Paintball Sports Promotions, the world’s most popular paintball league, and the American Paintball Players Association, creators of paintball’s most successful registration and player classification system, are pleased to release APPA’s new ScoreBlast technology at the season-opening PSP Phoenix Open tournament.
With ScoreBlast technology, teams add the number for a text-enabled cell phone to their roster and then at the event receive updates blasted directly to their phone! This new service will roll out with automated updates of each team’s schedule as they advance through the tournament, with even more information to be added to ScoreBlast as the season progresses.
Teams who use ScoreBlast will no longer have to wait on-site for all games to finish and the next day’s schedule to be printed nor have to find internet access at the hotel to check the online schedule. They can instead grab some food, some sleep, or socialize with all of the other paintball players at the event, as their next day’s opponents, fields and game times will be ScoreBlasted directly to their phone. ScoreBlast works with all major cell phone carriers, both domestic and international.
"It's not enough to just charge player registration fees without having a comprehensive registration system to back it up, and that’s why leagues that value their players like PSP does use the APPA system,” said PSP Chief Operating Officer and former professional player Lane Wright. “From providing the best officials and best format in the sport to using only all-natural grass playing surfaces, every decision PSP makes is ultimately dictated by providing the best experience for the player. That kind of focus explains why more players have chosen to play PSP events than any other league for five years straight."
