Sports scoreboards

What is a padel scoreboard and what is it for?

Scoreboards not only improve the organisation and flow of the game, but also make the experience more professional and entertaining for everyone.

Types of padel scoreboards

There are different types of padel scoreboards, manual and electronic. The former are the most traditional and the most economical, but on the other hand, they require a person to change the score, which in addition to being tedious can lead to errors. In addition, an important aspect to take into account is that they do not offer a good visibility from all points of the space, so there will be some players and spectators who, depending on how far away they are from the padel scoreboard, will not be able to see the score.

Secondly, electronic padel scoreboards are the version most in demand by customers. Thanks to the technology of their digital screens, they allow the score to be displayed and visible from all areas of the padel court and from the stands. In addition to the score, another point in their favour is that they can display additional information such as the playing time.

Electronic padel scoreboards are controlled at the touch of a button, via a control panel, a remote control or mobile apps. Have you already had a look at our EMDG PAD 3P padel scoreboard? Get it here.

Key factors in choosing a scoreboard

Size and visibility

• Screen dimensions: The scoreboard should be sized so that the score is visible from different points on the court and in the stands. In larger installations, larger screens or multiple units are recommended to ensure optimal visibility.
• Display type: LED displays generally offer better visibility, especially in low light conditions or outdoors. 

Ease of use

• User interface: An intuitive system makes it easy to update the score and reduces the margin of error.
• Control options: it is more convenient for electronic scoreboards to have remote control or integration with mobile applications, to streamline their use during the game.

Durability and resistance

Our scoreboards are made of materials resistant to impact and adverse weather conditions, and are suitable for both outdoor and indoor use.

Additional functionalities

With an integrated stopwatch, you can measure the duration of sets or the entire match, which is important especially in official tournaments.

Tips for the maintenance and use of the scoreboard

Correct installation

• Strategic location: locate the scoreboard where it is easily visible to players and spectators, but protected from direct impact by balls or players.
• Secure fixing: ensure that the device is correctly installed, whether mounted on a wall, pole or specific structure, using appropriate brackets and anchors.

Regular maintenance and cleaning

• External surfaces: clean the marker with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using abrasive chemicals that may damage the surface or screens.
• Electronic components: If it is necessary to clean electronic parts, disconnect the device from the power supply and use compressed air or antistatic cloths to avoid damage.

Protection against climatic conditions

• Outdoor use: If the display is exposed to the elements, consider installing protective covers or waterproof cases to protect it from rain, intense sun and other adverse weather elements.
• Extreme Temperatures: Avoid exposing the device to very high temperatures.
