Wow! Big news here! Love it!

It will be great to have a page like https://www.thesportsdb.com/apifootball.php in order to know which competitions will be available and help out to link/create relative teams

Big news and big work hehe, 8hrs later I think its finished and all the internal ID's are already updated. NCAA was not fun to do but I got there The other leagues were easy in comparison!

Event artwork, YouTube Highlights and adding Players would be the most useful at this point for the different basketball leagues and teams.

I have checked each league for new teams and added any missing ones.

Basketball Live Scores should now work on front page for the first time during an event.

NOTE: Still missing is VTB league sync and cup competitions. These are much harder as they have teams from different countries. For now they will stay manual.

The new basketball features are now complete I hope. Lets see how it goes

- 14 Basketball leagues now update each day
- Basketball Livescores available for all the above leagues on front page
- Basketball available on V2 API
- Basketball Livescore event status added


Cup and world competitions remain manually updated.

Found a bit of an error on player honours that the honour was assigned to the players current team rather than their historical team.

- Added the option to manually select a team when adding a player honour.

There are loads of older historical honours that have the wrong team, not a big issue but would be good to fix as many as possible to by deleting and re-doing them with the correct team.

I'll be happy to amend this, but it will be great to also be able to split honours won as player and as coach

This seems like a lot of unnecessary work, it should be possible to extrapolate the team an honour was won with from the date of when the player(s) played for the team.

It also doesn't work for non-team sports.

Yes I agree, I will look into solutions.

- Timeline sync for Soccer Events

Click the blue sync icon below the main scores. Only available to mods for now.

Very experimental for now as we still have a lot of missing players. I tried to make it easy by allowing a moderator to add the player with a link if they are found to be missing.

In order to check if honours were successfully linked (I'm thinking on players who played for different teams on the same season), maybe we can group honours in something like this displaying the team:

Moderators can now add players automatically from the lineup sync feature

I tend to do this for players who are in the actual lineup instead of syncing the whole team. This just makes the teams look nicer and its easier to find photos and data on them.

I've been working very hard in the background on this as it was my mistake in the first place. The honours are coming together now but still loads to work on which I will continue to go through, competition by competition.

Looks great though when its done

- Made some big performance improvements today. There was a small sacrifice on the free tier for API access that lastevents only returns home events. I think this is a good balance as that call took a lot of CPU load and seems to be used very widely.

- Various other performance improvements

It would be great if we could post kits from the 1970-2021 seasons

Its possible, but the team must have one event from that season listed somewhere. A quick hack would be to add a single event in that year.
