The method of claim 1, further comprising:determining a player active in the playing space of the event can satisfy the one of the possible scoring scenarios; andemphasizing, in the content item, the player.3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:determining a final player remaining in the roster is active in the playing space of the event; andemphasizing the final player in the content item.4. The method of claim 3, wherein emphasizing the final player comprises generating for display an icon indicating the importance of the final player to the side-game.5. The method of claim 1, wherein emphasizing, based on the effects of the plurality of possible scoring scenarios to the side game, the information about the plurality of possible scoring scenarios comprises:determining that the one of the possible scoring scenario changes who leads the side-game; andemphasizing the information about the one of the possible scoring scenarios.6. The method of claim 5, wherein emphasizing the information about the one of the possible scoring scenarios comprises generating for display the information about the one of the possible scoring scenarios in at least one of a different color, text size, or special markings than used to generate for display information about other possible scoring scenarios of the plurality of possible scoring scenarios.7. The method of claim 1, wherein the content item is a first content item and the side-game is further based on an event presented in a second content item, further comprising:determining the event in the second content item has a greater impact to the side-game than the event in the first content item; andgenerating for display the second content item.8. The method of claim 7, wherein generating for display the second content item comprises generating for simultaneous display the second content item in a primary position and the first content item in a secondary position.9. A system comprising:control circuitry configured to:retrieve current status data related to a side-game, wherein the current status data is based on an event presented in a content item, and the current status data comprises a roster, maintained by a participant in the side-game, of players in the event, and wherein determining, based on the current status data, the plurality of possible scoring scenarios that affect the side-game comprises:obtaining a set of rules that define scoring opportunities in the side-game as a function of possible actions and players in the roster;obtaining data representing current circumstances of the event; andapplying the set of rules to the data representing the current circumstances of the event to identify the plurality of possible scoring scenarios in the side-game and locations on a playing space of the event that correspond to the plurality of possible scoring scenarios; anddetermine, based on the current status data, a plurality of possible scoring scenarios that affect the side-game;output circuitry configured to generate for simultaneous display (i) information about each of the plurality of possible scoring scenarios that affects the side-game and (ii) the content item, wherein generating for simultaneous display comprises:mapping coordinates in the content item to locations on a playing space of the event that correspond to one of the plurality of possible scoring scenarios that determines a winner of the side game;determining a graphical overlay for the mapped locations on the playing space of the event to indicate the corresponding possible scoring scenarios; andmodifying the content item to include the graphical overlay; andthe control circuitry further configured to emphasize, based on the plurality of possible scoring scenarios to the side game, the information about one of the possible scoring scenarios of the plurality of possible scoring scenarios.10. The system of claim 9, wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:determine a player active in the playing space of the event can satisfy the one of the possible scoring scenarios; andemphasize, in the content item, the player.11. The system of claim 9, wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:determine a final player remaining in the roster is active in the playing space of the event; andemphasize the final player in the content item.12. The system of claim 11, wherein the control circuitry is configured to emphasize the final player by generating for display an icon indicating the importance of the final player to the side-game.13. The system of claim 9, wherein the control circuitry is configured to emphasize, based on the effects of the plurality of possible scoring scenarios to the side game, the information about the plurality of possible scoring scenarios by:determining that the one of the possible scoring scenario changes who leads the side-game; andemphasizing the information about the one of the possible scoring scenarios.14. The system of claim 13, wherein the control circuitry is configured to emphasize the information about the one of the possible scoring scenarios by generating for display the information about the one of the possible scoring scenarios in at least one of a different color, text size, or special markings than used to generate for display information about other possible scoring scenarios of the plurality of possible scoring scenarios.15. The system of claim 9, wherein the content item is a first content item and the side-game is further based on an event presented in a second content item, and wherein the control circuitry is further configured to:determine the event in the second content item has a greater impact to the side-game than the event in the first content item; andthe output circuitry is further configured to generate for display the second content item.16. The system of claim 15, wherein the output circuitry is configured to generate for display the second content item by generating for simultaneous display the second content item in a primary position and the first content item in a secondary position.
