FIBA Organizer available at no cost |
| FIBA.com |
FIBA and SportingPulse have signed an agreement which allows providing the FIBA ORGANIZER software to an unlimited number of basketball organizations worldwide at no cost. The tool incorporates all facets of basketball administration such as competition management (schedules, results, and standings) and membership database (clubs, players, coaches, and referees). The product, which also includes a build-in website, is downloadable for free.
The integration with the Internet delivers turn-key solution web sites to all users, which can display competition and player results and build a community portal accessible to basketball fans everywhere.
During the rollout of the project within the 213 National Federations FIBA realized that there is huge interest in the software on the grassroots level. This will open the chance to build the biggest global databse of players in 213 countries, and create one of the world's most robust and scalable whole-of-sport membership and competition management solutions."
This global agreement is thought to be the first time any sport's worldwide governing body has commissioned the development of a communication hub capable of unifying its entire community.
"FIBA are committed to developing our sport of basketball and creating the best possible conditions on-court and off-court for players, fans, coaches, and everyone involved in the game," said FIBA Secretary General Patrick Baumann. "We are delighted to announce this exciting new initiative for the basketball world. With the help of SportingPulse's award-winning software we are connecting basketball players around the world, creating a vibrant and active online community and making it easier to communicate and share information locally and globally."

SportingPulse CEO Nick Maywald added: "This contract with FIBA will transform the management of basketball. It means local administrators in over 200 playing nations will be able to dramatically improve the way they communicate with their members and make it easy for them to design and run their own association and club web sites, publish fixtures, schedules, results."
