Sport 4: Slugs |
|
General Principles |
We should try to keep to the same slugs for each sport. Different ones only
confuse clients. Unlike with other
news items, the country does not come first in sports
slugs: Athletics-Germany, Basketball-Ukraine,
Tennis-France. For major championships or sporting
events: Athletics-Worldcup, Golf-Ryder,
Tennis-Daviscup, Swim-Worlds, etc.
Don't forget, the slugline should not be longer than 21 characters, plus the slash. Below is a list of slugs we should use for the most important sports.
|
Football |
For domestic league and cup games and friendly internationals use the word "Football" plus the country name (or that of host country for friendlies): Football-Germany/, Football-Italy/
|
Tennis |
Tennis slugs should indicate whether the tournament is
women's (WTA) or men's (ATP) tennis and the country where
the tournament is being held: Tennis-WTA-Germany/,
