What does the stream overlay show before kick-off, at half-time and between games?

When no match is running, the overlay switches from the live scoreboard to a summary screen. A header at the top names the match: city, field and format on the first line, and the game number, the phase (Before kick-off, Half-time, Extra-time break, Between games or Full time) and the event number on the second. While a game is running, the same header sits as a small card in the top-left corner, for example G 4 · 1H · #4821.

In a pickup game the screen follows the event. Before teams are confirmed it shows the players who signed up, with their cards and the average rating, and a countdown to kick-off. Once teams are confirmed it shows each team with its players, then the schedule of games. Between games the schedule shows the results so far and the next game, and in a ranked game the PBX each team gained or lost in every game. The standings table, top scorers and top assistants rotate with the schedule as slides. Leagues and tournaments with stages keep their standings, brackets and group tables.

In a ranked (competitive) event the table has a PBX column, and with a prize pool a Prize Pool column, for example 1.5K USD.

The organizer can switch this screen off in Settings, “Organizer tools”, “Overlay”, group “Between games” (or in the “Overlay” panel of the Playbox Stream app during a live stream): the “Between-game screen” switch turns it off completely, and while it is on, the checkboxes keep or drop each moment separately: “Before kick-off”, “Between games and half-time” or “After the event”. For example, to keep squads before kick-off but show nothing at half-time, leave the switch on and “Before kick-off” ticked, and untick “Between games and half-time”. At unticked moments the overlay shows nothing; the live scoreboard during play stays (see “How do I change how my stream overlay looks?”).
