Ah, how silly of me. You told me to just click on the logos and I was just clicking on them on the wrong tab. However, you really need to put more time into the design of that feature, and that select "button". I know you have a splash screen explaining "select a team", but there's no affordances for the user who overlooks that instruction and is looking to achieve the same thing I was. A simple mouse over effect would help big time.
BTW, on the "Matchups" page, I was expecting to see more than one. You might want a featured list somewhere on that page to make it easier to load this week's big games.
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.
