INTERVIEWS, LIVE SCORING FROM MEN’S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
2009-07-21

A scoreboard being updated each half inning from the games in Bob Van Impe Stadium is online for fans to follow the action at the International Softball Federation XII Men’s World Championship currently taking place in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (Canada).

The scoreboard gives fans not only the linescore from the games at the main stadium in Saskatoon, but the pitchers for each team as well as any players that have hit a home run in that game, plus the four umpires assigned to officiate on the field.

For even greater interaction with the tournament, starting with the conclusion of this morning's Botswana vs. USA game the ISF will be offering exclusive online video content for free via its YouTube channel. Not available anywhere else, the footage is being shot on-site in Saskatoon following selected games, and features an interview with a player or coach.

There are 16 teams competing at the marquee ISF tournament. They are: Argentina, Australia, Botswana, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Great Britain, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Philippines, Puerto Rico, South Africa, USA, and Venezuela.

New Zealand is the defending champion.

The tournament organizing committee is also offering another way to interact online with the tournament. Fans can watch games (from Bob Van Impe Stadium) through pay-per-view video streaming. The cost for a complete tournament package is $59.95 (Canadian), or, for the ten playoff games on the weekend of July 24, 25, & 26, $34.95 (Canadian). Games will be archived and can be viewed by a purchaser at a later time as well. To learn more as well as see a brief demo and sign up to receive the games, visit the official tournament website.
