Tabletop scoreboards are a great choice for many sports settings, and this scoreboard type is all about portability.

It is becoming more common for games and tournaments to be held in places where full sized scoreboards are not available, and this means an alternative method of keeping score must be used.

Although the experiment itself was not a huge success, because the 3d effects had to be turned off after only seven minutes. One of the problems with 3d scoreboards is that special glasses are still needed, and many sports fans do not want to wear the glasses, as shown by the Dallas Cowboy experiment.
