One suggestion: Can you add the player details. May be on hover or on click. Also, I think site needs a bit more help in terms of what a user can do once he reaches the play page. May be a small tutorial or a help page might work. Out of curiosity, how do you keep track of the events? Do you have a live feed that you parse for certain phrases?

Yes, we are recording the performances for each player and we want to show those when users are making their selections.

We are also adding a small tutorial as you suggest -- a number of users were asking "what do I do next" ;-)

The events are recorded manually at the moment and pushed to the users using Pusher.com. There are automated feeds but they are expensive.
