New: live scoring push notifications

The General | Founder

Mon 4 Mar 2019

The General here with some exciting news! We're keen to keep expanding the value that you receive from Superbru Premium, and our latest development on this front is available now: realtime match scoring push notifications through the Superbru iOS and Android app for Super Rugby and the Premier League.

Once activated, you'll be able to receive push notifications on your phone for the half time and full time score, as well as events like tries, goals, penalties, red cards and more. Perfect for keeping an eye on the game when you're not able to get to the TV!

How to enable match notifications

We've not turned the notifications on by default as we didn't want to surprise and annoy you with a sudden barrage of Ngani Laumape tries or Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang goals.

Look for the bell icon in the app after making your picks, or on the pool results / picks / live match views. You can configure notifications on a per-match or per-team basis. For example, you might always like full live scoring when your favourite team plays, but be content with half and full time scores for the rest.

For this to work, you'll need to have enabled push notifications for Superbru. If…

Works well, enjoyed it on Saturday, watching football while keeping track of rugby in the background. If it passes Beta, expect/hope it can be added to other Superbru tournaments.

Hey John, yes. If you make your picks on the app, you'll see a box at the bottom of the picks page which allows you to configure push notifications for the round. This feature allows you to switch all games on or specifically select certain matches. You can then also choose whether you would like the basics such as HT/FT updates or more detailed event notifications. 5 Mar 11:14

Again the real notifications we need is when a game is about to start and we haven't made our pick I can't stress this enough

Hi Nico, 'picks needed' notifications have been in place for a while for all Superbru users. These are usually delivered a couple of hours before a pick deadline. If you haven't been receiving them, it's worth checking that you have allowed notifications from us in your phone's settings.

Another more last-minute notification that reminds you about an imminent kick-off is something we can look at adding with this new feature though. Thanks for the feedback. 5 Mar 11:20

Competitive players wait till the last minute for teams, toss and weather before making picks. So yes I meant notifications for games about to start say 15-30 min before kickoff that are not yet picked. Requested this multiple times on many different platforms without response 5 Mar 14:51

Hi @Zandman, it might be worth adding some perspective to what Jack has already mentioned above. The pre-round notifications are already available and we've considered the inclusion of a pre-match notification as well.

However, for a tournament like the Super Rugby with more than 200,000 players and 7 matches per round that's potentially 1.4 million notifications to be sent during a round. It takes a fair amount of time for the system to check who has and who hasn't made a pick, then queue and send the required notifications. So there's a risk that a match-level notification might only arrive after kickoff which obviously isn't ideal. A round based notification system as much more efficient in that regard. Ideally we'd love to send pre-match notifications to everyone but that requires a lot more optimisation to reach everyone in time which we'll work on in due course. 7 Mar 14:31

However, that said, have you considered making your initial picks in advance and then reviewing and editing them as needed closer to kickoff depending on the match circumstances? That way you know you'll never miss a pick at least and you'll be able to get the competitive edge by applying your pre-match contextual knowledge to your pick. 7 Mar 14:32

If I make a pick and need to review it I would not know which is my final pick and what still needs to be reviewed. Also I do do it for some tournaments but still one or two games gets missed its these that are crucial in competitive pools. As said many times the notifications can be turned off and on by users for what they need if they don't need then they won't get it. If they picked already they should not get the notifications. It's only for people who haven't picked. It would also up the engagement for the lacklustre players... If the issue like you said is that the system can not quickly enough see who picked and who didn't then send it to everybody who opted in. But make opting in optional (opt out by default). Or even better make it a premium only feature and then you only have to look through premium players. 9 Mar 08:52

Would it be possible to get done on all Rugby Union predictions ?
