Abstract
Systems and methods are described for a media guidance application (e.g., implemented on a user device) that avoids spoilers in presenting recording prompts relating to a competition by scheduling presentation of notifications according to the user profile.
Claims14
A method comprising:
- accessing a user profile data;
- identifying, based at least in part on the retrieved user profile data, a participant of interest of a plurality of participants that are participating in a multi-round elimination competition;
- identifying a plurality of media assets depicting games of the multi-round elimination competition in which the participant of interest played that are to be stored;
- determining that the participant of interest has been eliminated in a particular round of the multi-round elimination competition and did not participate in at least one subsequent round of the multi-round elimination competition;
- generating for display:
- (a) identifiers of the games in which the participant of interest played;
- and (b) phantom identifiers of games of the subsequent round of the competition in which the participant of interest did not participate, wherein the identifiers and phantom identifiers indicate that a status of whether associated content is stored is hidden to prevent spoilers.

- identifying a plurality of media assets depicting games of the multi-round elimination competition in which the participant of interest played that are to be stored;
- determining that the participant of interest has not been eliminated until a final round of the multi-round elimination competition;
- generating for display:
- (a) identifiers of the games in which the participant of interest played, wherein the identifiers indicate that a status of whether associated content is stored is hidden to prevent spoilers.

A system comprising:
- control circuitry configured to:
- access a user profile data;
- identify, based at least in part on the retrieved user profile data, a participant of interest of a plurality of participants that are participating in a multi-round elimination competition;
- identify a plurality of media assets depicting games of the multi-round elimination competition in which the participant of interest played that are to be stored;
- determine that the participant of interest has been eliminated in a particular round of the multi-round elimination competition and did not participate in at least one subsequent round of the multi-round elimination competition;
- generate for display, via input/output circuitry:
- (a) identifiers of the games in which the participant of interest played;
- and (b) phantom identifiers of games of the subsequent round of the competition in which the participant of interest did not participate, wherein the identifiers and phantom identifiers indicate that a status of whether associated content is stored is hidden to prevent spoilers.
