Cinematic TV Scoreboard

Big-screen 16:9 showpiece for the booth

Live

A dedicated /[slug]/tv layout built for a television at the table: High Noon logo, tournament title, live countdown, prize box, scan-to-join QR, and dramatic top-5 rows. One-tap fullscreen hides the browser chrome entirely. This is the in-store centerpiece that draws a crowd and quietly recruits the next players walking by.

The Problem

The player-facing leaderboard is tuned for a phone. Put that same view on a 55-inch screen across a store and it looks like a webpage, not a broadcast — small type, browser chrome, nothing that reads from fifteen feet away.

A store's TV is prime real estate. It should look like ESPN for a gunfight: bold, legible across the room, and self-explanatory enough that a shopper who has never heard of High Noon understands there's a live tournament and can scan to jump in.

It also can't be fiddly for the store. The person running the booth is busy; getting the big screen live has to be one tap, and it has to stay clean — no address bar, no tabs, no accidental scroll.

The Big-Screen Build

A dedicated broadcast layout, not a blown-up webpage.

16:9 broadcast layout

A purpose-built /[slug]/tv view — logo, tournament title, live countdown, prize box, and dramatic top-5 rows composed for a television, legible clear across a store.

Scan-to-join QR

A prominent QR drops any passer-by straight onto that store's board to join. The display isn't just a scoreboard — it's a recruiting funnel on the wall.

One-tap fullscreen

A single tap hides all browser chrome for a clean, kiosk-grade showpiece. Set it and walk away; it stays a broadcast, not a browser tab.

Build Phases

Live in production; here's what shipped and what would elevate it further.

T1 Shipped

Cinematic TV view

  • Dedicated /[slug]/tv 16:9 layout with logo, title, countdown, prize box, and top-5 rows.
  • Scan-to-join QR wired to the store's live board.
  • One-tap fullscreen strips browser chrome for a kiosk-clean display.
T2 Later

Motion + presentation polish

  • Row-change animations and a lead-change sting for real broadcast drama.
  • Sponsor / store logo slot and configurable accent theming per league.
  • Attract-mode loop between rounds so a paused event still sells the room.
T3 Later

Multi-screen + casting

  • Chromecast / smart-TV friendly launch so stores skip the laptop entirely.
  • Multi-table stores drive several TV views from one event.

Status

Origin: A store's TV is prime real estate; the phone board doesn't fill it. Built as the in-store centerpiece and walk-up recruiter.

Prereqs: None outstanding — rides the live leaderboard and Redis data layer already in production.

Status: Live in production. T2/T3 (motion polish, casting, multi-screen) are presentation upgrades, not blockers.
