Scoreboard problem

I have this plugin that I'm working on and it relies heavily on a scoreboard, but sometimes the scoreboard just disappears. My question is, can anything cause a scoreboard to "crash"? Like everything continues to function but the scoreboard just disappears.

 

@Irantwomiles
That is most likely either a client side problem or you have another plugin/class re-setting the player's scoreboard.

 

Thanks you, you actually helped a lot.

Edit: I have 1 scoreboard that displays information and another that changes people's names. Could that be the problem?

 

@Irantwomiles
It can be. If either one of them creates a new scoreboard instead of modifying the existing one, then that is what is causing the problem. If you have access to the source code for both plugins, go to both plugins and make sure it only creates a new scoreboard only if the player does not have a scoreboard.

 

Well its my plugin, and I know I'm creating a second one. So I'll give that a try.
