live sports · how it works

Tootsies calls the game

Point her at a sports channel and she posts live commentary as games happen — World Cup soccer, NBA, and whatever else is in season — in that same sharp bartender voice.

The one idea: she’s not making it up. Every line is grounded in real live data — the actual score, who just scored, box-score numbers, and live odds — pulled the moment she posts. If a feed goes dark, she goes quiet rather than guess.

A pregame setup, a goal reaction, and a check-in — three of the triggers she’ll fire in one game.

When she posts · the trigger timeline

a cadence engine decides “post now? on what?”

She doesn’t post on a fixed timer. A cadence engine watches the game state and fires on moments that actually matter.

PREGAME rundown GOAL reaction ∼10 MIN check-in HALFTIME read GOAL reaction CLUTCH tighter pace FINAL recap milestone (never held back) routine (spaced so concurrent games don’t wall)
Goals and finals fire immediately. Routine check-ins are spaced so she doesn’t flood the channel when three games overlap.

What she talks about · the depth

real data, not vibes

Each post pulls from several pools of live data. The game always leads; the market line is secondary color, not the headline.

🔥 WHO’S COOKING standout player + their real numbers goals · assists rating · key passes pts · reb · ast from the live box score every game 📈 SHAPE OF THE GAME how the game is actually going possession % shots · corners FG% · rebounds from live team match stats every game 📝 PREGAME SETUP sets the table before kickoff formations recent form head-to-head pregame only (too slow for a goal reaction) 💰 BETTING LINE secondary color, not the lead sportsbook line player props market implied % slow triggers only never on a goal (market lags)
Each post picks the sharpest angle from what’s available — she doesn’t dump all four at once.

Where the data comes from

multiple feeds so one outage can’t take her dark

She fans out to several providers every minute. If one is down, another covers. She never invents a number a feed didn’t give her.

Quality & honesty

she scores herself before posting

Every composed line passes through a quality judge before it goes out. A weak line gets dropped. She quotes only the numbers the feed actually gave her — the score, the stat, the line — never anything invented.

what she does

  • quotes the real live score
  • names players by their actual box-score numbers
  • gives the sportsbook line as-is
  • goes quiet if a feed is down
  • drops a post if the quality judge says it’s weak

what she never does

  • invent a score or a stat
  • roll a live game forward to a final
  • make up a betting line
  • cite a stale pre-match line as live odds
  • post when data is missing

Setup

A mod picks a sports channel in /menu and can choose which sports to follow (leave it blank and she covers everything in season). She posts there in production; while it’s in staging, lines go to #bot-logs only — so you can read what she’d say before the room sees it.

OFF no fetches, no spend STAGING lines → #bot-logs only room stays quiet PRODUCTION posts live to sports channel real commentary, real room
Move through the stages in /menu → experiments. Staging lets you read her takes before they go public.

One post at a time

concurrent games don’t wall the channel

When several games are live at once, she posts at most one routine read per channel per tick — the rest wait for the next loop. A goal or a final is a milestone and never waits; it goes out the moment it fires, then counts against the tick budget so the next routine read spaces itself around it.

GAME A Spain – Germany GAME B Lakers – Celtics GAME C Knicks – Heat TICK 1 ⚽ GOAL → POSTS NOW milestone — never held check-in ready deferred — budget spent check-in ready deferred — budget spent TICK 2 no trigger — quiet check-in → POSTS NOW routine — spaced out check-in ready deferred — wait next tick milestone — goal · final · always immediate routine — check-in · interval · staggered one per tick
A goal fires the moment it’s detected. Routine reads for other games wait for the next tick — no wall, nothing lost.

The game leads, the line follows

priority order inside every post

She has a strict priority order for what goes in a post. The player standout and the shape of the game come first, always. The betting line is secondary color — one clause that follows the game read, never the lead. And on a goal she never quotes the line at all: the market hasn’t repriced yet, so a % right after a score would be stale.

1 — WHO’S COOKING the standout player + their actual numbers 2 — SHAPE OF THE GAME possession · shots · how it feels 3 — BETTING LINE one clause · secondary · follows, never leads ⚽ ON A GOAL no line quoted — ever the market hasn’t repriced a stale % right after a goal would read as wrong market lags the event by design
The player and the game are always the story. The line follows as a single secondary beat — and disappears entirely right after a goal.

Watch which sports

pick the games your room wants

A mod can narrow which sports she follows from /menu → channels. Leave it blank and she covers everything in season. Set a filter and she only tracks those sports — so a World-Cup-only room doesn’t get flooded with NFL and MLB games nobody asked for.

/menu → channels watched sports picker ✓  World Cup Soccer ✓  NBA     NFL     MLB · NHL · more… she covers each tick ⚽ World Cup every live game · every trigger 🏈 NBA every live game · every trigger NFL · MLB · NHL skipped — no fetch, no spend leave blank — covers everything in season
With no filter she covers every sport in season. A two-sport filter means she only fetches and posts for those two — less noise, no wasted API calls.
