ASA/USA Softball taps Digital Scout
for Gold Fastpitch National Championship
Broken Arrow, OK -
ASA/USA Softball utilized new technology developed by Digital Scout,
Inc. when the nation's top teams competed in the 18-under Softball
Fastpitch Gold National Championship, August 5-7. Digital Scout's
new tournament management software application enabled the ASA/USA
tournament directors to quickly compare the statistics of all players
in all games to evaluate relative performances in all key positions.
Sixty-six teams from across the nation
came to Arrowhead Park in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, to compete in
the National Championship. The teams utilized eight fields and played
130 games in six days. At the conclusion of the tournament, the
first and second team 18-under Softball Fastpitch All-Americans
were named.
The tournament provided a premier event for
Digital Scout to demonstrate its new tournament management software,
an important addition to its suite of sports software applications.
Tournament Director utilizes another Digital Scout product, Statware,
which enables the collection on a handheld computer of real-time
team and player statistics. This collected data is transferred with
the touch of a button to a desktop computer for the printing of
detailed reports and hitting charts. The new software for tournament
directors aggregates the results of multiple teams using Statware,
compares the data, and then identifies top performers in all key
events.

Software of the ASA and USA Baseball. "Being able to partner with
Digital Scout has enabled ASA to enhance the record keeping and
statistical recording process for softball tournaments and softball
teams across the country," said Ron Radigonda, Executive Director
of ASA/USA Softball.
The new tournament management software used
in Broken Arrow will be released for sale in March, 2003.
