Dot Technology
Welcome to USDGC Live Coverage brought to you by DiscGolfCenter.com
Our crack team of pocket protector wearing IT guys will be infiltrating the course, and following the lead group to illustrate each and every shot as it happens. Our Dot Technology made a big splash the last 3 years, and we’re confident you’ll be even more impressed this year. You’ll be able to see the flight path of each shot. If someone throws a thumber over the top, you’d want to know… right? Follow the dots on twitter, where you’ll get an inside view of the tournament unlike any you’ve ever experienced before. And if you miss a hole or two it is ok, just go to the archive and check out the progress of your favorite disc golfer.
Dot Technology
This application is built in Flash. If you don’t have the Adobe Flash Player, you can get it here.
The application has several features including: dot notes, the lead group, and dot archive. These are built in to refresh automatically. You will not have to refresh every time you want an update. The hole will update every 45 seconds to make sure you do not miss a shot.
DOT NOTES: Follow the dots on twitter at http://www.twitter.com/usdgclive. We have hidden a dot in one of the lead group bags, and it will feed you information on what is happening on the course and what’s going on in the players heads. You can join the twitter crew with one of the many twitter clients or by follow along at http://www.twitter.com/usdgclive.
LEAD GROUP: On the top of the screen, you can click to open the lead group set of photos. This section also pulls in the scores and checks for updates every 15 seconds. You can find which color dot belongs to who, but remember, the red dot is always in the lead at the beginning of the round. Click it again, and it closes.
DOT ARCHIVE: You shall find all the archived holes played throughout the week in the archive. Click to open and persue between the tabs to see the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday archives. If it has not yet happened, there will be no graphic present. Click the archive again, and it closes. You can also use the button, “Go to current hole” to return to the action. If you want to see all of the details of a hole, please visit our online caddy book.
