An arduino-controlled scoreboard for the board game Blood Bowl.

Scoring for each team.
- Single digit should suffice for each team - either a small array of LEDs or (better still) a revolving scorewheel?
- Audible touchdown celebration?

Turn timer (each turn is 4-minutes long)
- Perhaps a long row of LEDs that fills up from left to right for one player, right to left for the other?
- Audible warning as time runs short?
- Pause button?

Turn counter
- Needs to be able to be adjusted for pitch invasion kick-off table result.

Should contain the reserves/K.O./dead & injured boxes for each team down the front.

Above the LEDs, a score counter on each side and a speaker or central display in the middle.
- Central display could act as turn counter? Got an 8x8 R/G LED array that might work...

Currently prototyping the turn counter. It works as a counter already, the code needs some work to make it interruptable by the turn button (and possibly also a pause button).
