How to Set Up a 24" Electronic Scoreboard for Shuffleboard

Quick answer

Mount the 24" electronic scoreboard above the shuffleboard table using the included hardware, connect the power and sensor cables, then calibrate the scoring system before your first game.

Step-by-step setup guide

1. Position the mounting bracket: Hold the bracket centered above the shuffleboard table at eye level (typically 60–66 inches from the floor). Use a level to ensure it is straight, then mark the screw hole locations. Common mistake: mounting too high or too low, which makes the display hard to read during play. Check the bracket alignment with a level before drilling to avoid a crooked installation.
2. Drill pilot holes and secure bracket: Drill pilot holes at the marked spots using a bit slightly smaller than the screws. If mounting into drywall, use wall anchors rated for at least 20 lbs. Screw the bracket firmly into place. Common mistake: skipping pilot holes, which can crack the wall or strip the screw threads. Use wall anchors for drywall installations to prevent the bracket from pulling loose.
3. Attach the scoreboard to the bracket: Lift the scoreboard and align the keyhole slots on its back with the bracket screws. Slide it down until it locks into place. Have a second person help if the unit is heavy. Common mistake: not fully engaging the slots, causing the scoreboard to tilt or fall. Gently tug the scoreboard after mounting to confirm it is locked securely.
4. Connect power and sensor cables: Plug the power adapter into the scoreboard and then into a wall outlet. Route the sensor cable from the scoreboard to the shuffleboard table's sensor strip, keeping it away from foot traffic. Common mistake: pinching the cable under furniture or running it across a walkway where it can be tripped on. Use cable clips to secure the sensor cable along the table leg or baseboard.
5. Power on and calibrate: Turn on the scoreboard using the power button. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to set the game mode, scoring increments, and time limits. Test each sensor by sliding a puck across the scoring zones. Common mistake: skipping calibration, which leads to inaccurate scoring during the first game. Run a full test round with both players to confirm the sensors register points correctly.
