Playing Graphics during a Match in LIGR Live lets you display Scorebugs, lower thirds, lineup cards, sponsor images, and other visual elements over your live video stream from the Control Room.
Before You Start
Before you can play Graphics during a Match, make sure:
• The Match has been created under a Competition
• A Theme Instance is assigned to the Competition
• You have access to the Match via the Production Link
• You have the correct permission level (Owner, Admin, User, or Gameday Operator)
Opening the Control Room
The Control Room is where you manage and trigger Graphics live during a Match.
1. Navigate to your Match from the Matches list.
2. Open the Production Link for that Match.
3. Wait for the Control Room to load the Graphics for your Theme Instance.

Understanding the Graphics Panel
Inside the Control Room, available Graphics are grouped by type. Depending on your Theme Instance, you may see:
• Scorebug — the persistent score and time graphic
• Lower Thirds — player name cards, team info, and stat callouts
• Full-Screen Graphics — lineups, formations, and match summaries
• Sponsor Graphics — individual sponsor images or a Sponsor Loop
• Image Templates — pre-designed graphics customised with Match data
Playing a Graphic
To play an individual Graphic during a Match:
1. Locate the Graphic you want to trigger in the Control Room.
2. Click the Graphic to send it live to the Overlay.
3. The Graphic will animate on according to its Theme configuration.
4. Click again (or use the Out / Off control) to remove it from the Overlay.

Playing the Scorebug
The Scorebug is usually the first Graphic you bring on and stays visible throughout the Match.
1. Find the Scorebug control in the Control Room.
2. Click it to bring the Scorebug on screen.
3. Leave it on for the duration of the Match unless you need a clean feed.
Playing a Playlist
A Playlist is an automated sequence of Graphics that plays in order.
1. Select the Playlist you want to run.
2. Click to trigger it.
3. Graphics within the Playlist will play in sequence based on the Playlist configuration.
Manual Mode vs Automated Game Plan
How Graphics play depends on the mode your Match is running in:
• Automated Game Plan — Graphics and Playlists trigger automatically based on Match events captured in the LiveScore App (for example, a goal triggers a goal Graphic).
• Manual Mode — You trigger every Graphic manually from the Control Room.
You can still manually trigger Graphics while an Automated Game Plan is running if you need to override or add something extra.
Tips
• Preview your Theme Instance before the Match starts so you know what each Graphic looks like.
• Keep the Scorebug on for the whole Match for consistency.
• If you are using an Automated Game Plan, open the LiveScore App side-by-side so you can see which Match Facts are triggering Graphics.
• Use the Monitoring Link on a second screen to confirm Graphics are appearing correctly on the output.
• Avoid stacking too many Graphics at once — let one finish before triggering the next.
Common Issues
A Graphic will not play when clicked Check that the Match is live and that the Theme Instance has loaded correctly. Refresh the Control Room if Graphics appear greyed out.
Graphics are playing automatically when I want Manual control The Match is likely running an Automated Game Plan. Switch to Manual Mode in the Match settings if you want full manual control.
Graphic data looks wrong (team names, scores, player names) Confirm that the Teams, Players, and Match data are correctly set up in your Assets. Data issues usually trace back to the Competition, Club, or Team configuration.
Scorebug is missing information Check your Data Coverage level and make sure the LiveScore App is connected and recording Match Facts.
Graphics are not appearing on the stream output Verify the Input and Destination are configured correctly in the Streaming tab and that the Overlay output is reaching your encoder or stream.
