47 games. 20 nations. One app. Always current.
This application was built to follow the 2026 World Baseball Classic without bouncing between five different websites to piece together what was happening. Pool standings on one site, bracket results on another, team stats somewhere else. A single Domo app handles everything — and the moment that made it worth every hour was when the system was triggered to check for the championship game score at 11:02 PM. It went out to the web, found the final score, updated the dataset, refreshed every visualization in the app, and published. Venezuela 3, United States 2. Opening the app the next morning revealed everything was already there. No manual entry, no copy-paste, no waiting for someone to update a spreadsheet. That is what real-time means.
Benefits
This application transforms how tournament data reaches the people who care about it, whether they are casual fans checking scores or operations staff coordinating logistics across four international venues.
- Always-current standings: Pool standings, advancement status, and elimination tags update the instant a game result enters the dataset — no refresh button, no waiting for a batch process, no stale data
- Automatic score ingestion: The app fetches scores from external web sources on schedule, updates the underlying dataset, and publishes changes without any human intervention — even at 11:02 PM on championship night
- Complete bracket visualization: Quarterfinals, semifinals, and championship results render automatically as games complete, showing the full tournament progression from pool play through the final
- Team-level drill-down: Click any nation to see their complete tournament run — every game, every opponent, every score, win-loss record, and pool assignment in one view
- Multi-venue coverage: Four pool sites across three countries (San Juan, Houston, Tokyo, Miami) tracked simultaneously with venue-specific scheduling and results
- Filterable game history: Surface any matchup by round type — pool play, quarterfinals, semifinals, or championship — or view the complete 47-game history chronologically
Problem Addressed
Following an international tournament across four time zones and twenty teams should not require a spreadsheet and six browser tabs. But that is exactly what most fans and analysts resort to during events like the World Baseball Classic. Official sites update slowly. Third-party trackers show standings but not brackets. Box scores live on one platform while team records live on another. By the time you have pieced together what happened overnight in Tokyo, the Houston games are already underway.
For operations staff coordinating across venues, the fragmentation is worse. Advancement scenarios change with every result, travel logistics depend on bracket outcomes, and broadcast schedules shift based on which teams advance. There was no single source that combined standings, brackets, schedules, team profiles, and game results into one always-current view — until now.
What the Agent Does
The application connects to a live game results dataset and performs all tournament logic computationally, eliminating manual standings management entirely:
- Standings computation: Calculates wins, losses, games played, runs scored, runs allowed, and run differential for every team in every pool, automatically determining advancement and elimination status
- Bracket generation: Renders the knockout stage bracket from quarterfinals through championship based on actual game results, updating progressions as each round completes
- Automatic score updates: On a configurable schedule, fetches game results from external web sources, parses scores, updates the Domo dataset, and triggers app refresh — all without manual intervention
- Team profile aggregation: Compiles per-nation tournament summaries including pool assignment, venue location, complete game-by-game results, and final tournament placement
- Round-based filtering: Enables users to isolate games by tournament phase — pool play, quarterfinals, semifinals, or championship — for focused analysis
- Multi-pool management: Tracks four simultaneous pools across four international venues with independent standings, tiebreaker logic, and advancement rules
Standout Features
- Zero-touch score updates: The championship game score was captured automatically at 11:02 PM — fetched from the web, written to the dataset, app refreshed, and published with no human involvement whatsoever
- 20-nation team cards: Every participating country gets a visual card showing flag, pool assignment, venue, record, and tournament status (Champion, Runner-Up, Semifinalist, QF Eliminated, Pool Stage)
- Single governed card: Pool standings, bracket visualization, game history, and team analytics all live in one Domo card — no cross-referencing, no context switching, no stale secondary sources
- Real-time bracket progression: As quarterfinal and semifinal results are posted, the bracket visualization updates immediately to show advancing teams and upcoming matchups
- Built as a ProCode app: Demonstrates that a single developer can build a production-quality, real-time sports analytics application entirely within Domo using ProCode, datasets, and scheduled workflows
