| Abstract: |
This electronic scoring device allows scores for different players of a game to be kept and shown on separate displays. The device, preferably in hand-held form, has a plurality of score entry keys and a plurality of function keys. First and second display means of the device are assignable to opposing sides of a game. Circuit means is connected to the score entry keys, the function keys, and the display means to receive score information, carry out functions on the score information and display a resulting score on one of the displays for which the score information is entered. The device preferably operates under control of a suitable program incorporating scoring rules for a particular game being played. Game information is then entered by the keyboard, the resulting numerical score computed by the device, shown on the appropriate display, and entered into memory for the final game score.
