<p></code></p>
<p>Page One Scoreboard Features:</p>
<p>Auto Updating: Previously only when the page would refresh would the scoreboard data reload. With the new version the score and clock stream in as the data is available.<br />
One click access to most relevant game links: In the three major game states, pre, in, and post the most relevant game links are available with a simple hover action. </p>
<p>Personalized: If you have a favorite team selected via personalization corner that team’s game will move to the front of the list of game modules and highlight yellow.<br />
Show the most number of games possible: It was critical to provide a view that allowed the most number of games visible at any time. </p>
<p>Special Event Treatment: As you saw this weekend we have greater flexibility to provide a way to message our fans on sport holidays. </p>
<p>Back-end feed aggregator: Remember those auto updating scores? A new feed aggregation mechanism allows us to combine multiple sport feeds into one allowing up-to-date score data within any sport tab you select. </p>

<p></code></p>
<p>Interior Scoreboard Features:</p>
<p>Update faster: With a change in architecture all new redesigned scoreboards received, on average, a 20% improvement in the time to deliver data to the fan from when we receive it. </p>
<p>Scoreboard Calendar:  A new calendar showing clearly what day you are on, how many games occur on that day, and simple navigation to move to past or future weeks.<br />
Key dates: One of the most requested features was a clear view of special events within the season, now reflected in the key dates area and denoted by a highlighted red style within the week calendar. </p>
<p>More Scoreboards: Another staple form scoreboards past that was brought back based on fan feedback, the ability to switch to other scoreboards easily. </p>
<p>Consolidated tools: The scoreboard tools allows us to feature all the other utilities throughout the site related to the current scoreboard in view. </p>
<p>Team Logos: On non-college scoreboards team logos were added to allow the fan to quickly spot the team they are looking for. Logos coming to college sports soon. </p>
<p>Personalized: If you have a favorite team selected via personalization corner that team’s game will move to the top of the list of game modules and highlight yellow. </p>
<p>Continuous improvement: The flexible design and change in front end architecture allows for more flexibility as fans needs change and additional features are developed.</p>
