A scoreboard is a visual display that shows the current status or score of a sports game or event. It typically consists of numerical digits or characters that represent the points, goals, runs, or other measurements relevant to the sport being played. Scoreboards can be found in various sports venues, ranging from small local fields to large stadiums, and they are used to keep players, coaches, officials, and spectators informed about the progress of the game. Modern scoreboards may also include additional information such as the game clock, team names, player statistics, and advertisements.
