Set possession
Tap Pos in the action bar when the ball changes hands. It also resets the down to 1st & 10. The remote scorer has a possession button too.

Update down and distance
On the Advanced board, use the DOWN bar after each play: set the down, adjust the yards, or tap 1st&10 for a new set of downs. This is the part the scorer will thank you for handing them.

Score, with the right points
Touchdown (TD), field goal (FG), and one-point and two-point conversions (1PT, 2PT) each have their own button, so the total is always right. Score a safety with 2PT.

Manage the clock and timeouts
On Advanced, start and stop the game clock from the scoring screen and tap a timeout to take one off the board. When regulation ends tied, step into overtime and the board reads OT.

Sports with a game clock
Football joins basketball, soccer, ice hockey, and lacrosse as the clock sports. For every board and button, see the American football scoreboard guide.
