"Wow! That's incredible voice recognition technology. When I called it seemed to understand everything I said and didn't screw up once."

Good observation. It's not regular speech recognition technology. What I have done is specify what responses to expect from a caller and the voice browser will compare what you say against what I tell it to expect. So, it's best to make your options as vocally different as possible (e.g. team, competition). I've also allowed for variations ("competition", "competition match", "a competition match").

"BTW (dare I ask) how much did it cost for them to host your VXML?"

Sure. It was free.

"Oh yeah, and if you need access to a mySQL database, I know a friend at school who owns a web server and he also has a mySQL server running. I use it and haven't had any problems, I bet I could convince him to allow you to use it if you need it (for free of course.) He also allows php, perl, etc, and you can get him to add access to anything else you need (I was actually the one who got him to add php access.) He can give you web space, a mySQL server, or both; whatever you need."

Yes, that would be good.
