scoreboard locations & preferences

When you enter a venue to start officiating, do you always check where the scoreboard(s) are located?

For those sports which are timed & have periods, do you prefer a single scoreboard on one end, a center hanging scoreboard, or scoreboards on both ends?

Do I check where the scoreboards are? Yes, always.

Preference is scoreboard at both end. Don't think you're going to find anyone else have a preference for anything other than that.

Was curious about it, cause last hockey season, in the venue I assist at, only 1 of the 2 scoreboards worked due to some cross talking issues with the venue's internet connection & the one scoreboard near by. Hopefully with the installation of new scoreboards the cross talking has been eliminated.

One of the high schools in my area has a center hanging scoreboard. As well all the high school football stadiums, I know of, only have a single scoreboard. So was a bit curious.
