Softball is played over 7 innings (2 fewer than baseball's 9), with the visiting team batting in the top of each inning and the home team batting in the bottom. Three outs end a half-inning. A batter draws a walk on 4 balls or strikes out on 3 strikes, and any ball put in play can end in a hit, an error, or an out depending on how the defense handles it. If a game is still tied after regulation innings, it continues into extra innings — many fastpitch leagues place a runner on second base to start each extra inning to speed up the finish. Leagues also commonly apply a run-ahead or mercy rule that ends a lopsided game early once one team's lead passes a set threshold in a later inning, though the exact run differential and inning it kicks in varies by league and association.
The admin panel's ball and strike counters carry real force-play logic, not just a number that goes up. A 4th ball is a walk — the batter takes first, and any runners on base only advance if they're forced by an unbroken chain of runners behind them, so a bases-loaded walk correctly pushes in a run while a walk with a runner only on second doesn't move anyone. A 3rd strike records an out the same way a 3rd out from a fielded ball does: once the third out of a half-inning lands, the scoreboard automatically flips from top to bottom (or bottom to top), clears the ball-strike count, and advances the inning number. Base runner checkboxes track who's on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in real time, with quick Clear Bases and Bases Loaded buttons for fast resets between innings. The inning selector isn't capped at your regulation length either — it allows extra innings up to 3 beyond whatever inning count you configure, so a 7-inning game can run through the 10th without the scoreboard locking up.
Hits and errors are tracked as separate running totals per team, letting scorekeepers log exactly how a game unfolded beyond the raw run count. One thing worth being upfront about: the scoreboard does not automatically end a game when a mercy-rule run differential is hit. Run-ahead rules differ by league, age group, and governing body, so that call is left to the umpire and your league's rulebook — the scoreboard's job is making sure the run total, inning, and outs in front of you are always correct when that call needs to be made.
Our slowpitch league finally looks professional. Set up the scoreboard on a tablet in the dugout and everyone can see the score from anywhere in the park.

Travel softball tournaments are hectic. Now parents can check any game score from their phone instead of running between fields asking what inning it is.
