If you have access to Tickaroo Live Blog sports templates and sports features, there are two ways to add scoreboards to your liveblog: Scoreboard in the Sports Templates: In the sports templates, the scoreboard is fixed at the top of your live blog. When creating a new sports ticker, you can either enter the teams manually or select pre-created teams from your Tickaroo sports data, including logos and player details. When you select a goal, the scoreboard in the sports template updates automatically. With Live Sports Data, all team, player, and match information will load automatically, saving you time. For more information on team setup and using Live Sports Data, check the related Helpdesk article. Scoreboard in the News Template: You can also add a scoreboard within the news template. However, when using the goal icon as a sports event, the scoreboard will not update automatically in this template. You can manually adjust and update the score at any time. Depending on your reporting style, you can choose to integrate the scoreboard as a fixed element in the sports template or manually within the news template as separate posts. Scoreboard Settings: Default Score: Default: Icon, Name, Result Default - Icon only: icon, result Default - name only: name, result Table: icon, name, game phase, result, time Table - text only: name, game phase, result, time  Sets: Default: icon, name, sentences, total Default - no total: logo, name, sentences Thumb: icon, sets, sum Thumb - no total: icon, sets Read our blog post showing you 3 quick ways to level up your live sport coverage. 

Add player cards as a post to your liveblog to inform readers about current sports events in the news template. To create player cards, you need to create sports data in advance. How to create sports data you will learn here: Home: Sports data.  In addition to the player card, you can also share a sports event or scoreboard in your post to further enhance the content.

If you create sports live blogs with Tickaroo and use one of our sports templates, you can easily tease your current match on your website using the Tickaroo Teaser Widget.  Within the Tickaroo Theme Generator, you can now create a Teaser Theme in addition to your Liveblog Theme and generate your widget code with just a few clicks. Embed the Teaser Widget on your homepage to highlight key updates from your sports ticker, either through highlight posts or your latest posts. When your readers click on the teaser, they will be taken directly to the linked post in your liveblog. As with the Liveblog Theme, you can customize the Teaser Widget Theme directly in the editor in "liveblog integration". A live indicator on your homepage will let your readers know that the match is currently live. You can also place your liveblog behind a paywall to generate additional subscriptions. Note: This feature is not enabled by default in your organization. Please contact your Tickaroo representative or support@tickaroo.com for more information.

Use event-based advertising to automatically display ads within your Tickaroo sports live ticker. With your ad manager, you can define which ad should be displayed for specific liveblog events. Please note that this feature works exclusively with sports templates. For example, if a goal is scored or a player is substituted in your football ticker, a perfectly matching ad can be triggered for that post – as demonstrated by NOZ. Alternatively, you can set ads to appear after a certain number of posts, giving you full flexibility. You can find more information on ad integration in this Helpdesk article and in our developer documentation. Note: This feature may not be included in your current package. Please contact your Tickaroo representative or support@tickaroo.com for further details. Read our blog post on how to level up your live sports coverage strategy in three quick ways.

In addition to the News Template, Tickaroo offers various Sports Templates tailored to specific sports.  These templates already include the sport-specific rules and times, allowing live coverage of sports events in real-time with minimal effort from the editorial team. Unlike the News Template, a dedicated block for specific sports events appears above the rich text field in the Live Blog Editor of Sports Templates, making it easy to quickly select events. Currently we offer following sports templates: Soccer, American Football, Handball, Basketball, Cycling, Cyclocross, Gaelic Games, Ice Hockey, Rugby, Tennis and Motorsports.  If you're missing a sports template or have questions or suggestions about the rules and events in a template, feel free to let us know anytime.
