By default, when you create a new game score, Chameleon automatically assigns it an expiry date and sets how long it is retained before it is subject to removal by the DMan Agent. You can modify this expiry date. Once a game score has expired, that game displays an Expired icon  , and: - will not be played out to broadcast
- will not be included in BLADE output
- can automatically be deleted by the DMan Agent when it has passed the removal threshold
