Re: Hot match alert?

Which matches?

That is a good question.

I am thinking this could be a kind of a mix match criteria for rules folks that can be customized for a particular person.

Maybe you have a rules with weights. The rule gives a match a number then you multiply by the weight and bob's your uncle, you add them all up and the top numbers are in your queue.

So, I'm an old timer so I can put in some teams with low numbers I haven't forgotten yet in my dotage. The more of them that are in a match the better.

Maybe I like to have games that matter. So I put in some sort of a rule about teams in the hunt for top seeds. The more teams that have skin the game in the rank hunt (e.g. if this team wins, they have a lock on #1 seed), the higher the rule triggers. Maybe the later the round the more important the match gets. ...

Maybe you have a way to add other people's rules to yours with new weights.

Maybe you can just punt and say if it is on Karthik's queue, then I want it too.

Maybe you have ways of crowd sourcing matches where if enough people in the alert system are watching it, you should too.

I just want the tool. If you build it, Boy Howdy will I use it.
