Horizontal Ticker Embed

Horizontal Ticker Embed

The horizontal ticker is an animated horizontal block that displays multiple scores from your district or association. It cycles through live and completed games automatically, and can be filtered by sport, level, and sublevel.

Requirements

  • A ScoreBird account
  • Your district or association identifier from the ScoreBird Portal

JavaScript Method (Preferred)

The JavaScript method is the recommended approach. It handles responsive layouts and avoids the sizing issues common with the iframe method.

<div id="scorebird_ht_widget"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
  window.addEventListener('load', function () {
    ScorebirdHorizontalTickerWidgetV1.init({
      selector: "scorebird_ht_widget",
      district: "",
      level: "",
      sport: "",
      sublevel: "",
      all_sports: "",
      association: "",
      live_final_only: true,
      auto_navigate_timeout: 5000
    });
  });
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://widget.scorebird.com/scorebird-horizontal-ticker-widget-v1.min.js" async></script>

iFrame Method (Alternative)

Use the iframe method if you cannot add JavaScript to your page (e.g., some website builders).

<iframe
  style="border: 0px;"
  frameborder="0"
  width="100%"
  height="150"
  src="https://widget.scorebird.com/horizontal-game-widget.html?district=&all-sports=soccer,football,volleyball,field%20hockey&live_final_only=true&auto_navigate_timeout=&association=&sport=&sublevel=&level=">
</iframe>

Parameters Reference

ParameterRequiredDescription
selectorYesThe id of the <div> element where the widget renders
districtRecommendedYour ScoreBird district identifier
associationRecommendedYour ScoreBird association identifier (use instead of district if applicable)
levelNoFilter by level (e.g. varsity, jv)
sublevelNoFilter by sublevel
sportNoFilter by a single sport (e.g. football)
all_sportsNoComma-separated list of sports to include (e.g. soccer,football,volleyball)
live_final_onlyNoShow only live and final games; hide upcoming games (true/false, default true)
auto_navigate_timeoutNoMilliseconds between score rotations (default 5000)

Either district or association is strongly recommended — without one, the ticker has no scope and will not display games.

Troubleshooting

  • No scores showing? Verify your district or association value is correct in the customer portal.
  • Too many sports? Use all_sports with a comma-separated list to limit which sports appear.
  • Ticker not fitting my layout? Switch to the JavaScript method — it adapts better to varying container widths.
