I'm trying to figure out where I can purchase something to keep score that goes above my light. The only thing I've found are scoring beads that go to 50 or 100. I only need something that goes to 7 on each side. A couple of the local places in town have used a dowel rod with whiffle balls. That looks a little cheesy for my home table. I would think one of the billiard supply websites would sell something like this but I have not found anything. Is there a different name than "scoring beads" for what I'm looking for? Any suggestions one where I can find what I'm looking for?

I've got the one I used at my poolroom. Someone made it for me. It cost me $25 ten years ago and I will sell it to you for the same price plus shipping, say $5 more.
 
You should be able to find wood balls at a craft store and drill holes through them if needed.

Tinker Toys have some pieces that might work also.

If you use the binary system, You would only need 3 "switches" for 7 games, and 4 for up to 15 games. .
 
Steel cable or wire and multicoloredf whiffle balls...... golf ball size....works great4

Two coins under the head rail at the center diamond should do it. And it only costs 6 cents. The deluxe version uses a dime and a nickel but cost more. You have to decide if it's worth the extra money. :D
