Relaying live/archived results is an interesting use-case.

The temporal aspect could be published (and indexed) today with hAtom.

Do you know any sports results web pages that are at least doing that?

For the sports results themselves, do you have examples of what's
currently published? Are they at least using semantic data tables?
