Adding sponsors
Sponsors fund the league. ScoreLM's job is to give them concrete screen time you can show on a report. This walkthrough covers tiers, logos, and the overlay pop-ups that fire on stream.

A 5-minute walk through the tier setup and a live pop-up trigger.
Set up your sponsor tiers
Open Sponsors in the admin panel and click 'New tier'. Most leagues run something like Title, Gold, Silver, Bronze. Each tier controls how often that sponsor's logo gets shown and where it appears -- footer, scorebug, overlay pop-ups, game pages. Title sponsors usually get every spot; Bronze might only get the footer.

Add your sponsors and upload logos
Click 'New sponsor' and fill in the name, website URL, and tier. Upload a logo -- PNG with a transparent background looks best on dark scorebug overlays. If you have both a horizontal and a square version of the logo, upload both: the horizontal version is used on the homepage footer, the square version on scorebugs.

Configure stream overlay pop-ups
Open a scorebug and go to the Sponsor Pop-ups tab. Pick which sponsors show up, how long each one stays on screen (4-6 seconds is the sweet spot), and the rotation order. You can mark some as 'manual only' so they only fire when the operator taps the trigger -- useful for halftime or timeout sponsors.

Trigger pop-ups during dead air
From the live control panel during a game, tap 'Sponsor pop-up' and pick which one to fire. They animate on, sit for the duration you set, then animate off. Good moments to fire them: timeouts, free throws, after a big play. Auto-rotation also runs in the background if you've enabled it for that scorebug.

Show sponsors what they're getting
Sponsors want to see screen time. The admin panel tracks how many times each sponsor's pop-up fired, how long their logo was on stream, and which games. Export it as a PDF report to send to sponsors at the end of the season. This makes renewal conversations a lot easier.
