A paper scoresheet barely keeps up, and after the tournament someone still has to retype everything into the statistics. In this post we show how to run an <strong>electronic 3&#215;3 basketball scoresheet<\/strong> and publish the score and statistics instantly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does a 3&#215;3 scoresheet differ from a 5&#215;5 one?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Scoring<\/strong>: a shot from behind the arc is worth 2 points, all other made shots 1 point.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Team fouls<\/strong>: they&#8217;re counted for the whole team, further fouls (from the seventh) result in free throws, and from the tenth also in possession.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Timeout<\/strong>: each team has one timeout per game.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Overtime<\/strong>: in case of a tie, the first team to score 2 points in overtime wins.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s why a 3&#215;3 scoresheet above all has to handle the split between 1- and 2-point shots and the sequence of team fouls well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does the electronic 3&#215;3 scoresheet work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You open the 3&#215;3 basketball panel directly from a specific game in Turniej Generator. Once the game starts, the operator enters events as they happen: points, team fouls, unsportsmanlike fouls, and timeouts. The system keeps the entries consistent and saves changes automatically, so the current state of the scoresheet is available during and after the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does the 3&#215;3 panel cover?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>full team rosters and player numbers,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>player points split into 1- and 2-point shots,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>automatic point totals for every player,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>team fouls marked in sequence from 1 to 10+,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>players&#8217; unsportsmanlike fouls (U1\/U2),<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>team timeouts and the running score for both sides,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the final score and the overtime score.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Live operation<\/strong>: all data entered in one place, with no retyping into other sheets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Autosave<\/strong>: the panel saves the scoresheet regularly, reducing the risk of data loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ready for streaming<\/strong>: use the statistics and score bar right away in OBS views.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>One tool<\/strong>: scoresheet, statistics, and final score in one place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3&#215;3 basketball scoresheet: a game-day checklist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even the best electronic 3&#215;3 basketball scoresheet won&#8217;t help if the table isn&#8217;t ready before the first game. At 3&#215;3 events, games often start every 15\u201320 minutes on several courts, so it pays to go through a short checklist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Rosters before the event<\/strong>: 3&#215;3 teams have up to 4 players. Enter rosters and jersey numbers in the system beforehand, so on game day you only confirm who&#8217;s present.<\/li><li><strong>One device per court<\/strong>: a tablet or phone at each scorer&#8217;s table, charged, with a power bank and a stable connection.<\/li><li><strong>A briefed operator<\/strong>: a volunteer at the table should know the difference between 1- and 2-point shots and when team fouls start leading to free throws.<\/li><li><strong>A test game<\/strong>: before the first official game, run a few minutes of a trial game to check that the panel works and the score reaches the tournament page.<\/li><li><strong>Overtime and tie-break rules<\/strong>: settle in advance how standings are decided on equal wins, so you don&#8217;t argue about it at the table.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The current game rules, including scoring, fouls, and overtime, are published by FIBA on the official <a href=\"https:\/\/fiba3x3.basketball\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FIBA 3&#215;3 website<\/a>. It&#8217;s worth checking them before each season, as details can change between editions of the rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3&#215;3 tournaments and leagues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The electronic scoresheet works for both one-day tournaments and leagues. A consistent way of entering data makes life easier for everyone involved: table officials, court coordinators, communications staff, and the streaming crew. One data format means fewer mistakes and faster updates on the event website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can see a sample tournament run with the electronic 3&#215;3 scoresheet and statistics <a href=\"https:\/\/tg-app.pl\/tg\/adbdc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">at this link<\/a>.
