Live Scoreboard Score Change
A broadcast score bug: the home score rolls from 102 to 105 with a +3 pop and a sweep of team color, then the away side scores two. Digit strips, one shared timeline, own dark panel.
Also known as: scoreboard animation css, score change animation, sports score bug css, number animation css.

}Customizing this snippet
- Color: set
--txt-coloron the element or a parent. Currently previewing#3b82f6. - Font size: set
--txt-size. Every other dimension is inem, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing40px. - Speed: change the duration on the
transitionoranimationshorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm. - Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
