Advance to next match

Multi-Device Support

Multiple people can access the controls page simultaneously. This is useful for tournament setups where one person handles commentary while another manages the scoreboard. All changes sync in real time across all connected devices.

The scoreboard controls are designed to make tournament streaming as smooth as possible, letting you focus on the action instead of fumbling with overlays.
