NBL web page needs a spoiler alert

From perth, waited for the game to start at 2pm our time, i jumped on the web page and i know the game has finished, why do you put the scores when an other state hasn't even started watching the game? Shouldn't be there for all to see?

On your site, you have the scores, right? AFL surely does the same.

Isaac is a nutter. Seriously. I don't want any scores on nbl.com.au until i have had the opportunity to watch all games on demand. Maybe there could be a weekly ok from me to the league and then they could update all scores, ladders etc.?

Waiting for the 2PM game on TEN is a bit different to going on demand, you're exaggerating it a bit HO.

mk, i'd avoid the NBL webpage if you're watching a match on delay from Perth and don't want to know the scores, they're going to have the scores for the rest of us and it's reasonable for them to do so

They're also going to have the scores for those people in Perth who want to know the score but don't want to wait for the TEN replay of the game.

The more important question is: did you really think that the NBL website would NOT have the scores up of a game that had finished? If that occurred, there would be ten times more people complaining.

I dont think HO went far enough. I think the NBL needs to implement a complete blackout. Perhaps lock all attendees at games inside the stadium, with all mobile devises confiscated, until the OP has watched the game on Ten so there is no chance of word getting out about the result.

Yep, and now someone can accuse Paul of exaggerating. Just a bit.

Are you insane? Or are you joking?

What about all the people that want to know the score? Or the people wanting to watch the livestats feed? You have the latest available content on your website at all times. Simple.

Don't go looking at NBL on the internet and you wan't get a spoiler!

Just saying, there should be a click some where if u wana follow or find out the score or scores! Not saying not to show, but don't put it up on the main page. Just click on ure teams hm page if u wana find out. Some ppl mite for get what time games start 4 instance perth has'nt got day light saving. So didnt notice the game had started earlyer.

No, you always make the latest information easy to find. Ladder, scores, etc. That's what the majority of people are looking for and so you put it right on the front page.

The AFL hasn't had every game live until the season just gone, yet they have always had the live scores on their webpage.

This thread should have a spoiler alert, as having just witnessed the stupidity of some people, my day is ruined.

Maybe the NBA should do this too? Great idea.
The source for results not showing the results....without a delay.

3 minutes of my life I wont get back.

I email The West to ask them not to print scores in any future editions unless they come in a sealed section. They got back to me and said how about they just make the last 10 pages of the paper blank. Thats one problem solved.

I'm with Paul- total lockout required.

I got to the Sixers game halfway through the third quarter but wanted to watch it live. They wouldn't hide the scoreboard so the result was spoiled.

(Half the joke is on us because the scoreboard is routinely wrong anyway.)

Comedians aside, to round up what people are saying:

Don't visit the NBL website if you don't want to know the score. It's reasonable to expect the league website will have live scores.

Boy I hope the OP isn't on Facebook? If he is then we should warn him of the perils of information that can be found on that nugget, it's our social responsibility.

Yeah this always annoys me. I can't tell you how many games I've had ruined by freaking spoilers on the front page.

YES!!! Ditch the spoilers. Don't they understand it just ruins the whole game if you know who wins?

I don't mind the NBL website having the score. What I don't like is nbl.tv and my Cats media team spamming Twitter with the score quarter by quarter. Especially if I am trying to "hide" from the results to watch on replay.

It's been raised with the Cats media team previously and their response was stay off twitter during the game. Like seriously WTF? How not to do social media ...
