Very nice! Beautiful and very fast for the amount of data that is calculated on the fly. What technologies did you use? Also, did you have to pay license fees to display team and conference logos?

MVC3 + SQL Server + Mongo + custom software for the realtime calculations.

All components (with the exception of the front-end) are highly abstracted enabling us to swap technologies (e.g. SQL Server to MySQL, Mongo to Memcached) quickly.

Yeah, I'd like to know about the process of showing team logos and the stats. Are you just scraping the data from somewhere, or do you have permission to use any of this data? I'm wanting to build and application similar to this for the NHL (if we have a season... har har...) but the licensing of big teams is scaring me away some.

Thanks for replying. I'd still love to know more about the process of getting permission to show conference and team logos.

Always great to see awesome things built on .Net!

I sent this to my sports and statistics obsessed friends. They will definitely love this.
