You've got me thinking about the AD part, I wouldn't of though anything of it if you hadn't said but now you have its got me scratching my head cos I think it's possible may be the case - or you've planted a dud seed :lol:
I think I'm right. Just checked the mens and its "Av", womens is now "Ad"
Hopefully that doesnt affect anything in the fixed score BA conditions
Almost certainly will, i'll find out more
It will need some small changes to the current code, assuming nothing changes with BF that could be added ready when the V1.56 beta goes on general release in a few weeks

Fingers crossed its here to stay, its changed my whole outlook for this years Tennis again :D

Good stuff. Hopefully those code changes can go in quickly. So many matches on this week :)

Is there any chance you could chase up Peter on whether BA is still throttled at 350ms for the WTA data ? and also whether you'd be able to get hold of the incidents part of the feed too to put into excel ? eg first serve, 2nd serve, medical time out.. etc.

I didn't realise stats etc were a part of the BF API feed. It is possible to get them from other free API's and pass to Excel (or Guardian direct via the new CSV import)

22/02/2021 08:22:58: [G_Auto 1] : Store Value for Adrian Andreev: 1stServeIn% = 68
22/02/2021 08:22:58: [G_Auto 1] : Store Value for Adrian Andreev: 1stServePoints% = 61
22/02/2021 08:22:58: [G_Auto 1] : Store Value for Adrian Andreev: 2ndServePoints% = 54
22/02/2021 08:22:58: [G_Auto 1] : Store Value for Adrian Andreev: OppPointsCount = 31
22/02/2021 08:22:58: [G_Auto 1] : Store Value for Adrian Andreev: BPAgainstCount = 9

Following a release scheduled for Friday 26
th February, we’ll be again providing WTA scores and incidents
data via the Tennis Scores API. As this is newly integrated there maybe some teething issues which we are
experiencing, identifying and we are working on resolutions

Great to hear it's going to be a permanent change back.

I did wonder when I saw the SAP portal come back on line - I queried why it had gone with the WTA and they said they had 'teething issues with the feed'... good news!

Just to add to this. I've been filtering out WTA matches whilst the code changes are in the pipeline. However, my filter didn't restrict the Dubai Duty Free tournament as there is no WTA in the tiitle.
Just caught an Advantage score and it's showing as "Av", just like the existing mens

This may mean BF have adjusted to "Av" for all WTA matches and any existing automation would work...

Betfair did confirm they were doing and update to fix the inconsistence by Friday morning, which they appear to had done when checked Friday afternoon so although the code changes in Bet Angel were ready for when V1.56 when on General release they were not needed in the end

Something we did spot and flagged to them is another issue this time only in doubles matches where if a score goes 40-40 it then never goes to an Advantage, the next score update is only when a new game starts. This is something that will need BF to resolve

I don't bother with doubles matches and suspect that's the same for many others but just something to watch out for if anyone is trading them or using automation that uses the scores Av-40, 40-Av
That is something only Betfair can fix there side and it could happen at anytime

Getting some score freezing today on the feed. There was a match earlier (i forget which), and currently for me at least, the Kontaveit - Cirstea match is frozen. just an FYI.

All doubles outside the Slams since about 2013 have been the best of two sets (two sets with a third set replaced by a tiebreaker to 10) with no advantage scoring

Is anyone else still having live score issues? Last couple days the scores have stopped due in the match. This morning a market was closed in the second game, reopened on betfair but not on betangel. Had to restart betangle to load the market.

I'm not doing much on Tennis this week due to Chelt so haven't seen anything myself.

But often if Betfair make a change there end they don't send the relevant information to BA so you need to force it to update. If close the market and remove it from Guardian and your watchlist etc, then give it a few seconds and reload it it should be showing the correct information.
