Using iScore with sidelineHD

Prefer to score directly in sidelineHD and not use iScore?

iScore is an optional third party scoring controller. You can also use sidelineHD's built-in scoring tools to score your Baseball or Softball games instead and sidelineHD's in house scoring options are recommended.

• Basic Scoring Model – Baseball & Softball (sidelineSCORE)
• BETA- Advanced Scoring – Baseball & Softball - BETA— Use the advanced scoring experience for more detailed pitch-by-pitch scoring and built-in scoring automations.

What is iScore

iScore is a third-party scorekeeping app that integrates with sidelineHD for Baseball and Softball.

When iScore is paired with your sidelineHD team, you do all of your game creation and scoring inside the iScore app. sidelineHD receives the iScorecast feed and uses that information to update your scoreboard, display the current batter and pitcher, and generate clips from your stream.

While both iScore and sidelineSCORE allow you to identify your batter/pitcher and generate highlight videos, we recommend using sidelineSCORE. sidelineSCORE is sidelineHD's branded scoring experience included in the sidelineHD app! 

For more information on sidelineSCORE, checking out Scoring Tutorial Baseball and Softball. 

iScore is a separate third-party scorekeeping app that pairs with sidelineHD. sidelineHD will monitor your team's iScorecast feed to control your scoreboard, show who's batting/pitching and generate clips for your game. When using iScore all game creation and scoring is done within the iScore App. The iScore app will need to be paired with your sidelineHD team. 

What You will Need

• The iScore App on iOS or Android
• A sidelineHD team
• An iScore-compatible device
• An internet connection for the iScorecast feed

Things to Know

• iScore is a device specific scoring system. 
  • Every game you score with iScore, will need to use the same device that was used to pair your iScore with your sidelineHD team. 
• For specific questions about iScore, please email iScore directly: support@iscoresports.com
  • For more information about iScore, visit iScore Sports or iScore User Manual
