How do I detect a completed game ?
I just looked at the perl code and there it looked like it would have
gameTime="F" but I'm guessing this isn't the case if it didn't work. 

Could you post a sample of how a active game and a completed game looks
like ? 
For some reason your sports event often takes time while I'm a sleep,
so this was actually completed untested code :-)

Looks great, it's now part of the bundled styles, for anyone that want
screen shots I've attached one with this post.

I think I've changed it in all bundled samples now, the reason I got it
wrong was that your perl code in the separate macroString function set
it to "0" if "period" wasn't specified. Maybe the perl code also should
default to -1 ?

Continuous scrolling should be fairly simple, I'll add an option for
selecting scrolling or switching mode in next version.

Yes, this is definitely the plan, it just got messy to support it when
I didn't have the selsport command, so at the moment you have to
specify a type of sport.
I'll support viewing all selected sports after you have made an
official release of SuperDateTime which support selsport.

I haven't been too interested in SuperDateTime earlier when I only got
the Classic mono crome screen, but it looks really beautiful on the
color screens of Touch and Radio, I really love it.
