Abstract
A method and system to recommend performances based on the performances'"'"' excitement-level as determined from events and characteristics associated with the performance and a subscriber'"'"'s preference is described herein. A subscriber'"'"'s preference influences the performance type and performance characteristics that are exciting to the subscriber. Recommendations for performances can be sent to the subscriber as a link or direct connection to a location of the online performance. Recommendations of a performance preserve the excitement of the performance by not revealing the score, outcome, or any statistics or commentary that would spoil the natural buildup of excitement from watching the live performance. Performance recommendations may include a start-time and end-time for watching only the exciting portions of the performance. Recommended portions of performances can be ranked to fit within a subscriber'"'"'s customizable viewing-time, so that a subscriber can view only the most exciting portions of performances that fit within a limited time-frame.
