Pointstreak Partners with Softball Canada 

(Toronto, ON) Pointstreak Sports Technologies Inc. and Softball
Canada are pleased to announce they have reached an agreement
which will see Pointstreak provide advanced scoring, official
statistics and tournament administration services to Softball
Canada's Canadian Championships. 'Softball Canada is extremely
pleased to work with Pointstreak to deliver consistent and advanced
statistical information for all of our Canadian Championships.
Pointstreak's track record and experience in delivering scores
and statistical programs to leagues and events are second to
none. We look forward to offering this solution to our Canadian
Championship hosts, and it will allow us to provide a powerful
tool to our members across the country', said Mike Branchaud,
Manager of Canadian Championships and Competitions for Softball
Canada. 

Pointstreak Stats' softball platform will streamline the process
of capturing and delivering game statistics for Softball Canada
and deliver those game events to Softball Canada's Canadian Championship
Microsites for the benefit of players, fans and media partners.
A unique feature of Pointstreak's softball statistical solution
is Game Live, a flash application that streams play-by-play softball
results over a 3-D graphical image of a softball diamond. Softball
Canada will offer its hosts the opportunity to use Pointstreak's
real-time scoring component where diamond capabilities permit.
Pointstreak Stats for Softball is also geared towards the needs
of media sources, providing Associated Press (AP) formatted box
scores, allowing for easy reproduction of softball stats into
print media. 

'We are very excited to be partnered with the Softball Canada
for the 2011 season. They have done an outstanding job in creating
rich online tools for their Canadian Championships which will
increase their exposure and accessibility tremendously. We are
honoured to be a part of their technological mix. To have the
ability to provide scores and official statistics to their fans
and media partners in true real-time is very exciting', said
Paul Pettipiece, Vice President of Softball Operations of Pointstreak
Sports Technologies Inc.
