Live Match Experience

The live match experience pulls every active court into a unified feed. Score updates from official-mode devices and venue scoring tablets land in the API, which fans out via Server-Sent Events to mobile and web clients and via Web Push and APNs/FCM to backgrounded devices. The result is sub-second latency from end-throw to fan notification, even on flaky stadium Wi-Fi.

The live scores screen shows every ongoing match across all courts with team names, current score, throw indicator and a live pin. Tap any match to drop into a detail view with three lenses: the timeline (chronological point-by-point history with end markers, who scored and how many points), the court view (a top-down visual representation of jack and boules with measurement annotations when officials provide them) and the commentary feed (text updates posted by judges, organisers or auto-generated from key events).

Following is the personalisation backbone. Tap a player or team to follow them; subsequent updates arrive as silent badges in-app and as Web Push / APNs notifications when the app is closed. Score alerts are configurable per follow — every point, end-of-mène, set-point only, or final score — so superfans can opt in and casual fans can keep notifications minimal. Multi-match view tiles two or four matches in a grid for tournament finals weekends, refreshing live without remounting. iOS Live Activities surface the current score on the lock screen and Dynamic Island; Android Material You uses an ongoing notification with progress chips. When a followed match ends, a results card is pushed with quick links to highlights, the full timeline and the next match for the same player.
