Live Score Ticker Overlay

WHAT IT DOES

Live Score Ticker Overlay automatically detects sports scores and game information on any webpage — including ESPN, CBS Sports, Yahoo Sports, and other sports sites — and displays them in a compact, always-visible ticker overlay. The ticker shows team names, current scores, and game status (Live, Final, Halftime, Scheduled) with color-coded indicators. Click any game in the ticker to navigate to its full game page. The tool works across all sports and leagues, keeping you updated on scores while you browse other content.

WHERE IT RUNS

This extension works on any website across the entire web. It functions on sports news sites, team pages, league sites, and any page that displays scores or game information. The tool works across all domains and adapts to various score display formats, including ESPN, CBS Sports, Yahoo Sports, and general text patterns.

HOW TO USE

Install the extension and navigate to any webpage with sports scores. A compact ticker appears at the top or bottom of the page showing all detected games with their scores and status. Click any game in the ticker to navigate to the game page. Use the overlay panel to customize the experience: toggle the score ticker on or off, choose the ticker position (Top or Bottom), adjust the refresh interval in seconds (10-300), toggle game status display on or off, and click "Refresh Scores" to manually update the ticker. The status area shows how many games were detected.

TECHNICAL SECTION — SCORE DETECTION AND TICKER ENGINE

The extension uses a multi-strategy detection engine to find sports scores on any webpage. It queries common score selectors (.score, .game-score, .scoreboard) and uses regex patterns to parse team names and scores from text. The tool also includes site-specific detection for major sports sites (ESPN, CBS Sports, Yahoo Sports) to improve extraction accuracy. Each detected game is parsed into team names, scores, and status (Live, Final, Halftime, Scheduled). The ticker is created using DOM manipulation with inline CSS and positioned at the top or bottom of the page. Games are displayed horizontally with auto-scrolling for multiple games. Color-coding uses green for Final, red for Live, yellow for Halftime, and gray for Scheduled. The ticker updates automatically at the configured refresh interval, and a MutationObserver re-scans the page for new scores.

THE PANEL — DRAG / PER-SITE POSITION / SNAP / COLLAPSE / RESIZE / ESCAPE

The overlay panel is fully interactive and designed for seamless multitasking. Drag it anywhere on the screen using the handle at the top of the panel; the position is saved per site so it stays where you left it across sessions. The panel includes a snap-to-edge feature that gently anchors the overlay to the nearest screen edge when released. Click the collapse button to minimize the panel to a compact pill showing the current score status; expand it again with a single click. Resize the panel vertically by dragging the bottom-right corner to view more controls. Press the Escape key at any time to instantly close the overlay; it reappears on the next page navigation or refresh.

PLEASE NOTE

This extension requires the free BotGentz companion extension to function, as it provides the underlying content script injection and cross-origin communication framework. No personal data, browsing history, or score data is stored, transmitted, or shared. Settings are stored locally in your browser using GM_setValue and are never sent to any external server. The extension does not access or store login credentials, financial data, or personally identifiable information. The tool reads score information visible on the page and does not access any sports API or private data. Score detection accuracy depends on the page structure and formatting; some sites may not be fully supported. The ticker is based on visible scores on the page and does not provide real-time updates beyond the page's own updates.
