The Scoreboard format is a Pro feature added by the SportsPress Scoreboard module. It displays events in a horizontally scrolling ticker strip, similar to sports broadcast scoreboards.
​

This feature is part of SportsPress Pro.
​

Events are laid out side by side in a single horizontal row inside a fixed-width viewport. Left and right arrow buttons scroll the strip forward and backward by a configurable number of events at a time. Each event card shows the competing teams (with optional logos) and the result or kick-off time. Clicking an event card navigates to the event page.
​

Optional metadata — date, time, league, season, and venue — can be shown above the team names inside each card.
​

The event whose page is currently being viewed receives the CSS class sp-highlight on its card.
​

Global scoreboard settings live at Events > Settings, under the Scoreboard section. Each setting has a corresponding shortcode parameter that overrides it per-instance.
​

Details controls which metadata lines appear inside each event card:
​

Date Format (sportspress_scoreboard_date_format, default: M j) — PHP date format string used to format the date when Date is enabled. For example, M j produces "Apr 25".
​

Display logos (sportspress_scoreboard_show_logos, default: off) — show team logo images (featured images) alongside team names inside each card.
​

Display (sportspress_scoreboard_limit, default: 0) — maximum number of events to show in the scoreboard. 0 means no limit. This setting also controls how many events appear in the site header scoreboard (if the header feature is active).
​

Width (sportspress_scoreboard_width, default: 180) — width of each event card in pixels. Minimum value: 50.
​

Scroll (sportspress_scoreboard_step, default: 2) — number of events the strip advances with each arrow button click. The pixel distance scrolled equals Width × Scroll.
​

When used without an id, the scoreboard automatically shows a mix of the most recent past events and the nearest upcoming events, centered on today. When an id is provided, the scoreboard uses that calendar's filter settings.
​

When Display is set to a non-zero value, the scoreboard also appears automatically in the site header (inside the sportspress_header action hook). This is independent of any calendar post; it queries events globally using the limit value. Themes that declare add_theme_support( 'sportspress' ) suppress this behavior.
​

The id parameter is optional. Omitting it renders a global scoreboard using the limit and settings from the Scoreboard section of Event Settings.
