We are glad to announce the release of the new JoomSport version.

Here is the list of improvements delivered:

Automatic game stages - divide your match events!

Allows you to divide player events automatically into periods / halves / etc. It also allows you to have the separate proper section for penalty shootout. Here is how it looks like for incredible EURO 2020 match on our Statorium.com

The new Live Scores module

To improve the experience of those who uses our Statorium football API service we designed the new live scores module. The matches are grouped by leagues. The good thing about the module is that current match time, current live scores are updated without page reload!

Significant speed improvements for selected pages

We have improved the speed of the many pages due to big optimization done on database queries level. The tool tips were optionally removed for some pages that contain matches.

The new major features set for predictions

Those clients who has our advanced package can benefit from major features delivered for predictions:

- The new module "My predictions" 

- The new functionality "private leagues" so you can allow your users to invite their friends to compete

- The place ticker to know how predictor place is changed after each round

Mostly we already have those features in our WordPress product. We expect the new cool changes delivered to the predictions add-on soon again.

The new Roster module

It allows you to have the roster cards of selected team published in separate module just in any place where you need it.

Some other minor changes were applied to the code. Enjoy the update! Keep in touch with us.

We have delivered to our download area the hotfix for Joomla based JoomSport.

There were three issues fixed:

- fixtures analytics for knockouts

- fixtures analytics for single players

- 1054 unknown column '$team2_id' error once saving mathcdays

As a response for large number of request from our clients we have added analytics for future matches in JoomSport. This applies both for WordPress sport plugin (ver. 5.0) and Joomla extension (ver. 5.5) released.

The main objective of the new analytics offered is to help predicting on match outcome.

Before we start the development we have analyzed a lot of sports sites and analytics variations. Many of them offer a large amount of numbers but poorly squeezed data and we didn't want the same. We wanted to avoid overloading you with the useless numbers. Instead we have carefully selected the most important figures that might correlate with upcoming match outcome.

The new data blocks offered includes the three sections added to future JoomSport matches (fixtures status).

Season analytics

Season win / draw / lost numbers and last 5 matches blocks are offered with "All season games" OR "Home / away games" filter depending on where is the selected team plays. "Position" chart is only displayed for the seasons that are without knockouts or playoffs matchdays.

Averages analytics

For player / match events averages it is possible to set what kind of events do you need to display. Scores averages analytics offers you the three numbers for each team: scored, conceded and total. Again, season total and home / away filter is offered for both blocks.

Head to head analytics

Two blocks to analyze previous head to head game between opponents. All leagues and seasons are included. 10 games stats included inside the block.

See how the functionality looks like on our demo.

Thank you VERY much to all the bakers who supported us financially with this particular feature development! It would be impossible to deliver all that functionality without you. Special thx to Yannis (Sentragoal), Roberto (ESM), Aldi (Universfootball), Juan Luis (Quesomecanico)!
