Super Coach scores on FanFooty to be delayed again

m0nty · 31 Jul 2007, 13:08

Unfortunately, due to the AFL sending me a "cease & desist" letter from their lawyer yesterday, I have made the decision to stop offering live Super Coach scores on FanFooty. We will go back to the practice from earlier this year of waiting until long after the games have finished each day to publish them - so that you'll see Friday scores on Saturday morning, Saturday scores on Sunday morning, and Sunday scores around about when the Super Coach web site is updated.

I apologise to all those SC fans who love seeing live scores for their teams. There is nothing I can do about it for this year. The AFL also wants us to stop publishing Dream Team scores, but we will continue to do so. Maybe some day the AFL will wake up to what the fans are clamouring for.

Damn.

What changed?

And how come you don't have to stop posting Dream Team score if they tell you to?

Our case is a lot stronger on DT scores than on SC scores.

I'm guessing this means the SuperCoach scores won't be on Game Day Live again either.

m0nty · 31 Jul 2007, 13:50

Dunno about that.

SJ · 31 Jul 2007, 13:56

Ah well.

Cheers for all your work anyway.

Nice work Vlad.

Watch out BigFooty - you`re next!
Keep up the good work Monty - even though I dont do it, perhaps you could do live scores for the AFLPA game?

hmmmm ok so the AFL have the rights to publish the stats before
Anyone else?? (Is this true)

If so then going back to delayed stats on ff would still be over stepping
The line legally? (I wonder)

There must be some clear legislation as to how and where these stats can
Be published!! (Where is this legislation in writing?)

Have we exhausted all possible options for fan footy posting DT and SC stats?
Live?(can we have a delay of just an hour and get away with that legally?)

The AFL are a bunch of twats we need to get something going here or we will have no stats to look at over future weekends ffs !!!!
