The ATP has revamped it's website - and needless to say the resulting effort makes it harder for fans to follow the fortunes of our favourite tennis players.
There is a new livescore board which is now:-
1. wide
2. multi-functional
3. limits you to viewing only event at a time so to follow others you need more pages open
4. is altogether therefore much slower
:grrr:
Links to the old Main and Challenger livescoreboards
You need to change the week No as the year progresses.
ATP/WTA: http://www.protennislive.com/framese...pworldtour.com (http://www.protennislive.com/frameset.asp?year=2013&wkno=2&lang=en&tabno=1&eventid=0573&ref=www.atpworldtour.com)
Challengers:http://www.protennislive.com/framese...nopen.eu/2012/ (http://www.protennislive.com/frameset.asp?year=2013&wkno=2C&lang=en&tabno=1&eventid=0448&ref=www.pekaoszczecinopen.eu/2012/)
EDIT: as of Saturday 23/2/13 I cannot get the Main one to work.
Will try the original route and see what occurs i.e. link to the livescorehunter website

Hmm I see what you mean Sally. Definitely "improved". No longer can we tuck the ls up in the corner of the screen while multitasking (or even while watching the same match as we're livescoring! - am I the only sad person who does that? - sometimes one is ahead of the other!!!) Why oh why can't they leave things alone?????
:grrr: indeed
Groan.
I normally have livescores up for one match, livestream for another, and the forum in another third of my screen. They are just trying to thwart me :grrr:

Oooh!!! I've found out how to access the old style Livescoreboard!!!
:thumbup:
Thanks to a poster on BT.net ...
1. Follow this link to the livescorehunter website
http://www.livescorehunter.com/Livescores/Livescore-Tennis.html
2. Click on the tourney you are most interested in
3. It brings up their page for that event and on the right is the old style LSboard.
4. Click on it and you'll get the livescores up just as they always were!!!
- easy to switch tournaments
- easy to see match stats
For this week the LSboard link is:-
http://www.protennislive.com/frameset.asp?year=2013&wkno=1&lang=en&tabno=1&eventid=0573&ref=www.atpworldtour.com
It changes on a weekly basis.
Happy I am now!

slight aside but just checked out the live scores site for the first time this year. Quite a change! http://www.protennislive.com
Takes a bit of getting used to but a lot of information there! A bit like the IBM Slamtracker.
Edit: Wow, it has the updated draws, schedule of play, info on players, links and more links. It seems to be a "one stop" place for all the info. I think it is going to be great once I have worked it out!

But unlike the slamtracker, if you try to change the match that's in the top box, it keeps reverting back to the "main" match - at least it does for me, I haven't found a way of making it stay on the match I choose. Also the match facts don't quite fit in the box, even if you make it bigger, which I find slightly irritating! Also takes up far too much room on the screen for my liking! Maybe I'm hard to please!!!

Very good criticisms! I livescored Heather's match last night and what you described was very, very frustrating.

Yes, but it seems to be an improvement but with teething problems!
I know this is the wrong thread, but is anybody else having trouble with Live Score? Neither old nor new is working for me:confused:

Hi Jane.
The old livescoreboard links for this week are:-
ATP/WTA: http://www.protennislive.com/frameset.asp?year=2013&wkno=2&lang=en&tabno=1&eventid=0573&ref=www.atpworldtour.com
Challengers:http://www.protennislive.com/frameset.asp?year=2013&wkno=2C&lang=en&tabno=1&eventid=0448&ref=www.pekaoszczecinopen.eu/2012/
They're working for me but play has finished today now so there's only the Today's results showing.
And there are no Challengers this week so that one won't work today.
The New Livescoreboard was a problem today for a lot of people apparently.
This is from (http://www.menstennisforums.com/showpost.php?p=12639026&postcount=65)MTF (menstennisforums).
Today there was no livescore from Sydney and Hobart - only the completed results were showing up when the matches were over. The only livescore that was working was from Auckland ATP.
On top of that the new livescore now doesn't work for me at all - it shows only the cover page where it says "ATP WTA Live" and nothing happens ....
Hi Sally - just come back on here and read your post, which is a great comfort, as I thought it was my laptop was the problem. I "phoned a friend" and he tried to get LS but could only get it once, as did I on my old desktop PC.
Thanks very much. Hopefully things will be sorted out soon - maybe the new system was just too good to be trueLOL

It looks as though the old livescoreboards have 'gone' ...

The one on my PC just shows one match none of the links etc are visible as they are outside of the screen I can see and no way to adjust the scren size.. It is OK on my netbook. Any bright ideas. I have checked my screen settings etc.

Those are amongst the many gripes (there are plenty of them on every tennis forum) out there.
Menstennisforums (http://www.menstennisforums.com/showpost.php?p=13662442&postcount=72) have confirmed that the ATP have turned the old one off.
Unfortunately there is NOTHING you can do to change the screen size.
So, it's not possible to make it small (like the old one) and park it in the corner of your screen whilst doing other things. It is a right pain in the proverbials!!!
:grrr:

Can you provide a link to that please RL; others might be interested in using it too.

Here's a link to
Tennisform: http://www.tennisform.com/default.asp?action=livescores
Flashscores:http://www.flashscores.co.uk/tennis/
And Bet365 (http://www.bet365.com/home/FlashGen4/WebConsoleApp.asp?affiliate=365_097581&cb=10880516750)which you can view without registering and paying the £10 deposit
The problem is that these ^^^ as with the new ATP one, require more and more computer resources and do not work properly on suffiently old PCs.
Also, not all of them do as the ATP old ls did which is to give great stats analysis.
