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.
Awesome, sounds like a good solution.
