Two Division I leagues, switched on independently, each with its own teams and its own board. Top 25 scopes keep a hundred-game night readable, and in March the men’s bracket joins the rotation with live scores on it.
Division I plays more games in a night than any other sport on the board, and it plays two of them — men’s and women’s. Both are here, and they are kept apart on purpose.
Men’s and women’s Division I are two leagues in the control panel, not one setting. Turn on either, or both, follow teams in each, and give each its own board scope — so a screen can carry the whole women’s Top 25 and just your men’s team, or the other way round.
All league guidesThe Smart Scoreboard fits up to eight games on a slide, and neither college league offers an “every game” scope, because a midweek card is far too long for one. You choose Notable (ranked matchups), My teams & notable, or My teams. Ranked games lead the board, and the teams you follow lead them.
See a board runningStandings slides cover every Division I conference on both sides — 31 men’s and 31 women’s — so a mid-major table gets the same treatment as a power conference. The AP Top 25 is a table of its own alongside them.
College football guideChoose a scope per league, then a window, then decide what March looks like. Everything is set from your phone while the screen keeps running.
The window setting decides how far the board looks, and in a sport that plays every night it changes the screen more than anything else.
In March there is one more thing to switch on: the men’s tournament bracket. It adds region bracket slides, a Final Four slide, and a “My teams” view that shows only the bracket lines your teams are on — and during the tournament the live scores are laid over the bracket itself, so you can see a 12 seed leading at the half in the position where the upset would land. Scores refresh while games are live, typically within a minute of the action.
A weeknight card and a tournament Thursday ask different things of a screen. Both are covered by hardware you already own.
Eight games a slide, and a bracket that is worth seeing whole, both want the biggest screen in the room. Install from Google Play on an Android TV or Google TV and approve a short code from your phone — no password typed with a remote. The Android TV setup guide covers it.
Beside a chair or on a desk, the full-screen game cards are the better read: score, clock, the period the game is in, and the tip-off time in your own zone. An iPad needs no install — add the site to the home screen and it launches full-screen, as the iPad setup guide explains.
TickrDash asks the device to keep the screen awake while the ticker is showing, which matters on a night that runs from six until well past midnight. A browser tab on a laptop or spare monitor works the same way with nothing to install.
The men’s tournament bracket, yes: region brackets, the Final Four, and a “My teams” view filtered to the lines your teams are on. During the tournament live scores are overlaid on the bracket, so a game in progress is visible in the slot it will fill. It is a setting you switch on, so it only takes up rotation time in March.
All of Division I on both sides — 31 men’s conferences and 31 women’s — plus the AP Top 25 as its own table for each. Turn on the conferences you want as standings slides and leave the rest off; they cycle in between the games rather than taking a screen of their own.
Because the games are structured differently. The men’s game is two halves and the card shows the half; the women’s game is four quarters and the card shows the quarter. Everything else — score, clock, tip-off time in your own time zone, both crests — behaves the same on both.
