PORTABLE PVC SCOREBOARD - $499

DO YOU KNOW THE SCORE?

If so, you are one of the few who do. Admit it - at any given point in a match, half your team doesn't know what the score is and, if you think your spectators have a clue as to what's going on, you must be playing in New Zealand!

I wrote an editorial for Rugby Magazine a few years ago answering the question "What's wrong with American Rugby and how do we fix it?" I won't bore you with all my solutions here but one of the simplest to rectify was the lack of scoreboards. For the life of me I couldn't understand why 90% of US clubs didn't have one. Then I took over the program at Duke and found out the problem.

SCOREBOARDS WITH NUMBERS BIG ENOUGH TO BE SEEN ACROSS A 70-METER PITCH COST ABOUT $3,000!   WHO THE HELL COULD AFFORD ONE?

I set about finding a way to produce a simple, sturdy, portable scoreboard for under $500.

Here it is: THE SCRUMBOT PVC RUGBY SCOREBOARD

  • Made of lightweight, industrial-grade PVC plastic
  • Customized with your club name
  • Easy set-up in less than 5-minutes
  • Withstands winds up to 30 mph
  • Waterproof
  • 24 pounds
  • Canvas Duffle Carrying Bag included

 

PRICE: $499 (Plus $80 shipping)

Add $50 for a printed, hanging sponsor sign (24" wide X 18" high)

 

You are probably thinking, "We have guys on the club who could build that. Why should we buy one?"

Of course you have guys that COULD do it. It is SIMPLE. But WILL they?

They haven't yet.

By the way, if they were to attempt it, they would find that, after buying, measuring cutting, glueing and setting the PVC to build the frame, they would spend a LOT of time tracking down PVC sheets and especially numbers that are big enough to be seen across the pitch. When they do find them, they will be astonished (as I was) to learn that the numbers alone will cost more than $200. So, after a boatload of work, you will save maybe $100 by building your own. If all that hassle is worth $100 to you then God bless you - we wish you all the best. I will even send you the plans to help you. NO CHARGE. If I go to one more match and get three different answers when I ask what the score is, I am going to go batsh*t!

 

Call us or email and we will discuss your new scoreboard.

Best,

"As a team that is continually striving to act and look like a varsity team, it was embarassing to have spectators constantly unaware of what the score was at our matches.  The Scrumbot Scoreboard was a professional and affordable solution to this problem.  It is large enough so that it is clearly visible from all areas of the pitch and surrounding area and it is easy to assemble and operate.  Given that it is also so easily portable, I'm strongly considering bringing it with us to our away matches as well."
