DAK Score for iPhone

iPhone scoreboard control for Daktronics displays

DAK Score is a free iPhone application from Daktronics Inc. that lets authorized users operate selected Daktronics scoreboards from their phone. The app provides a mobile alternative to a traditional scoreboard console, enabling on-the-spot updates during events in gyms, stadiums, and other sporting venues.

Notable capabilities

• Enter and update game scores quickly using a simplified touchscreen layout.
• Modify countdown and game clocks right from the device.
• Show essential match details (period, fouls, timeouts, etc.) on the scoreboard.
• Reduce reliance on manual, hardware-only operation to improve timing and accuracy.

Required equipment and connection types

• All Sport MX-1 interface box is required to bridge the phone to the scoreboard.
• The interface supports either a hardwired connection or a wireless radio link to the display.
• Confirm that your specific scoreboard model is listed as compatible before planning an installation.

How the app operates

Once the MX-1 interface is installed and linked to the scoreboard, DAK Score communicates commands from the iPhone to the display. The app’s layout is designed for quick entry and minimal distraction, so scorekeepers can update values, reset or stop timers, and present game information without returning to a separate control console.

Installation and support

Because proper operation depends on hardware and compatibility, Daktronics should be contacted for details about supported scoreboard models, required wiring or radio options, and professional installation. The app itself is free to download from the App Store, but the MX-1 and any installation services are additional.

Other apps and alternatives to consider

• Dream11 and similar fantasy sports platforms are consumer-facing game apps and not replacements for scoreboard control.
• If you need remote display management but not a Daktronics product, check with the display manufacturer for their recommended mobile control solutions.
