Abstract

An integrated sports scorekeeping and entertainment system (101, 102, 103). The system accepts game information from manually operated scorekeeping devices (100- 4c, 100-4d, 100-8, 100-7) and automatic performance content generation sub-systems (201), for combining into either control commands and / or information that outputs to scoreboards (100-3), primary lighting systems (100-L and 400-J8a), secondary lighting systems (400-J8b), music systems (400- J5), video systems (400- J6), goal score indicators (400-J7), dynamic advertising displays (400-J9), etc. The system (101, 102, 103) includes a universal scoreboard interface (100-6) that inputs pertinent game information in the form of a virtual scoreboard for translation into the physical signals for controlling the scoreboard (100-3), without the need or use of the Scoreboard's native control console (100-2).
