Live Game - Beta Test Tonight

[Andrew]

I found a utility that allows a Live Webcast of games. I'll be testing it out Sunday at 9 ET, playing out one game.

You can access the broadcast here:

http://www.simgamingnetwork.com/blb/...ame/broadcast/

There is a demo page already up to give an idea of what it looks like. The page has a top frame and bottom frame, both of which can be scrolled separately. The top contains the Game Log and the bottom contains the Box Score.

The page is configured to automatically refresh every 20 seconds, so there is no need to do so yourself.

If this utility is reliable we will possibly use it for the all-star game and some playoff games.

Awesome! Can't wait!

Of course being biased I'd love to see Windy City vs. California...

But for the best game... Probably Maine vs. Sin City

[Andrew]

I didn't make all the games an option since everybody would just vote on their own game. I picked what I thought were the best matchups.

Had to go with Maine @ Sin City, best records in the league so far (along with Hartford), and also a pretty good pitching matchup.

Andrew if I can make a suggestion... can you slow down the refresh timer... 20 seconds just seems too fast. Looking at the page, everytime I got used to the page it refreshed again... maybe push it back to once every 30 or 45 seconds?

[Andrew]

I just changed it to 30 seconds. Thoughts?

[Lintyfresh85]

IMO, I think that's a world of difference. I like it a lot better.

You gave up on the Sox already? Bandwagon pink hatted fan.

good point. This test will be on Sunday instead (if the Red Sox aren't playing)

13K's for Mapalo....wish I could have watched that one live...

[Sully]

I can't vote...

[Andrew]

I closed the poll. I'm doing it Sunday (maybe) instead of tonight so the games will be different.

I'm assuming we'll see another late sim tonight...?
