Takedown Advantage
Takedown has had a software-driven scoreboard for years: connect an HDMI cable from the iPad to a display, turn on the Scoreboard feature, and you have a scoreboard. Takedown Advantage turns that into a dual-sided, floor-standing scoreboard the whole gym can see.
Why two sides
A single display is convenient but faces one way. Fans, coaches and the table on the other side of the mat can’t see it. Legacy multi-sided scoreboards solve that, but they’re expensive, bulky and often need a dedicated operator.
Takedown Advantage is a mounting system that holds two standard monitors back to back on a tripod stand, with the HDMI splitter and power strip built into the unit. The scoreboard content comes from Takedown Scoring and Stats, or from any other software-driven scoreboard such as FloArena or Trackwrestling, so no separate operator is needed.
What it costs
The Takedown Advantage mount is $249 in the Takedown Store. Add two monitors and a tripod stand, which are not included, and a complete dual-sided scoreboard comes in well under $500. If your school already has two spare monitors, the mount is the only purchase.
See Takedown Advantage for what’s in the box and the monitor, stand and adapter requirements, Buying Monitors for Takedown Advantage for shopping tips, and the assembly instructions for putting it together.
