Toronto, ON – Pointstreak and The Cal Ripken Collegiate Baseball League (CRCBL) are pleased to announce they have reached an agreement which will see Pointstreak provide real-time scoring, official statistics and administration services to the league for the 2010 season.  

“We are pleased to partner with Pointstreak to provide real-time statistics to our players’ families, coaches and fans in 2010,” said Alex Thompson, Executive Director of the Cal Ripken League. “We are constantly seeking ways to enhance and improve our fans’ experience and enjoyment of our ballgames, and the Pointstreak stat service will bring the game action to our fans faster than ever.”

Pointstreak's baseball platform will streamline the process of capturing and delivering game statistics for the Cal Ripken Collegiate Baseball League and deliver those game events to the league and team websites in real-time for the benefit of players, fans and media partners. A unique feature of Pointstreak's baseball statistical solution is Game Live, a real-time flash application that streams play-by-play baseball results over a 3-D graphical image of a baseball diamond. Pointstreak Stats for baseball is also geared towards the needs of media sources, providing Associated Press (AP) formatted box scores, allowing for easy reproduction of baseball stats into print media.

“We are very proud to have been chosen as the Official Real Time Scoring and Statistics Provider for the Cal Ripken Collegiate Baseball League.  To have the ability to deliver real-time scoring and official statistics to their fans and media partners in true real-time will be a great enhancement to the League's standard operations” said Paul Pettipiece, VP of Baseball Operations for Pointstreak.  “The Ripken name means a lot of different things in the baseball community – to us it means great summer collegiate baseball and we are excited about this partnership.”
