ScoreRunner eliminates the need to wait for zippers to crawl across the television screen, to call expensive phone numbers that deliver sports scores, or to remain bound to a radio, TV, or computer at all. The accurate real-time scores are beamed at play-by-play or timed intervals, whichever mode the subscriber chooses.
Each user sets up a personal scoreboard by selecting the teams and/or games he or she wants to follow. Users choose the delivery method they prefer (text message or e-mail) and how often they want to receive updates. ScoreRunner also allows subscribers to start and stop their scoring alerts instantly from their cell phones or PDA devices.
Established by avid sports fan Warren Zide, producer of the Final Destination and the American Pie film franchises, the service requires no downloads or special equipment.
"The beauty of this service is that it works on any cell phone, is available through all major cellular providers, and does not require users to access the Internet through their cell phones or PDAs to monitor scores," said Zide, president and CEO of ScoreRunner. "It's like having a personalized scoreboard with you everywhere you go."
ScoreRunner's staff combines a passion for the games with technical savvy to provide this easy-to-use service. Fans can log onto the system at http://www.scorerunner.com. All it takes is a few minutes to get set and go.
