Abstract: A computer based method visually highlights achievements of sports teams or players in displays of statistical data, such as statistical tables, that represent the performance of sports teams or players. The achievements to be highlighted may include multiple-game streaks and single-game achievements. Multiple-game streaks occur when a team or player meets a performance objective in multiple consecutive games. Such streaks are highlighted in displays of statistical data by visually emphasizing the data values that form the streak. Visual emphasis is achieved by, for example, displaying a visual indicator, such as a line, adjacent to the data values. A single-game achievement is highlighted by visually emphasizing the data value that represents the achievement, so that users can quickly identify single-game achievements in statistical tables. Details about the streak or achievement may be displayed when the user selects or passes a mouse pointer over one of the data values or over the visual indicator.

Abstract: A computer-based method for generating graphical representations of statistics such as player rankings in a fantasy sports game is disclosed. A statistic for a particular team or player is displayed on a graph in a position based on the value of the statistic at a particular time. The graph displays the ranking of the user's team relative to other players in a fantasy sports league. Graphical indicators are displayed to allow the user to visually perceive the difference in ranking between the user's team or player and the next higher or lower ranked team or player. The graph display can be animated to show changes in team or player performance over time by varying the displayed graph to show the statistics for successive time periods.
