Wyoming Scoreboards: Baseball Leads With 6 of 16 Records Across 12 Cities

If you are choosing a scoreboard for a Wyoming field, gym or rink, start with what has already shipped to the state. The research section below walks through these findings, and a separate guide covers indoor hockey scoreboards. The record is small. I read it as a map of what Wyoming buyers chose, not as a verdict on what you need.

The baseball models in that record build on one another. Our data, from the LX1130 model page, shows the series began with the simpler LX1030 design and added two feet to the cabinet to make room for pitch counts, a timer, or both. The LX1060 model page sums up its own appeal in one line: "It's hard to argue with this combination of simplicity and success."

Each section below works from one model's own spec sheet, then turns to the current NFHS rules, which govern high school play, and what they mean for a high school scoreboard.

What does Electro-Mech's sales and shipping record show for Wyoming?

Our data shows 16 records across 12 cities and towns in Wyoming, running from 1999 to 2025, which places Wyoming forty-sixth of fifty states by units shipped.

Read the record in three steps before you draw anything from it:

1. Treat each record as one row per organization, model and city, the same rule the company's state page applies.
2. Read every count as what was sold and shipped, not as what stands on a field or hangs in a gym today.
3. Keep each figure exactly as printed, because the state page prints the same counts and you can check them there.

By sport, the record splits five ways. Baseball holds 6 of the 16 records, and basketball is second at 4. Hockey follows at 3, football at 2 and soccer at 1.

The research section below walks through these findings.

One finding in those counts is easy to miss. Look past the top line. Hockey holds 3 of the 16 records, a larger share of this small record than football.

The sample is small. Read it as a list of what shipped, not as a trend. A single order carries real weight in a record this size, so the counts describe Wyoming's buyers without forecasting them.

Baseball's lead fits the history of the catalog. The LX1060 model page traces that design back to the electro-mechanical scoreboards the company built in the 1960s, and says a 10 foot by 5 foot baseball model with a similar layout has always been offered. Read together, these 2 evidence items show baseball at the center of both the product line and the Wyoming record. If your project is a ballfield, start with the full range of outdoor baseball scoreboards and compare layouts before you request a quote.

The record carries no organization names, so this article names none. What it does carry is the model behind each record, and that is where the useful detail sits.

Which scoreboard models shipped most often to Wyoming?

Our data puts the LX1060, LX1130 and LX2665 at 2 records each, and the LX1030 and LX1161 at 1 each, out of 12 distinct models in the state.

Each count is taken by the model's LX equivalent, so the variants of one model count as that model. Four of the five are outdoor baseball and softball scoreboards. The fifth, the LX2665, is an indoor basketball scoreboard.

Every figure in that table comes from the model's own published spec sheet. An -ETN variant is the same model built with the Electronic Team Names option, and it carries its own spec sheet and its own amperage.

The LX1060 spec sheet lists 18-inch digits for every number on the scoreboard, with 4-inch indicators and the simplified 15-key console in the package. The model page calls the 18-inch digits easy on the eyes and the single cabinet easy to install.

The LX1130 starts from the LX1030 layout and adds two feet of cabinet height. Its spec sheet keeps guest runs, home runs and inning at 18 inches, then uses the extra space for 11-inch pitch count digits for the guest and home teams. A full-sized 37-key console with an LCD display and fifty programmable brightness levels come standard.

The LX2665 is the contrast in the list. Its spec sheet puts guest points, home points and the period clock at 12 inches and every other digit at 9 inches. Three removable metal plates along the bottom carry WON/GAMES/WON captions for volleyball, and flipping them shows POINTS/MATCH/POINTS for wrestling.

Layout separates these models more than sport does. Decide what the scoreboard has to show, and the cabinet size follows. You can download every spec sheet and owner manual for these models from the scoreboard manuals page before you compare quotes.

Where can you check the Wyoming record and each model's documents yourself?

Start with the Wyoming state page of our sales and shipping record, which lists every record by city, then read each model's own spec sheet before comparing figures.

