Live Tennis Scores

Live tennis score notifications and a scoreboard of the matches in play

Description

Notifies you while you watch when a tennis match goes on court, when a set is won and when a match finishes, and optionally on break points. Opening the add-on shows the matches in play with set scores, the current game's points, a marker against the player serving and a break-point marker. Covers ATP, WTA, Challenger and ITF. Scores come from the Live Tennis API (livetennisapi.com), which the add-on's author also operates. You need a key from that service; its free plan needs no card and is enough for this add-on. Paste the key into the add-on's settings. With no key the add-on does nothing. The free plan allows 100 requests a day, so the add-on checks every 20 minutes by default, will not check more often than every 15 minutes, and counts every request it makes so it can stop before it runs the allowance out. That is a real limit on how promptly it can report: break points in particular last only a few points, so a check every 15 minutes catches only some of them.

News

v1.0.0 - First release. - Service notifications for a match going on court, a set being won, a match finishing, and break points when enabled. - Scoreboard window listing the matches in play with set scores, current points, a serve marker and a break-point marker. - Checks every 20 minutes by default and never faster than every 15, and keeps a persisted daily count of every request it makes, so a day stays inside the data provider's free allowance of 100 whatever the size of the live list. - A match is never reported as finished on the strength of a live list that was cut short.
