Apex and Primetime draw more than Classic: a team fouls bar in basketball, set-by-set scores in volleyball, a line score in baseball. The controls for these extras only appear on the dashboard when the match uses one of those templates, so a Classic dashboard never changes. This guide lists every extra, where its control is and what it starts at.
How extras work
- Same on both templates. Apex and Primetime have every extra in this guide. Switching between them keeps your settings.
- They're saved with the match. A show or hide choice, like SHOW TEAM FOULS, is stored on the match, so every device and every overlay sees the same thing.
- Classic ignores them. Switch a match back to Classic and the controls disappear. Switch to Apex or Primetime again and your choices are still there.
- Some are on from the start. The defaults are in the tables below.
To change a match's template, see Switch templates.

Two notes:
- Bonus rule has three choices: 7 and 10 (bonus at 7, double bonus at 10), 5, no double bonus and Off. It counts the other team's fouls. When you create an Apex or Primetime basketball match, the new-match page asks for it too. See Run a basketball game.
- AUTO SET / MATCH POINT assumes sets to 25, a deciding set to 15 and win by two. For a best-of-five match, turn it off and use the Set Point and Match Point buttons. See Run a volleyball match.
More detail is in each sport's guide: football, soccer shootouts, ice hockey, field hockey, baseball and softball.

Extras on the shared graphics
These are on the graphics every sport has, under Overlays, then Customization:
| Graphic | Control | Starts | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Halftime stats (Match Stats, Period Stats, Game Stats) | Show Comparison Bars | On | A team-color bar under each stat row |
| Talent Bar | Talent 1 Role, Talent 2 Role | Empty | A role under each announcer's name |
| Scrolling Ticker | Label and Show Label | Off | A fixed label block at the start of the ticker |
See Keys to the match and halftime stats, Lower thirds and talent and Add a scrolling ticker.
Fix common problems
I don't see the buttons. The match is on Classic, or the button belongs to a different card. Check Graphics Template under Overlays, then Customization.
The button didn't change. The choice didn't save. Check the status dot at the top of the dashboard and click again. See The status dot.
The extra is on but the overlay doesn't show it. Check the account is on the Starter plan or higher. If the plan went back to Free, overlays show Classic even though the match still lists Apex or Primetime. See Plans explained.
