As a thought (and as a fan of standards), can we come up with a convention for vBookie event titles?
Especially since they show up under the top level Lounge...
For example, the latest event is an A-League match, Sydney FC vs Queensland Roar.
This event is labelled simply "Soccer". I notice most events are similarly ambiguous.
I propose something like
Sport - DateOrCompAndRound - Teams
so for the above match, we'd have (forgive my date and round, I don't actually know when the match is or what round we're up to)
Football - 22/2/2008 - Sydney FC v Queensland Roar
or
Football - 07/08 A-League Round 10 - Sydney FC v Queensland Roar
Maybe include a venue? To demonstrate my point, how clear is this list;
Cricket - 2006/7 Ashes Tour - England in Australia
Cricket - 2006/7 Ashes Match 1 - England in Australia at Gabba
Cricket - 2008 CBA Match 1 - India v Australia at Gabba
NRL - 2008 Rnd 1 - Raiders v Sea Eagles in Canberra
NRL - 2006 Grand Final - Storm v Broncos in Sydney
AFL - 2008 Rnd 12 - Geelong v Richmond in Richmond
Football - 2010 WCQ - Australia v Qatar in Sydney
Bowling - 2008 Australian Open Winner
No ambiguity whatsoever, and I don't need to open it up to see firstly that it's a vBookie event and not a discussion. Also one can see by simply looking at the topics whether or not it's one of interest...