The state page prints the same two counts this article uses. You can check them against the city list line by line. Our review of that page is where every Wyoming count in this article comes from, and we have not added to it.

Each model then has two documents, and they do different jobs. The model page explains the design in plain words. The spec sheet carries the figures: dimensions, weight, digit height and amperage. For the LX1060-ETN and the LX1161-ETN, the variant has its own spec sheet, and only the electrical line differs from the base model.

The three baseball models in the record, the LX1060, LX1130 and LX1161, list the same two ways to reach the console. You can order up to 1,000 feet of data cable for a hardwired installation, or the ScoreLink Wireless RF modem system. All three also offer a choice of 18 standard paint colors for the cabinet. Read the optional equipment list on each spec sheet before you ask for a quote.

Does a baseball scoreboard need a pitch count display?

The rules limit pitches, not scoreboards. A pitch count display is a choice that helps the people keeping the count, and two of the most-shipped Wyoming models carry one.

At the high school level, NFHS revised Rule 6-2-6 in 2016 so that each member state association develops its own pitching restriction policy, based on the number of pitches thrown in a game and giving pitchers a required rest period between appearances. Limits and rest days differ from state to state. For a Wyoming high school, the policy to check is the one the Wyoming High School Activities Association applies, and this article quotes no number from it.

Youth baseball runs on its own rules. Little League publishes pitch count breakdowns by league age, with days-of-rest thresholds for each division of play. A league that plays under Little League rules reads its limits from that page, not from the high school policy.

Volunteers weigh the display question in practical terms. In a 2023 thread on r/LittleLeague, a commenter who said they had umpired on dozens of fields called a scoreboard pitch count "the exception, not the rule." The same thread noted that under Little League rules the manager is solely responsible for keeping the count, and described a regional game in which Williamsport upheld a protest and suspended a manager for 3 games after the manager relied on a scorekeeper's wrong count.

The common assumption is that a count on the scoreboard settles who is accountable. The thread's example points the other way. A visible count does not replace the manager's own count. It gives the manager, the scorekeeper and the umpire one shared number to check against, in view of everyone at the field.

If you want that shared number on display, the next step is a layout built for it. The LX1130 and LX1161 show pitch counts for both the guest and home teams in their standard layouts. The LX1161 also carries a 3-digit timer that counts hours and minutes, which its model page describes as useful for timing a series of games or other events that last several hours. The LX1030 and LX1060 layouts show runs, inning, balls, strikes and outs without a pitch count.

Basketball raises a parallel question about team fouls, and you can compare indoor layouts on the basketball scoreboards page.

Our data, from the LX1130 and LX1161 spec sheets, maps each row of the two pitch count models below. Compare the lines before you choose.

# Source: LX1130 and LX1161 spec sheets, Rev 2.0.2017.06.08
LX1130:
  digits_18_in: [Guest Runs, Home Runs, Inning]
  digits_11_in: [Guest Pitch Count, Home Pitch Count]
  indicators_4_in: [Ball, Strike, Out]
  caption_height: 6 in
  timer: not listed on the spec sheet
LX1161:
  digits_18_in: [Guest Runs, Home Runs, Inning]
  digits_11_in: [Guest Pitch Count, Home Pitch Count, Timer]
  timer: 3 digits, hours and minutes
  caption_height: [7 in, 5 in]
  electronic_team_names: optional (LX1161-ETN)

The pitch count lines match. The timer is the real difference. The LX1161 clock suits a series of games or events lasting several hours. If you need pitch counts alone, the LX1130 covers them.

What should a Wyoming gym scoreboard show under the current basketball foul rule?

Since the 2023-24 season, high school basketball awards two free throws on the fifth team foul in each quarter, so the bonus shown in your gym should follow quarters, not halves.

Pitch count is not the only rule that moves around the equipment. NFHS Rule 4-8-1 now awards two free throws for all common fouls once the opponent commits five fouls in a quarter, and team fouls reset at the end of each quarter. The change eliminated the one-and-one. The old thresholds, seven fouls in a half for the one-and-one and ten for two shots, are no longer the high school rule.

