Live game updates

[Steph Cowley]

We are going to trial 2 ways of providing live updates for home Blaze games.

The first method is up and working, you can follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/dragonsdenforum

The second method is directly through the forum. The "Cover It Live" window near the top of the Live Scoreboard section will (hopefully) show all the updates sent through Twitter and display them on the forum. Updates will likely only be score updates/major penalty/event updates. Stats such as SoG and total PiM will be added to the game thread after the game.

Anyone can provide updates to the forum via Twitter, if you are willing to cover either an entire game or even just 1 period, PM me your Twitter username so I can add it to the list of updates that will be published.

As this is the first time we've tried this we can't be certain it will work right tonight. If there are any problems please PM me or reply to this post detailing what the problem is and we will try to get it fixed for the next game.
We will also try to use both of these methods for updating away game scores.

Ice hockey must be the hardest sport to get results for. They are rarely posted here unless you want to know what happened in September. BIH used to be Ok but its having a revamp. The Elite website sometimes gets them. If you go to the opposing team website they might have them hit and miss.
Blazes own website doesn't update for at least 24hrs.

Anyone know where to go to get up to date scores/results?

If not, we hope to provide better updates for the rest of the season. Been a hectic few weeks and haven't had chance to provide live updates.
