Does anyone know of an alert system that can send a text or e-mail or something (tweet?) with details on hot matches starting in 5 minutes?

Ideally it would give whos in the match and why it's important (e.g.Poofs, Box of Rocks & Orange Crate vs Robonauts, Mechanical Mayhem, & HOT. Poofs planning to break out their 9 ball Auto if they can convince B.O.R and O.C. to give up their bounders ;-)

Dr. Joe J.
TBA can already send "upcoming match notifications" which go out about 5-7 minutes before the target match is about to start.

I don't see it being too hard to add a button to the TBA Site to "subscribe me to hot matches" that adds in all the relevant Subscriptions in for you.

What (mathematical) criteria would you suggest for determining a "hot" match? Or does anybody have a hand-curated list?

EDIT: I need a "bat symbol" that calls me to threads where people have questions for me
