Notes

Input naming matters — ensure your overlay input names match expected field labels.
"Scores Only" status means the game has not been fully initiated. Send test data from the scoreboard controller to complete game initiation, then reload.
If ScoreBird does not have schedule data for the current game, default colors and team names will be used.

Troubleshooting

Controller not appearing? Confirm NewBlue Titler Live is fully loaded with all five panels visible before selecting a controller.
Data not updating? Verify your API key is correct and your NeST device is online.
