Live scoring service

Dear Cuesport Enthusiast

You are invited to utilize the services that we have created at BallStream.com for the live scoring of snooker and billiards matches. The BallStream live scoring service is free to use by all snooker and billiards clubs to broadcast live scores of their events to an international web audience. Scoreboards for all monitor sizes from giant plasma screens to mobile phones. The images below show the small pop-up window (left) and fullscreen display on the right:

The live scoring system includes many features such as photo upload and auto-sizing for display on the scoreboard, match print out showing each visit to the table, choice of scoreboard display for all monitor sizes and more. To explore these features you can create a demo scoring account online at any time. When and if you want to start broadcasting scores to the public all you have to do is send an email from the web site to confirm your club/event involvement... then all of your matches will appear in the main programme on our home page and other club sites like the one at http://www.qbsa.com.au

BallStream also provides live streaming and a video archive of snooker finals from our own servers. To date we have a collection of most of the main events held in Australia this year and if you are interested in this area I can arrange a streaming channel for your organisation and discuss the best means for live broadcasting and recording for high quality video. We also have custom software for embedding scoreboards into video files and will soon complete our “pay per view” system to enable contributors to retrieve some costs from their events.

In the meantime I hope that you find the live scoring service useful and look forward to further discussion.

Best regards

Ranking formulas

I'm currently working on new software for live scoreboard control that works locally (not requiring an internet connection) and have had some requests for performance statistics to be included. In doing this I can also include ranking formulas to select from.

For example here we use a formula that governs draw seeding and handicaps which allots points for state ranked participation, pennant participation, frames won, breaks over 40, etc. Ours is aged each year by renewing with a holdover percentage.

Please let me know what formulas you use and to which area/level to which it applies.

Overlay scoreboard on live video stream

Our video scoreboard overlay service has been available for some time.

The scoreboard area that is displayed at the bottom of a video is live scored to a web page that can be used as an overlay onto live video streams.

OBS Studio is a free video encoding software that includes plugins for adding logos and overlays... how to overlay scoreboard in live video stream.

Nice to see you're still going with this William.

I haven't done much with our scoreboards (don't fix what is not broken) or been on this forum for a while either. Only recently found my login and noticed that I hadn't included the OBS Studio support for video overlay. Currently cleaning up a new service for Event Calendars.... will post here when done.
