Abstract
A scorer includes a frame and a plurality of blocks configured to slide between a first end and a second end of the frame. The frame includes a rail that supports the blocks to slide between the first end and the second end of the frame. The frame includes a base on the first end that is configured to electrically connect to the blocks. Each block is configured to contact and electrically connect to a neighboring block and/or the base. The blocks include a light that is configured to illuminate when the block is supplied power. When each block electrically connects to the base, the base supplies power to that block and the light illuminates the block. The blocks optionally include magnets that are configured to mechanically couple the blocks together when a user slides the blocks into contact.
