I went for a hybrid approach between the ideal (only updating from Thursday - Saturday for an event that is running) and the lazy (update all favorites all the time). The app will actually get an alarm to wake up at the frequency that you choose, but it will only update favorites that appear in the "Current" tab. So if you have 10 favorite events & only 2 of them are happening this weekend, it will pull data for those 2 events. If none of your favorites are happening now, it won't pull down any updates from the server. So if you leave automatic updates enabled after the season is over, the most that will happen at the set period is a few DB reads.

My plan for the next version will make this less of an issue.
