Pointstreak Takes a Whack at Ball Hockey

August 18th, 2001

Pointstreak successfully ran its innovative "electronic gamesheet system" at the Canadian Ball Hockey Association's national championships; the first-ever ball hockey tournament serviced by Pointstreak.

Pointstreak's "electronic gamesheet system" uses touch-screen computers to replace a league's paper gamesheet. Instead of writing a goal or penalty down on paper, the scorekeeper enters it on a touch-screen terminal. Once the goal or penalty is entered, it is transmitted instantly to the Internet, where it can be viewed by players, parents and league administrators in real-time. Tournament statistics are literally broadcast over the Internet in real-time; where friends and family back home can track the progress of the participants.

Eighteen teams from across Canada competed in the Canadian Ball Hockey Association's national championships, held at the Planet Ice facility in Coquitlam, BC, from August 14th to 18th.
