Twittercast sending scorecast URL

At the beginning and end of each game, Twittercast automatically tweets a URL to the scorecast website where people can watch the scorecast. The problem I have is that the URL provided allows anyone to access the scorecast, as the URL does not require login. I allow anyone to follow us on Twitter, since the information tweeted during games is harmless, but having other teams access our scorecast page and being able to watch our previous games obviously allows them a competitive advantage. I would prefer that the URL that is included in Twittercast just be the generic http://iscorecast.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, which requires login, instead of providing the URL which allows anyone to watch scorecast.

Thanks!

Something along the lines of tweeting without a player by player request may be worth investigating. Tweeting the direct link to the game without the ability to see all games scored is along those same lines.

Bottom line is that we MUST protect our team's stats - period.

We will likely be adding more options to both the Tweets and how the games are accessed in future updates (possibly adding passwords for example).

The statistics can be turned off on the iScorecasts if you do not want them to be visible. Log in to the Admin Website for your device, click on Settings, and you can turn off the cumulative stats.

You can always use iScorecast without using Twittercasting as well... generally you would not need both.
