What is AthleticSB?
Introduction
AthleticSB allows timers to display professional in-person scoreboards at any screen size without the hassle of creating a scoreboard from scratch. AthleticSB scoreboards have a purpose, such as a "Live Track Results" or "XC Summary" board. We display the data and give timers expert-level customization options.
How it works
Open AthleticSB, log in with your AthleticNET credentials, create a scoreboard, and send data to it. It's that simple.
Data is sent to AthleticSB in various formats depending on the kind of scoreboard you want to use. See each board's documentation to learn more about how to use each board. Most boards accept data directly from AthleticLIVE. As long as you have an internet connection, you can show data on your scoreboard. Some scoreboards also accept data from local sources, such as FinishLynx. This is helpful if internet is problematic.
Scoreboards can be opened in two ways. For any board, you can click "Start" to open the board on the local computer. Or, if you're using online data, you can click "Open in Browser" to open the board in a browser at a URL you can share with others. It's also possible to copy the link or open a QR code to scan.
