Snooker Tracker helps you stay on top of the latest snooker matches, using the World Snooker api at api.snooker.org - with thanks to Hermund Årdalen for maintaining and improving it.
Now in version 4, again rebuilt from the ground up to be much faster and more stable, you can make the following requests:
- "Alexa, open Snooker Tracker"/"ask Snooker Tracker for the latest" - provides the scores of matches in progress right now (world ranking / non-qualifying event matches only). If there is no event in progress, you'll hear when the next event is coming up
- "Alexa, ask Snooker Tracker for results / what did I miss" - reads you the most recent five results from the current event, then asks if you'd like to hear more
- "Alexa, ask Snooker Tracker for upcoming matches / what's next" - NEW - this will now tell you the scheduled start times of upcoming matches in the current event (note for international users - times are all in GMT/BST - localising it is quite tricky!). Handy when you want to hear when your favourite player is scheduled to play.
- "Alexa, ask Snooker Tracker for the schedule/calendar/diary" - lists the next 5 events in the season
- "Alexa, ask Snooker Tracker for event information" - NEW - gives you some details of the current event, e.g. the sponsor, venue, current title holder
- "Alexa, ask Snooker Tracker for the rankings" - lists the top 16 players by money rankings in order
- "Stop" or "Cancel" - to exit Snooker Tracker
- "Alexa, ask Snooker Tracker for help" - gives you a spoken form of these instructions
Happy snooker tracking! Feedback welcome as always at realbigchill@hotmail.com.
