You no longer need to see internal database "eventid"s and "matchid"s floating around on The Blue Alliance anymore. You can access events and matches directly by using logically constructed names for them:
Team 177:
thebluealliance.net/tbatv/team/177
Boston Regional 2009 Event:
thebluealliance.net/tbatv/event/2009ma
Boston Regional 2009 Qualifications Match 1:
thebluealliance.net/tbatv/match/2009ma_qm1
Boston Regional 2009 Finals 1 Match 1:
thebluealliance.net/tbatv/match/2009ma_f1m1
(ok, so I know there's only 1 set of finals, but current you specify the set number to keep it consistent with everything else.)
Now you can guess the URL for any page on The Blue Alliance! The error pages if you guess wrong need some work, but that'll get improved. Old URLs work too, but this is cooler.
Let me know if you run into any errors or have any ideas on how to improve this!
