Scorsync Guide

# Requirements

If the venue does not provide wifi, you can still use Scorsync if you have a hotspot (likely from a phone) to provide internet access.

# Computer

A Windows PC is already required to run ProScore or TScore. Scorsync Live can run on Windows or Mac, however Scorsync Live will only be able to connect to TScore if running on a Mac.

# Scorsync Live

Download (opens new window)

# Scorsync Account

Register (opens new window)

# Internet

An internet connection is required. Scorsync can work if the scoring network has wifi or if the computer running Scorsync Live is connected to a Hotspot.

# Network

The simplest setup is to connect all scoring computers to a traditional wifi network with internet already connected. If the wifi network is publicly accessible, it is advised to close the network to the public so that scoring is not disturbed by network traffic. Please read through the following sections to find a network setup that fits your meet.

If Scorsync Live is running off of a different computer than the main scoring server, you may need to configure the IP address in Scorsync Live so that it points to the correct computer to find the scores. Refer to the Setup Guide.

# Wifi Network

Again, this is the easiest setup. Connect your computer that is running your scoring system to the network either via wifi or ethernet and run Scorsync Live. Just be sure to check the connection and ensure you have both access to the scoring system as well as access to the internet.

# Scoring Network with No Internet, but Wifi Nearby

If you have a router dedicated to the scoring system (intranet), but there is also wifi in the venue that you have access to, you can connect to both networks using one computer. The best way to run Scorsync Live in this scenario is to run it directly on the main scoring system server. If you can connect to one network using an ethernet cord and the other using wifi, you will not need additional hardware.

  1. Scoring Network: Ethernet / Internet: Wifi If your computer has an ethernet port, you should be able to run this scenario fairly easily. Generally, windows computers resolve which adapter (wifi or ethernet) has access to the internet automatically. In the case you have ethernet plugged in and you're successfully connected to the wifi network, refer to this guide (opens new window) to manually set the network priority. In this case, wifi should be set as higher priority than ethernet.

  2. Scoring Network: Wifi / Internet: Ethernet This scenario is almost identical to above. If you're having trouble connecting to the internet, simply follow the steps above and set ethernet as higher priority.

  3. Scoring Network: Ethernet / Internet: Ethernet In this case, you will likely need additional hardware to allow for an additional ethernet port. This ethernet to USB adapter (opens new window) will likely support this scenario and enable to you connect to both networks through two separate ethernet connections. Identify which ethernet adapter is connected to which network and ensure that the adapter with access to the internet has a higher priority.

  4. Scoring Network: Wifi / Internet: Wifi Generally, you are not able to connect to two wifi networks at the same time. You will need a separate wifi adapter such as this one (opens new window). Shop around until you find one that fits your needs best. Follow the setup instructions that came with the adapter to connect to one of the networks and set your computer's standard wifi to connect to the other. Once you're connected to both networks, be sure to manually set the priority if you're having trouble connecting to the internet.

# Scoring Network with No Internet and No Wifi Nearby

A hotspot is required. This can be anyone's iPhone or Android phone that has hotspot enabled. The computer will need to have access to the scoring network and the hotspot will provide access to the internet.

If you have an ethernet connection to the scoring network, you can simply use the computer's wifi to connect to the hotspot and you should be all set up.

You can also connect to the hotspot using a USB cord following this guide (opens new window). This will be the most reliable internet connection and ensure that you don't accidentally walk away with the phone and lose connection.

# Scoring Software

Scorsync Live connects directly to your scoring software's database to read scores in real-time. The connection requirements differ depending on which scoring system you use.

# ProScore TNT (Windows)

ProScore TNT uses a NexusDB database. To connect Scorsync Live to ProScore:

Requirements:

Default Connection Settings:

Setting Value
Server 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
Port 16000
Database ProScoreTNT

If running Scorsync Live on a different computer than ProScore, change the server address to the IP address of the ProScore computer.

# TScore (macOS / Cross-platform)

TScore uses a PostgreSQL database. Scorsync Live connects directly to PostgreSQL without needing an ODBC driver.

Requirements:

  • TScore installed and running
  • PostgreSQL database server active (starts automatically with TScore)

Default Connection Settings:

Setting Value
Server 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
Port 5432
Username postgres
Password postgres

TScore is the recommended scoring software for macOS users. Scorsync Live automatically detects macOS and defaults to TScore settings.
