Automatic scorer

Okay kiddo, have you ever played a game and had someone keep score for you? Well, when we say "automatic scorer", we mean a special machine that can keep score for you all by itself!

It's like having a robot friend who always knows exactly how many points you and your team have, without anyone having to write it down or keep track.

This machine usually looks like a big screen or board that's connected to the game you're playing - whether it's basketball, bowling, or another fun game. As you play the game, the automatic scorer keeps track of your points and puts them up on the screen for everyone to see.

This way, no one can accidentally forget to write down a point, or start arguing about who actually won. The automatic scorer is there to make sure everyone is playing fair and square, and that the game is lots of fun for everyone involved!
