    Hello all,

    Let me start off by saying that I am new to this forum and to WOW programming in general, but I find it fascinating and am looking forward to learning more about it. Thanks to everyone in advance for your help.

    I am trying to figure out the best way to detect the start and end of arena battles specifically. Currently, my best guess would be to listen for the "CHATMSGBGSYSTEMNEUTRAL" event with an argument of "One minute until the Arena battle begins!". This may work, but I don't think there is a similar chat event that fires when the arena match is over.

    Has anyone figured out the best way to accomplish this?

    The user interface can show the scoreboard at the end of of a match, so I would look at that code and find out how it does it. That's the best bet for anything that you know the default UI can do.. look at their code and emulate it.
