Football scoreboard FAQ
How many points is a touchdown?
A touchdown is worth 6 points. The scoring team then attempts a try: a kick through the uprights for 1 point or a run or pass into the end zone for 2 points.
How many points is a field goal and a safety?
A field goal is worth 3 points. A safety, when the offense is tackled in its own end zone, is worth 2 points to the defense, and the team that gave up the safety then kicks off.
Can I use this scoreboard for flag football?
Yes. Many flag football leagues use 6 for a touchdown and 1 or 2 for extra points from different distances. If your league's values differ, pick the Custom Points preset.
