ScoreCastr makes more than a scorebug. Each match has a full set of broadcast graphics you can fill in ahead of time and put on air with one click. This page lists every one, so you can plan what your stream will show and see which plan you need.

Short versionEvery plan gets the scorebug. The Starter plan adds every other graphic, the Overlays > Customization tab where you fill them in, and the Overlay Visibility panel that puts them on air. Which graphics you see depends on the sport.

The graphics

The two lower thirds are called Away Lower Third and Home Lower Third in the team sports and MMA, and Lower Third 1 and Lower Third 2 in tennis and pickleball.

Halftime Stats has a different name in some places: Game Stats in baseball and softball, and in the Customization list Match Stats for volleyball and Period Stats for ice hockey.

For everything swimming shows, see Swimming graphics.

Big moments and template extras

Some graphics aren't in the list above because they play from the scoring buttons. A touchdown, a goal or a home run can take over the scorebug for a moment. See Big moments.

Apex and Primetime add sport-specific extras on top, like basketball team fouls, ice hockey shots on goal and baseball's line score. See Template extras.

Where you fill them in

Every graphic has its own section under Overlays, then Customization on the Control Dashboard. Pick it from the list on the left (on a phone, from the row of buttons at the top). Each section has:

  • Channel Assignment: Channel 1, Channel 2 or Both Channels. See Two output channels.
  • The graphic's own fields: names, logos, lineups, stats.
  • On Classic, a Color Customization panel. On Apex and Primetime, a note pointing you to Graphics Template instead. See Customize Classic graphics and Switch templates.

Changes save on their own a moment after you stop typing.

How you put them on air

The Overlay Visibility panel in the dashboard's sidebar has a Show button for each graphic your sport has, like Show Title Card. Click again to hide it. Go to Break swaps the scorebug for the scoreboard. See Show and hide graphics.

With Listening Mode on, a 4-digit code does the same from a numpad or Stream Deck:

Code Graphic Code Graphic
1001 Score Bug 1012 Home Starters
1002 Scoreboard 1013 Away Defense
1003 Title Card 1014 Home Defense
1004 Lower Third 1 (away) 1015 Watermark
1005 Lower Third 2 (home) 1016 Talent Bar
1006 Keys to the Match 1017 Talent
1007 Away Player Bio 1018 Away Player Stats
1008 Home Player Bio 1019 Home Player Stats
1009 Away Pitcher Stats 1020 Halftime Stats
1010 Home Pitcher Stats 1021 Scrolling Ticker
1011 Away Starters

See Set up a Stream Deck.

Every template has every graphic

Classic, Apex and Primetime each draw all of these graphics for all twelve sports. They use the same fields, so you fill a graphic in once and it works on any template. The look and the position on screen change from one template to another. See Switch templates.

On the Free plan

Free includes the scorebug for every sport, on Classic, and it's on air from the start. The Customization tab and the Overlay Visibility panel show as dimmed previews with Upgrade Now, so the other graphics can't be filled in or shown. See Plans explained.

Checklist

  • Graphics you want picked from the table
