Dynamic sports statistics application

Project Requirements
Sky required an application to record live football and rugby matches and catalogue the actions, creating a means of recording live statistics of the game. This information would then be made available for several clients as live feeds for their systems. The system also had to support an outside broadcast capability with a potentially unreliable network.

Solution
Hyperdrive Solutions Ltd developed a VB application which recorded actions assigned to certain keystrokes with the time element recorded as well. A second person would assist the data imputer while watching the match live. The application used a disconnected recordset to store the actions which reconnected to a remote SQL Server database if and when the connection could be established. .NET Web Services were used to provide the live sports statistics XML feeds to external clients. A website was also developed to display the matches and the data using XSL to transform the data.
