Uh, Activescores uses the meta refresh: <meta http-equiv="refresh" content=120> Royalscore doesn't refresh automatically for me.

Why don't you want to use the meta refresh technique?

Update The "old version" of Royalscore updates for me, but that also uses the meta refresh. If the link to Royalscore you provided updates for you, I'd guess it was some javascript hackery (there sure is a lot of it in the page).
