We are looking to buy a cricket scoreboard but we are not sure what's available?
Buying an electronic cricket scoreboard can cost thousands of pounds and is a big investment for any size of club. Because of this type of investment, you need to ensure that you are buying what's best for your club after assessing all the available options and configurations.

Areas that need to be considered before purchase are:

Are your Basketball Scoreboards FIBA approved? - We are able to supply a range of FIBA approved scoreboards. Not all the range we supply are FIBA approved and so you should ensure that this is requested upon placing you order.

I am not sure what type of display I need, either Flip Dot, LED or Seven Segment display?
This will vary depending upon the application and environment in which it will be used.

We already have a cricket scoreboard on our ground. Can you fit your electronic scoreboard into it?
Yes, as part of our service of supplying electronic scoreboards, we can use your existing scoreboard layout and adapt any apertures to fit the electronic modules. Alternatively, we can fully replace an existing fascia, by constructing a new one and transporting and fitting it, including electronics, into your existing scoreboard.

How much warranty are the scoreboards supplied with?
All the scoreboards come with 12 months warranty, however some are on-site and some are return to UK Scoreboard Systems. You also have the option to extend the contract for either 2 or 3 years.

Our club members would prefer a scoreboard that uses a hard wired control unit.
No problem. You have the option to specify either wireless or cable control units. The Digital Information Boards are controlled via either a laptop or a desktop computer and not by control units.

Can we use an LED scoreboard outdoors?
Yes, LED technology as advanced to a stage where LED displays are equal to Seven Segment Displays. However Seven Segment displays still have benefits over LEDs, call us for more details.

Over what distance is it possible to operate the scoreboard?
Our outdoor scoreboard operate between 100 and 200 metres range depending on the model. Some of the indoor scoreboards use IR (Infra-Red) and wireless communication and so the range can differ quite significantly, please check the specification for the particular model. (Subject to conditions)

How well protected are the scoreboards against damage?
The seven segment scoreboards are supplied in an aluminium case with a vandal proof polycarbonate cover to protect the electronics against vandalism. The majority of our indoor LED systems come supplied with shock proof fascias.

What are the service intervals for the scoreboards?
No real servicing is required with the scoreboard. However if you prefer we can service your scoreboards every 12 months. This will depend upon the usage of the system.
