The first thing a viewer should see is who's playing and where. The Title Card is ScoreCastr's matchup graphic: both teams side by side with their logos, mascots and records, and the venue underneath. This guide covers every field, what each template shows and when to put it on air.
What you need
- The Starter plan, for the Customization sub-tab and the Overlay Visibility panel.
- Optional: each team's record, and both teams saved in My Teams so their mascot and logo come in at match setup.
Fill in the title card for team sports
- Open the match's Control Dashboard.
- Open Overlays, then Customization, then Title Card.
- Fill in the fields:
| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Away Logo, Home Logo | Each team's logo on the card. Without one, it uses the scorebug team logo |
| Away Team, Home Team | The team names. Use the full school name here |
| Away Team Mascot, Home Team Mascot | The line under each name, like "Tigers" |
| Away Team Record, Home Team Record | Each record, like 5-2 |
| Venue, City, State | The location line, shown as VENUE - CITY, STATE |
| Sponsor Logo (Network Logo in baseball and softball) | The logo at the top of the card |
This layout is for soccer, football, basketball, volleyball, ice hockey, field hockey, baseball and softball. Logos must be images under 5 MB. Text saves a moment after you stop typing.
The Sponsor Logo here is the same logo as the scorebug's sponsor logo: changing it in one place changes both. In basketball, ice hockey and field hockey, the scorebug's Logo, if you've set one, goes at the top of the card instead.
MMA, tennis and pickleball
These sports have a different set of fields:
- Left Logo and Right Logo
- Title and Subtitle
- Player 1 Name Override and Player 2 Name Override (and Player 3 and 4 in doubles), to show a different name than the scorebug's
- Fighter 1 Record and Fighter 2 Record in MMA, for example 14-2-0
In MMA, the Subtitle is the weight class line, and the Left and Right Logo are photos of each fighter. On Classic, fill in the Subtitle and both records: an empty weight class shows sample text, and an empty record shows 0-0.
On Apex and Primetime, tennis and pickleball also get Player 1 Record and Player 2 Record, and the Left and Right Logo show as player photos. On Classic, tennis and pickleball show them as two logos beside the title.
How it looks on each template
| Classic | Apex and Primetime | |
|---|---|---|
| Layout | Logo at the top, teams side by side, venue below | Event logo, teams either side of VS, venue line with a map pin |
| Empty mascot | Shows sample text (PATRIOTS, TIGERS) | Left out |
| Empty record | Shows 0-0 | Left out |
| No venue | No location line | No location line |
| No team logo | No logo | The team's short name in the logo spot |
| Colors | The Title Card's Color Customization panel | Graphics Template colors |
On Classic, fill in every mascot and record you have, so the card doesn't show sample text. On Apex and Primetime, empty fields simply don't appear.
Show it on air
In the Overlay Visibility panel, click Show Title Card. It turns to Hide Title Card while on air. With Listening Mode on, code 1003 does the same.
A simple rhythm:
- Show the title card as the stream starts, over a wide shot of the field or court.
- Leave it up for the opening welcome.
- Hide it before play begins, and make sure the scorebug is on.
You can bring it back at halftime as a reminder of the matchup, or pair it with the scoreboard at the final. See Show and hide graphics.
Channel Assignment
Channel Assignment at the top of the Title Card section picks Channel 1, Channel 2 or Both Channels. If you run full-screen graphics on a second channel, put the title card there. See Two output channels.
Names on the card and the scoreboard
The title card's Away Team and Home Team are linked to the Scoreboard's. Changing one changes the other. Changing a name in the Score Bug section also copies the short name into both. If you edit scorebug names, set the full names here afterwards. See Edit match details.
Fix common problems
The card shows PATRIOTS or 0-0. That's Classic's sample text for an empty mascot or record. Fill in the mascot and record fields.
The record or venue won't change. It was set when the match was created, and that one takes priority. See the Watch out above.
The card shows the short scorebug name. A scorebug name change copied it in. Type the full name in Away Team or Home Team.
