This guide will help you create a DakStats WebTicker that will display scores and schedules for games around any Web-Sync league for the current day.
You can hyperlink to WebTickers, or embed them into existing pages to provide live, interactive scoring content for anyone who visits your site.

A simple way to show a WebTicker on your local website is to create an
iframe in the page. Set your preferred height and width for the <iframe>
using the style attribute, and assign the WebTicker URL to the src
attribute. Your iframe should resemble the following:

<iframe id="webTickerIFrame"
src="http://www.dakstats.com/WebSync/Pages/WebTicker/
WebTicker.aspx?assocID=10" style="height:229px;
width:201px" frameborder="No">
</iframe>

To include a link to the WebTicker instead, use the following code:

<a href=
"http://www.dakstats.com/WebSync/Pages/WebTicker/WebTi
cker.aspx?assocID=10"> DakStats WebTicker </a>

Note: The above codes can be copied and pasted directly into your page.

There must always be a value for the “assocID=” parameter in the
WebTicker URL to specify the association you wish to view:

http://www.dakstats.com/WebSync/Pages/WebTicker/WebTicker
.aspx?assocID=10

Note: Without a valid association ID, the WebTicker WILL NOT
display any games.

Filter controls are hidden by default. To add this control, enter
“&filters=yes” into the WebTicker URL:

http://www.dakstats.com/WebSync/Pages/WebTicker/WebTicker.aspx?
assocID=10&filters=yes

Placing your cursor over Sport, Conf, or School will allow you to select
specific sports, conferences, and schools to view.

At least one sport, one conference, and one team must be selected for any
games to be displayed. Select the sport(s) before the conference(s), and
select the conference(s) before the school(s). If these conditions are not met,
no games will appear.

the outside menus. For custom dimensions, be sure to add 29 extra
pixels to the height and 1 extra pixel to the width.
