How are the indicators for this sports ticker updated without ajax calls?

Question

I used to watch ratings at http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/scoreboard and after checking the code I couldn’t understand how they update their ratings.

I don't see any ajax calls, and the games don't seem to be wrapped in frames, etc.

Can someone explain to me how this works?

Mark line 1884 of the scoreboard file. The storePlayers function will format this large string in the markup sets that are used in the ticker.

They seem to be using Flash code to update points. I disabled Flash in my browser and received the following message:

Live scoring notice

However, if you want to implement something like this without using a plugin, you can use Websockets in Javascript.
