Template

Templates tell the software how and when to generate tweets for certain game actions.
By default, 6 templates for automatic tweets are provided:

Game Open

On Score

On Score Tied

End of Period

End of Period Tied

Game Over


When one of these game actions occurs, the textbox in the Twitter toolbar will automatically
populate with the information defined in its template. Note that automatic tweets are only
generated when a Twitter user is signed in, and they are not sent until the user clicks the
Tweet button.

Select one of the available templates from the drop-down box to view the information it
contains. The On End of Period template is shown as an example:

End of the <<TopBottomText>> of the <<CurInningText>>, <<AbbrWinning>> leads
<<ScoreWinning>> - <<ScoreLosing>>.

To edit the template, simply type in the textbox.

To return the template to its default text, click .

To turn off a particular type of automatic tweet, uncheck Enabled.

The information in <<double carets>> is known as a “markup”. Markups are
placeholders that will be swapped with real-time game data in the actual tweet.

For example, <<AbbrWinning>> is replaced by the leading team’s abbreviated name.
Click the [>>] button to view a complete list of available markups, and click on a
markup to insert it into the textbox at the location of the cursor.
