1. A method of operating an electronic basketball scoreboard apparatus including an electronic scoring system having at least a processor, the method comprising the steps of:
transmitting a communication link to a user device from a data transmission module of the electronic scoring system to initiate the communication link with the user device before receiving at least one game parameter;
receiving, in the data transmission module from the communicatively coupled user device, the at least one game parameter;
operating, via the processor, a basketball game based on the received game parameter;
receiving, by the processor from a first score sensor, a first indication of a ball passing through a first basketball hoop affixed to a backboard having a camera;
receiving, by the processor from a second score sensor, a second indication of a ball passing through a second basketball hoop affixed to the backboard;
determining, via the processor, a first score of the basketball game based on the first indication from the first score sensor;
determining, via the processor, a second score of the basketball game based on the second indication from the second score sensor;
recording, via the camera, video of the basketball game;
generating, based on the first and second score, a graphical overlay and overlaying the graphical overlay onto the recorded video;
transmitting, from the data transmission module to the user device, the recorded video;
updating, in response to an indication from one of the first sensor and the second sensor, the graphical overlay; and
transmitting, in real-time, from the data transmission module to the user device, the graphical overlay.
