# eventStatusText

Up to three separate strings for event status may be displayed.

```
var eventStatusText: [String]? { get }
```

## Discussion

The first string should always be used to show the play period (quarter, inning, period)
using as few characters as possible; e.g. “2nd” for the 2nd quarter.

The second and third strings can be used to display additional information, like “1st & 10” and “SF 15”
for an American football game.

All three strings should be kept as brief as possible to ensure they display well on car screens
of various sizes.
