Scoreboards premium

A scoreboard is one message in a channel that updates itself every minute. It shows the live matches, the upcoming matches and the latest results of the teams and leagues that channel follows.

Who can use it

  • Pro and Max servers can add scoreboards.
  • On Max servers the scoreboard uses your custom bot name, avatar and colour from Customize bot.
  • One scoreboard per channel, up to 10 per server. Text and announcement channels only.

What it looks like

Scoreboard message in Discord with Live, Upcoming and Finished sections

Example with test data on a Max server, so the scoreboard uses the custom name and colour of that server.

The message has up to three sections. Empty sections are left out.

Section Shows
🔴 LIVE Matches being played, with the minute (67') or a status: HT half time, BT break before extra time, PEN penalty shootout, INT interrupted, SUSP suspended. Always shown.
🕒 UPCOMING Kick-offs inside the window you pick. The time is shown in each reader's own timezone, with the date for matches more than 12 hours away. TBD means the kick-off time is not known yet, PST postponed, CANC cancelled.
✅ FINISHED Results for as long as you pick after the final whistle: FT, AET after extra time, PEN after a shootout (with the shootout score).

The footer repeats your settings, for example Football Nation scoreboard · next 3d · last 3h. When there are too many matches to fit in one message, the last lines of a section become +N more.

Scoreboards page in the dashboard with channel, upcoming and finished settings

The bot needs the Manage Webhooks permission in the channel, because the scoreboard is posted through the channel's webhook. Without it the dashboard says The bot can't post in this channel.

Your scoreboards are listed under Your scoreboards, with what they show and their settings:

Scoreboards, /live and notifications

  • No live notifications in a scoreboard channel. Goals, cards, kick-off and the other events are not posted there, so the scoreboard stays in view. Other channels keep their notifications.
  • /live adds to the scoreboard. Running /live in the channel puts that team or league on the scoreboard. The bot replies that it is now on the scoreboard instead of promising notifications.
  • /live-stop takes it off again. /live-list, /live-upcoming and /live-now keep working as usual.
  • The dashboard shows it too. On the Live subscriptions page of a scoreboard channel a note says that what you add there shows up on the scoreboard.
  • Notifications come back as soon as you remove the scoreboard.

Want both a scoreboard and goal notifications? Use two channels that follow the same teams: one with the scoreboard, one without.

The scoreboard message was deleted

If someone deletes the scoreboard message in Discord, the bot notices it the next time it tries to update the message: within a minute while one of its matches is live, and otherwise within 30 minutes. Until then the channel stays quiet. The scoreboard then shows Message deleted on the dashboard and live notifications are posted in the channel again.

Scoreboard marked Message deleted with a button to post it again

To get it back, click the Post again button next to it. You can also open the settings and click Save. The bot posts a new message at the bottom of the channel and keeps updating that one.
