Adding and Using Custom Scoresheet Backgrounds

Did you know that Sync supports custom scoresheet backgrounds?

They're perfect for advertising, banquets, parties, leagues/tournaments, or any other special events your bowling center may be hosting.

You can choose graphics from the internet, an email, images on the server / client or from a USB flash drive.

Brunswick does NOT recommend plugging USB devices into POS clients as they typically do not have antivirus installed on them.

Note

Custom Scoresheet Backgrounds can only be used with the games "MyGame" and "MyLeague", typically used during Open Play and Leagues/Tournaments, respectively.
