It's not really a UI related answer but for the live updates, you would be able to use .ajax(). Depending on the back-end architecture you could set up a page that gets all the updated data from the database and using .load() , you would be able to just retrieve that page or just one element (I.e a <OL> or <UL>) that displays the current standing order of competitors. Then using that info you can do any kind of animation your heart desires.
