Yes, MRE can easily support any sporting event as long as there is a  
web site (or some type of web service) that contains a realtime status  
of the event and can be parsed.  The key is that the web site/service  
containing the data must be (near) realtime and must distinguish  
between the event still running and the event being over.

If you're the programming type, have a look at the source and simply  
write a subclass of MythEvent for the type of event you want to  
monitor.  When done, open a feature report on the project site, attach  
your class file and I'll include it in a future release.  If you're  
not the programming type, open the feature request and be sure to  
include a link to the web site that provides the (near) realtime data  
and I'll see what I can do.
