One thing I see happen a lot is people using the [match] tag in the forums to try to link to a future game or a game that's in progress. I think it's pretty common-sense behaviour by the user actually, except it doesn't work. Right now doing that leads to the very unfriendly "Server Error in '/BBWeb' Application." page.

Would it be possible to have the boxscore page redirect to the reportmatch page for in-progress games, and to something friendlier for future games? That something friendlier could be as simple as a static "That game hasn't started yet" page, or maybe it could be clever and figure out the competition that the game is part of and redirect to the league, tournament, or B3 page, or maybe to the home team's schedule page if it's a scrimmage.