That rule is written by NFHS and applied through each state association, which in Wyoming means the Wyoming High School Activities Association. A gym that also hosts youth or adult leagues may play under different rules on other nights.

Here is the tradeoff. The display is bought once, while the rule that decides what it should show can change in a single offseason. A scoreboard that fits today's foul count is the one to buy, but the operator still has to run it to the current rule.

The LX2665 spec sheet lists 3-inch Bonus and Possession indicators, and Double Bonus Indicators appear on the same sheet as an option. Under the per-quarter NFHS rule there is a single bonus step, so the standard Bonus indicator matches what officials award in a high school game. Order the double bonus option only if your gym regularly hosts games played under a two-step rule.

The rest of the LX2665 standard equipment shapes how it works in a busy gym:

• An internal horn and a full-sized 37-key control console with an LCD display.
• A data output port that supports daisy chaining additional displays, and a goal light output port for optional LED backboard goal light kits.
• Red, amber and green LED displays, with mounting hardware for attaching the cabinet to a wall.
• A center-hung, four-sided configuration listed as available for larger rooms.

The spec sheet does not describe how the console resets a foul count at each quarter. If that matters to your scorer's table, ask the Electro-Mech service team before game one.

Basketball sits second in the Wyoming record, and the LX2665 is the only indoor model among the most-shipped five. One gym model serving basketball, volleyball and wrestling fits a facility that changes sports through the week.

How long does an Electro-Mech scoreboard take to build and ship?

Plan on 4 to 6 weeks from commitment to shipping. Lead times have stretched to 16 weeks at the start of football season and can fall under two weeks in slack periods such as January.

Those figures are what customers are typically told to assume, not a measured average. The company keeps no statistics on lead time, so treat the range as planning guidance and ask for a current estimate with your quote.

A build starts before your order arrives. Many models share common parts, so standard aluminum pieces such as chassis parts, digit masks, gussets and angle brackets are cut, punched and formed ahead of time. Our own estimate is that enough components sit on hand to build well over one hundred standard scoreboard models to completion, and probably hundreds more most of the way. Those are parts and subassemblies, not finished scoreboards waiting on a shelf.

Once you commit, our build sequence runs in this order:

1. You place a purchase order, make a down payment or give another go-ahead.
2. Where signage is involved, sponsors, schools, boosters, architects and contractors approve logos, colors, layout and text.
3. The Sales Order is released, and Engineering examines most orders the same day. Outside purchases for custom signage, paint or vinyl start here.
4. The Shipping Manager assigns the order to a Truck List, and from that point it is in process.
5. Four paths run in parallel: accessories, separate signage, internal electronics, and the cabinet, frame and ladders first and then the face.
6. Electronics go into the cabinet: digits first, then chassis, terminal blocks or I/O plate, ribbon cables, horn, and last the ScoreLink receiver.
7. The scoreboard goes through full-power testing and burn-in.
8. The back goes on, followed by warning labels and the label that marks final inspection.
9. The scoreboard is staged and loaded onto a trailer set aside for scoreboard deliveries, where it keeps its spot until it arrives.

Step 2 is the one you control. Sponsor logos and school colors that are settled early keep the order from waiting on artwork. No step carries a fixed number of days.

Some orders on record sat more than a year before shipping, usually school construction projects where the gym or field slipped. The record cannot say whether a delay came from the customer or the factory, so it assigns none.

Read together, these 3 evidence items point to one practical move. Ask for a quote during a slack month, settle artwork first, and give a spring baseball season a margin beyond the typical range.

What should you decide before ordering a Wyoming scoreboard?

Decide what your scoreboard has to show under your sport's current rules, then pick the model whose spec sheet carries those lines, and order early enough for the build.

The research section above walks through these findings. On a baseball field you are choosing between three layouts: no pitch count, pitch counts alone, or pitch counts with a timer. For a gym, ask your game officials which lines they read from the scoreboard during play.

I would write those answers down before you ask for a quote. A short list of required lines keeps the conversation on one model, not the whole catalog. Electro-Mech can then match that list to a spec sheet and give you a build schedule for your season.
