Padel scoreboards for clubs: all four courts for €604
A four-court club can have a scoreboard on every court for €604. Once, with no building work, no wiring, no licences and no annual fee.
That figure rarely comes up when you look into equipping a club, because the people writing about it sell courts, turf or lighting, and those numbers are in a different league. The scoreboard is one of the smallest lines in the budget and one of the few that everyone who walks in can see.
The price, per court
A Kronoset costs €151 per unit (was €189). One scoreboard per court:
| Courts | Scoreboards | Total |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 2 × €151 | €302 |
| 4 | 4 × €151 | €604 |
| 6 | 6 × €151 | €906 |
| 8 | 8 × €151 | €1,208 |
No tiers, no per-court licence, no software subscription. Shipping is free within Spain and a €40 flat rate everywhere else. If you need several units, email us before ordering through the shop and we'll sort out pricing and delivery: info@kronoset.com.
What this is being compared against
There are two ways to put scoreboards in a club, and it's worth telling them apart, because they don't cost the same or solve the same problem.
The installed system. LedsCount, from UK Padel, sells a four-court pack for £4,450, with each additional court at £750. In return you get a router, Android TV, a cloud dashboard and tournament management. It's a different product from ours and we'd rather say so: if your club runs streamed tournaments and wants every court's score on one screen at reception, we don't do that.
The portable scoreboard. This is where we are. The direct rival is Ditel, at €265 per unit. Four courts with Ditel is €1,060 at shop price; four with Kronoset is €604. (Neither Ditel nor MTR publish volume discounts, so the comparison is at published unit price, which is the only verifiable one.)
The question that settles it is simple: does the club want a tournament system, or does it want the score to be visible on all four courts? If it's the second, there's between €604 and £4,450 standing between you and the same outcome.
No remote to hand out, lose or charge
This is the point that matters most in a club and the one most often misread.
A Kronoset is operated by holding your racket near the sensor: one second scores a point, three seconds takes one back. No remote, no wristband, nothing to hand over at reception.
Other scoreboards also claim you don't have to walk to the panel, and that's true, but how they do it has consequences for whoever runs the club. Ditel's works with an RF remote — AAA batteries — plus two wristbands, each carrying a CR2032 coin cell. MTR's uses infrared, wristbands again. Multiply that by the number of courts you have and what you get is a small inventory: remotes lent out, wristbands that don't come back, coin cells to buy and change, and a call to reception when one of them dies mid-match.
A player's racket has no battery in it and is always on court.
One minute to fit, and nothing drilled
It attaches two ways, depending on the court: suction cups on the glass, or hooks on the mesh fence. No drilling, no tools, no cables. Nobody needs to be called out and no court needs closing: you put it up, check it reads from the baseline, and move on to the next one.
There's no power to run out to the court either. It works on a rechargeable battery, and one charge lasts more than 20 matches.
And if they ever have to come down — building work, a glass panel replaced, a court being refurbished — they come down just as fast and go back up somewhere else. It isn't an installation; it's equipment that moves.
Making money from a court you already have: renting it out
Some clubs, rather than including the scoreboard as part of the court, rent it by the match, the same way they rent rackets. It's the most interesting idea we've seen in this category and it's worth working through slowly, with every assumption in plain sight.
Say €2 per match. A scoreboard costs €151. How long it takes to pay for itself depends only on how many matches a day it goes out:
| Rentals per day | Per day | Per month (30 days) | €151 back in |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | €2 | €60 | about two and a half months |
| 2 | €4 | €120 | about five weeks |
| 4 | €8 | €240 | about 19 days |
With all four courts renting out four matches a day, the €604 comes back in under three weeks, and after that it's roughly €960 a month from a piece of equipment that's already paid for.
Now the small print, which matters as much as the maths. Those numbers happen if the club actually sets the rental up and if players actually pay it. Four rentals a day per court, every day of the month, is the good scenario, not the one to budget with. We have no way of knowing the take-up rate at your club: it depends on your members, your court pricing and how easy it is to ask for at reception. That's why there are three rows and not just the top one. At a single rental a day the scoreboard pays for itself within a quarter, and that's the sensible floor.
Plenty of clubs will prefer not to charge for it and use it as an argument for the membership fee instead. That's a fair call too — in which case the scoreboard is a €151-per-court cost, not an investment that comes back.
Tournaments, leagues and americanos
A scoreboard on every court takes work off your hands on event day. Players keep the score themselves with their racket, it's readable from outside the court without going in to ask, and results stop being argued over at reception half an hour later.
The formats are configurable: traditional advantage, golden point, super tie-break and americano, among others. So it covers both the Thursday internal league and the Saturday americano, without changing kit.
The version that records
The Kronoset PRO (€199) does everything the base model does and also records the match with the score burned into the image, with apps for iOS, Android and Apple Watch.
For a club that isn't a gimmick: it's social content for the club's channels that generates itself every time someone plays. And it's a selling point for the show court or the indoor one, if you want to offer "court with recording" as something separate.
It's worth being precise about what that means. None of the physical scoreboards we've reviewed — Ditel, MTR, LedsCount, Pixelcom and the generic ones — records video. What does exist are phone apps that overlay the score onto footage, and some do it well. The difference is where that score comes from: in an app, from whatever someone is tapping on their phone; here, from the device all four players are looking at.
A pattern that works well in clubs: the base model on every court and the PRO on one or two.
What happens when something breaks
That's the right question when you're buying eight units rather than one. Every scoreboard comes with a 3-year warranty. The mount, which is the part that gets handled most, costs €8 as a spare, so a club can keep a couple in a drawer and never be stuck.
