Digital billiards scoreboard
TargaScore – The complete billiards scoreboard
TargaScore is a digital scoreboard and management system for billiards. The scoreboard runs on a television or display in the room; matches, players and settings are managed centrally in the admin portal. Everyone can see the score at a glance, without paper, a chalkboard or mental arithmetic.
What is TargaScore
A scoreboard on the television, managed centrally
The screen in the room shows the match; the admin portal keeps the players, matches and settings. Two parts that together form one system.
Casual matches
Just start a game right away. Player A against Player B, like the wooden scoreboard of old.
Player lists
Create groups and player lists with target scores, game type and average.
Leagues
Save matches straight into your league and publish them on your own website.
Live score
Follow the score in real time on your own website.
Remote control
Operate the scoreboards from the tournament room and prepare rounds in advance.
Shot clock
The shot clock familiar from three-cushion billiards, with automatic time-outs.
Warm-up time
A clock that keeps players and spectators informed of the warm-up time.
Sponsoring
Show sponsor logos and let your scoreboard earn its keep.
Photo show
Present photos during the interval or on other occasions.
Who is it for
From club night to tournament day
Clubs, billiards centres, hospitality venues and competition organisers all use the same scoreboard, each in their own way.
Recreatief gebruik
- The situation
- Vrij spelen zonder ingewikkelde instellingen of gedoe. Direct punten tellen met de muis.
Billiards clubs
- The situation
- On club nights and in internal leagues the score is often still kept on paper or on a chalkboard. Results get lost and keeping track costs someone time every evening.
Toernooien
- The situation
- Vanachter de pc kan de wedstrijdleider de partijen per ronde op de scoreborden zetten en zodoende de partijen aankondigen.
