The next great invention.........

[NATIONAL]

of miniature football, what will it be????

I hope someone comes out with a scoreboard. Handheld, tabletop, or mountable to the field it self. Miggle's is just okay. The display is too small. The size is good, but you can't see the display unless you pick it up, and hold it to your face.

I know this is not on the list of many people, since a lot of leagues use plays instead of time. But for the NEFL & PEFL of Philly, and the DFW, (that's over 70 coaches between those 3 leagues) a better device would be great.

That's my choice, anything you coaches have in mind?

There is a scoretable timer that just came out a few years ago for lacrosse. It keeps the game clock plus three separate penalty times on it. All run together. This could work - but the cost - about $175.00 I believe!

There is also one you can run from a PC - but you would still need to reset the play timers after each play - but ,oghtwork.

Google Lax timer

Reg, I told you via our last convo. that there was need. I know you have the plans already, but the cost is the challenge.

All you need is a computer! Just download the football scoreboard and the best thing is that it is free! You can even customize the headings. And you can project this on a big screen from your pc!

I can't wait to use this for the Dixie League!

Great find Beenutt.

For leagues like the BAM and DFW with set clocks the hockey board might be good as well.

In fact the Roller Derby clock has a "Jam" countdown timer that runs and sounds buzzer when expired.

I've had a chance to download this along with the shot clock score board and it's pretty slick. I can see this being used for league, tournament, and solitaire play.

My money is on G Force and Reggie, if anyone does it they will. We use a digital countdown clock with 2 inch numbers that light up in red. We have a miniature wireless camera hooked up that projects the game time onto a 20 inch TV screen. Since our games all start at the same time and use a running clock it works out perfect, everyone can see ether the small clock or the tv screen. We do not use time outs, instead at the end of each half there are 5 untimed plays, so for us this system works out well. Wireless cameras are $40.00 and up, the countdown clocks are on EBAY starting at about$15.00.
The real neat thing about the miniature camera is you can mount it on the inside rail of your game and broadcast it to a TV anywhere in the house.You can also use it in a hand held manner for some incredible close ups and realistic looking action. We have recorded whole games using this method and then replayed them later, it put the game in a world all it's own, much better than regular super 8 cameras, they cannot get nearly as good a shot up close as the miniatures do, the miniatures even have sound.
But we would still love to see a real looking scoreboard added to the hobby.
You can also download countdown scoreboards from the internet but you need a computer at your game site.
