curswine Edits: 1,123,759 Posts: 1,224 Joined: 2020		This is a message to user Migz3rrr, hopefully you'll see it. I've been repeatedly deleting submissions you've made for tennis this week and I want to explain why. I have no problem with you uploading events for ATP/WTA 125 events, the only reason they are being deleted is because they don't follow the correct formatting of every other tennis event. They should be in the following format: "[Tournament Name] [Player X Surname] vs [Player Y Surname]" Right now you are including the players first names which is the problem. Please also note I will delete the French Open events once the tournament is over to add events which do follow the formatting and contain results data. Hopefully that clears up the reasoning and you can adjust the event name format in the future. zag, Ovokx

Migz3rrr Edits: 4,009 Posts: 5 Joined: 2025		Hi Curswine and Zag, First of all, I am really sorry for the delay in responding. I completely missed the direct email and just discovered this forum thread. I completely understand the issue. I built an automated Python script to help populate the tennis calendar, but it was scraping the full names (First Name + Surname) instead of just the surnames. I have already updated my code to match your required formatting: "[Tournament Name] [Player X Surname] vs [Player Y Surname]". Also, I noticed you mentioned the need for results data. Once my edit rights are restored and the new formatting is validated, I will enhance the script to automatically fetch and add the match results as well, so you won't have to do it manually. Thank you for explaining the rules clearly, for your patience, and for your great work on the platform. Could you please restore my edit rights so I can run a quick test with the new formatting? curswine, Ovokx

Excellent, thank you for your understanding. I truly appreciate your contribution, and including 125 tournament matches will be a great addition. Hopefully zag will restore your rights soon.

Migz3rrr Edits: 4,009 Posts: 5 Joined: 2025		I am reaching out to inform you that I have recently updated my integration script to strictly align with TheSportsDB's data standards. Specifically, I have standardized the event naming format. Additionally, I have successfully implemented a new module to automate the addition of individual player results. I will continue to monitor the integration to ensure everything runs smoothly. Thank you for your ongoing support and for all the hard work you put into maintaining this platform. I truly appreciate your collaboration. zag

I truly appreciate your collaboration. Could you just check your script for how the result information is being displayed, I've noticed a few of the French Open results saying the wrong player won. For example https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/2477627-roland-garros-quevedo-vs-svitolina says "Quevedo beat Svitolina 0-2" but Sviotlina won the match. https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/2477571-roland-garros-ferro-vs-andreeva is another which says "Ferro beat Andreeva 0-2" but Andreeva won the match and the championship. Some more of the same: https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/2477638-roland-garros-navarro-vs-jovic https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/2479281-roland-garros-oliynykova-vs-shnaider https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/2477648-roland-garros-bandecchi-vs-kasatkina https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/2477649-roland-garros-sherif-vs-gauff https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/2477651-roland-garros-jacquemot-vs-sabalenka Also Anisimova beat Grabner 0-0? The match ended in a walkover after Grabher retired after the first set. https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/2477641-roland-garros-anisimova-vs-grabher Please can you check the quality of the data you're importing.

As for Migz3rrr's earlier issue of including first name, wouldn't it be good to have first name and if it's available, we can use it. I'm just kicking around how to split out tournament name from player X and player Y.

I'm just kicking around how to split out tournament name from player X and player Y. I agree with your points, but as with a lot of things here we're fitting round pegs into square holes. All sports need to use the same data fields and not all would require a tournament, and player X and Y fields. The main reason I oppose the first names being used is because we have approx. 80,000 events, across both the ATP/WTA, already added using just the surnames and I think keeping all events with one standard format outweighs the addition of player first names.

I'll go hit up my local AI but just trying to think of a way to parse that properly. After the 'vs' is prob the easy part. It's splitting the tourney from the player last name.

curswine Edits: 1,123,759 Posts: 1,224 Joined: 2020		I've also just noticed duplicate events are being uploaded ... https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/2483188-lexus-ilkley-open-dada-mascoll-vs-shymanovich https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/2483212-lexus-ilkley-open-dada-mascoll-vs-shymanovich https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/2483214-lexus-ilkley-open-dada-mascoll-vs-shymanovich https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/2483216-lexus-ilkley-open-dada-mascoll-vs-shymanovich https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/2483172-lexus-ilkley-open-dada-mascoll-vs-shymanovich https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/2483127-lexus-ilkley-open-dada-mascoll-vs-shymanovich Please can you check your code and data sources again otherwise I need to delete what you're uploading again.

Can you post which one it is? If it is before the French Open it will be one of mine and I'll take a look at it.

pbertain Edits: 0 Posts: 5 Joined: 2023		OK... one super last question: I see this field in the API -> "tennis_tournament". Is that field used?

		Posted: 08 Jun 2026 06:05
pbertain Edits: 0 Posts: 5 Joined: 2023		OK.. for today, I just found this one: "home_team": "Lexus Ilkley Open Dada Mascoll", Her full name is "Savannah Dada-Mascoll" and even on Google results, it's kind of messed up: I. Shymanovich 6 6 Dada-Mascoll, Savannah 0 4 Ugh... If you're a professional sport player, you should be forced to have a simple name to parse.

curswine Edits: 1,123,759 Posts: 1,224 Joined: 2020		@Migz3rrr can you please reply in the next 24 hours or I will ask for your editing rights to be revoked again as I am finding more and more problems with the data you're uploading. Such as these events being added: https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/2483173-lexus-ilkley-open-kobori-vs-kuwata https://www.thesportsdb.com/event/2483190-lexus-ilkley-open-kobori-vs-naef Kobori playing twice at the same time against different players, only the Naef - Kobori match occurred https://www.lta.org.uk/fan-zone/international/lexus-ilkley-open/match-centre/?page=match-details&matchId=RS011&trnId=9005&year=2026&tab=stats You're also constantly uploading the same event I posted earlier again and again:

Migz3rrr Edits: 4,009 Posts: 5 Joined: 2025		Hi! Sorry for the late reply. Could you please just add a recent event without specifying a score, so that I can fix these two bugs in my script: - Duplicate entries - Incorrect results Thanks in advance! Mig

curswine Edits: 1,123,759 Posts: 1,224 Joined: 2020		When do you intend to add results data?

zag Edits: 184,813 Posts: 4,031 Joined: 2020		The event 'strResult' field needs to have something like the below so I can automatically sync the results to a player: "Noskova beat Kostyuk" I've updated so it looks for "bt" also, but currently they are all empty from migz3rrr import. EDIT: Also without the round number of the previous import its not easy to select just wimbledon results any more.

curswine Edits: 1,123,759 Posts: 1,224 Joined: 2020		It's been well over a week now since I asked when results will be added and there's been no response and no results added. Can yet another pause be added to Migz3rrr's editing rights until the question can be answered, I also don't like the idea of a bot running continuously adding with no oversight from anyone as there is no communication from the person running it. zag
