Abstract
A method allocates screen space for display of a plurality of prescribed messages on a display device during a sporting event having a plurality of activities. Each activity ultimately has an outcome and takes an activity time to complete. To that end, the method receives a stream of electronic, machine readable real-time event information, and displays an event user interface having selection indicia. The selection indicia enable a user to predict the outcome of at least one activity of the sporting event in real time. The method assigns, to each message, a prescribed display number that is equal to a prescribed number of predictions, and receives a plurality of predictions from the event user interface. The method also displays, in series, each of the plurality of messages in the foreground of the display in real time when receiving the stream of real-time event information.
