The UPA publishes live scores with the score reporter for UPA events...
not always its usually up to the td, and usually when the TDs do report "live" there is a delay because whoever is responsible is walking among all of the fields. and calling the scores into someone with a computer who then posts them
they also do not post point summaries or recaps until weeks afterward, as opposed to seconds after the point finishes...
(the tech we are working on would be able to post audio clips, and/or text summaries transcribed via computer program from voicemails - its pretty sweet stuff)
plus, can you comment on the upa's site? or watch the updates happen live?
or is it more like sitting there clicking "refresh" about 10 times a second?
what the upa does in terms of score reporting is certainly a great service but lets be honest when you are getting score updates from your nfl games are you getting them from nfl.com or espn?
i think what we do here will be valuable, and hopefully people enjoy it :)
just my opinion though,
-matt
