The Scorebug is the persistent on-screen graphic that displays the live score, match time, and team information during your broadcast, and the Control Room is where you manage when and how it appears.
What the Scorebug Does
The Scorebug is one of the core Graphics in LIGR Live. It sits on top of your video Stream as an Overlay and updates automatically as Match Facts are recorded (for example, when a goal is scored in the LiveScore App).
In the Control Room, you can:
• Show or hide the Scorebug at any time
• Let an Automated Game Plan control it for you
• Trigger it manually in Manual Mode
• Monitor how it appears live on your output

Accessing the Control Room
1. Open the Match you want to operate.
2. Click the Production Link to launch the Control Room.
3. Wait for the preview and Graphics panel to load.
If you only want to watch the output without controlling it, use the Monitoring Link instead.
Managing the Scorebug in Automated Mode
When your Match uses an Automated Game Plan, the Scorebug behaviour is already defined for you.
1. In the Control Room, confirm the Game Plan is set to run automatically.
2. The Scorebug will appear at the start of the Match and update as Match Facts come in from the LiveScore App.
3. If you need to override what the Game Plan is doing, you can still hide or show the Scorebug manually from the Graphics panel.

When the Scorebug Updates Automatically
• A goal is recorded in the LiveScore App
• The match clock starts, pauses, or resets
• A period change occurs
• Team information is updated before the Match
Managing the Scorebug in Manual Mode
In Manual Mode, nothing appears on screen unless you trigger it. This gives you full control over the Scorebug.
1. Set the Match or Game Plan to Manual Mode.
2. Open the Control Room.
3. Find the Scorebug in the Graphics panel.
4. Click the Scorebug to show it on the output.
5. Click it again to hide it.
You are responsible for timing every appearance, so plan ahead for kick-off, half-time, and full-time.
Checking the Scorebug Output
Use the preview area in the Control Room to confirm the Scorebug looks correct before and during the broadcast. You can also open the Monitoring Link in a second browser tab to see exactly what viewers see.

Tips
• Test the Scorebug in a practice Match before going live, so you know how it behaves with your Theme Instance.
• If your Competition uses a custom Theme, confirm the Scorebug styling matches your branding before kick-off.
• Keep the LiveScore App operator in sync with the Control Room operator so score updates feel instant on screen.
• Use the Monitoring Link to spot-check the Scorebug without interrupting the Control Room operator.
Common Issues
The Scorebug is not updating the score. Check that the Live Scorer is recording Match Facts in the LiveScore App and that they are connected to the correct Match.
The Scorebug is not appearing on the Stream. Confirm the Input is connected, the Graphics are running over the correct Overlay output, and that the Scorebug has been triggered (in Manual Mode) or is enabled in the Game Plan.
The Scorebug looks wrong or uses old branding. Review the Theme Instance assigned to the Competition and make sure the correct Theme is applied to the Match.
The Scorebug will not hide. In Automated Game Plans, another rule may be keeping it on. Switch to Manual Mode if you need to fully take it down.
