Blackboard

The (DS) Blackboard by Diamond Synthesis is a 7Seas-compatible fishing contest board.

You can use the Blackboard to replace the 7Seas board for unlimited (baited) solo contests. You can host novelty contests where the score for each catch differs from the 7Seas defaults. Or you can run a Blackboard along side a 7Seas board and have the Blackboard keep track of certain catches, such as most SURs.

- Can be used as a replacement for the 7Seas contest board or run along side it.

- Allows you to change the score for each type of catch (rarity), enabling new types of contests.

- Displays the scores of all fishers using paged floating and keeps track of ties.

- Supports solo unlimited (baited) contests.

- Includes optional Eraser Scorekeeper for constant display of top 5 scores.

- Configurable via notecard.

- Configurable applause at contest end.

- Broadcasts the top 5 scores to scorekeepers and full results at contest end.

- For security, works only with contest pots and auto-starters that you own.

- Supports broadcasting key to plug-ins.

- Uses group permissions to enable admins.

- Based on the 7Seas OpenTracker script, hence, same security as the 7Seas board.

- Modify, copy, no transfer.

- Updates available at a Diamond Synthesis Bit Bucket

- Available at Diamond Synthesis Pots & Buckets
