Questions & Answers
The numbers are identical on an individual basis. However, if you show a score of 57 on the front side, the back side will show 75. I hope this information is useful!
I don't think they're made of plastic, as they claim. I received mine, which appears to be plastic-coated cardboard.
You could rig it for that, but it's so small that it'd be difficult to see from afar.
The numbers are on rings that can be opened, which is correct. It's possible to arrange them so that the green represents home and the red represents visitors.

The numbers are flimsy, and they soaked up water when it rained lightly UNDER a canopy tent. The numbers are made of cardboard rather than the advertised plastic. After one use, it was ruined, and the money was wasted.
I expected it to be a little smaller, but it's well-made and simple to use. The only problem was that the numbers would blow over in strong winds. I've been using it for kid soccer games and plan to use it for girls softball games as well. It goes all the way up to 9 (the middle, where periods and innings are played), so it's suitable for both. It is appreciated by both soccer parents and children because the parents are aware of the score and can see it from afar. If you're a coach, it can help keep the kids from asking, "Coach, what's the score?" It's very easy to set up and transport. I've written our team's name over the word "home" so that it doesn't matter who is at home when I take it to an away game. If you coach youth sports, this is a great tool to have.
There are no problems at all. It only has the score on one side, but that can be fixed in ten minutes with a sharpie.
Overall, only useful for one group of people on a sideline all within line-of-sight, and numbers only on ONE side. sight. I'll put up with it because it's already the middle of the week. season, but will then be donated to Goodwill.
It's a little smaller than you think, and you'll have to keep turning it to check the score. It would be preferable if the score was also reflected on the back, allowing the scorekeeper to see what is displayed on the front.
The only problem is that even a slight breeze causes the numbers to flip over. But I'm still happy with my purchase. br>Recent changes: This item is still in good condition a year later. Rain did not cause the numbers to peel or become ruined. It's gotten wet a few times, but it's never been a problem. The fact that the numbers easily flip over due to wind is still annoying, but oh well. Maybe one day I'll upgrade to the more expensive scoreboard.
Overall, it's a very usable and readable website. It does what it should; The case/stand is a little stiff and fiddly, but it does the job. It's a joke that the top handle is so small. The number cards are made of laminated stock that will absorb water if it rains. They did, however, dry out nicely. Overall, it's a huge improvement over keeping score on a whiteboard because it's completely functional and readable.
Our youth wrestling tournament was a success because of it. Even though the crowd is small, we are visible from the stands.
