OK, I was thinking either:

You get a choice of names to follow the scores of.

Or

It just follows the major courts, as benjyrama said.


What do you reckon?

i do like the sound of that benjyrama's idea

i say the choice of names..
but i dont mind following the major courts either

if you had the choice of names there would still be clashes cos sum top seeds could be playing at the same time (different match obviously)... it wouldnt totally eradicate the problem would it..

yeah .. so the major courts should be well and good

coming back to the world cup... anyone found out how to convert the PSM into a live ticker of play to play action? (like those on matchcasts) that would be so cool...

Just one thing ... scores in all caps sucks
You could convert the text to normal names with only the 1st letter capitalised ... the code wouldnt be too long now would it?

Applies to both the above two suggestions:

The score is just pulled from http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/sol/shared/bsp/hi/footba...tml/in_vision1.stm and I don't have the man power or time to put scores in myself so it has to come from some site I can nick it off.    The BBC page is good because it's short and easy to cut up.

I suppose I could make it capitalise the start of each word and small letter the rest but I'm not sure it's really worth it tbh. =/

If you really, really care about having it in caps I'll do it, but you could probably cope with it for a couple weeks...

yeah i guess i could but it looks a lot better that way

Dont you just have to use the string to lower function and then search and capitalise the first letter?

Yeah i know ... i read the source ... ive been doing this stuff for months now you know

Actually I'm referring to setting the psm as a live commentary. but i can't find any site to pull the data from.
