SPORTSENGINE PARTNERS WITH VIDEO-BASED MOBILE APP TOPYA!

August 30, 2017 By admin

Integration aims to increase athlete, coach and family engagement for youth and amateur sports organizations

 MINNEAPOLIS, MINN / August 30, 2017 – SportsEngine and TopYa!, a video-based mobile app that motivates and inspires players to reach new levels of skill and creativity, have partnered to integrate TopYa!’s content with SportsEngine’s platform. Through this integration, SportsEngine customers can upload TopYa! video skills challenges onto their websites and social media channels. The partnership will allow leagues, teams and camps to highlight individual athlete accomplishments, drive more at-home practice, and deepen brand engagement with their members. The initial integration rollout will include TopYa!’s apps for Soccer, Volleyball, and Lacrosse (The Paul Rabil Experience).

Traditionally, coaches ask kids to practice at home without a way to evaluate their skills, reward extra practice, or hold athletes accountable. With TopYa!, young athletes can pursue skills and freestyle activities at home by participating in video challenges and contests with other kids around the world. Coaches can evaluate and provide feedback on the young athletes’ videos, and athletes earn points for their accomplishments. This leads to better engagement with the sports organization and more practice minutes, on a single platform.

“So many of our customers are looking for ways to further engage with their athletes and families,” said Justin Kaufenberg, CEO, SportsEngine. “Through our new partnership with TopYa! we’re able to provide an interactive solution that will allow their athletes to stay involved away from the field, and provide an enhanced content experience for their website and social channels.”

Thousands of sports organizations have chosen SportsEngine to run their website, tournaments, leagues, online registration and mobile apps. Through these applications, over 650,000 sports teams, clubs and leagues are able to drastically reduce the time they spend on administration and communication, allowing them to focus on spending time with their athletes. Momentum in all sports has accelerated for SportsEngine with recent agreements signed with governing bodies, organizations, and teams.

NEW NBC “SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL” OPEN FEATURING CARRIE UNDERWOOD’S “OH, SUNDAY NIGHT” – PREVIEW NOW ON NBCSPORTS.COM

August 30, 2017 By admin

New Sunday Night Football Show Open Starring Carrie Underwood & 10 NFL Players Premieres on Sun., Sept. 10 Giants-Cowboys SNF Opener

Special Camera Technology – The Bolt and The Phantom – Utilized to Accentuate Player Athleticism

2016 Rookie of Year Dak Prescott, 2016 Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack & Super Bowl 50 MVP Von Miller Take Part alongside Antonio Brown, Derek Carr, Dont’a Hightower, Travis Kelce, Julio Jones, Patrick Peterson & Jason Pierre-Paul

STAMFORD, Conn. – August 30, 2017 – In 11 days on Sunday, Sept. 10, seven-time Grammy Award-winner and multi-platinum recording artist Carrie Underwood and 10 NFL players star in the debut of the 2017 show open for primetime television’s No. 1 program, NBC’s Sunday Night Football. A sneak preview is now available on NBCSports.com (here).

The open makes its television debut on Sunday, Sept. 10 as the New York Giants visit the Dallas Cowboys on NBC’s Sunday Night Football. Tripp Dixon is creative director of the SNF show open.

Special camera technology was used this year to accentuate the athleticism of the players. The Bolt, an ultra-high-speed camera arm, was paired with The Phantom, a camera known for its slow-motion capabilities. These two technologies were combined to allow the camera to accelerate from a standstill to top speed in a fraction of second and capture the players’ mid-air movements at 300 frames per second.

Underwood is joined in the show open by 10 NFL players, who have accounted for 30 Pro Bowl selections, four Super Bowl rings, and six first-round draft picks. Following is the complete list of the players:

  • Pittsburgh Steelers WR Antonio Brown
  • Oakland Raiders QB Derek Carr
  • New England Patriots LB Dont’a Hightower
  • Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce
  • Atlanta Falcons WR Julio Jones
  • Oakland Raiders LB Khalil Mack
  • Denver Broncos LB Von Miller
  • Arizona Cardinals CB Patrick Peterson
  • New York Giants DE Jason Pierre-Paul
  • Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott

 

“Oh, Sunday Night” is set to the music of “Somethin’ Bad,” a chart-topping duet from Underwood and Miranda Lambert which was released in 2014 and earned a Grammy nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance. Underwood worked with the songwriters of “Somethin’ Bad”– Chris DeStefano, Brett James, and Priscilla Renea – to rewrite the lyrics for Sunday Night Football. The result, “Oh, Sunday Night,” was produced by Mark Bright and Chris DeStefano.

SNF IS TV’S NO. 1 PRIMETIME PROGRAM FOR RECORD 6 CONSECUTIVE YEARS: NBC’s Sunday Night Football finished as primetime’s #1 TV show in all key metrics for a record sixth consecutive year – tying American Idol for the most consecutive years atop the charts (since 1950), based on live plus same day data provided by The Nielsen Company. Sunday Night Football also ranked as the No. 1 show in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic for the seventh consecutive TV season.

About Carrie Underwood:

Carrie Underwood emerged from the promise of her 2005 American Idol win to become a true multi-format, multi-media superstar, spanning achievements in music, television, and film. A seven-time GRAMMY® Award winner, she has amassed over 100 major honors, sold 64 million records worldwide, and recorded 26 #1 singles, 13 of which she co-wrote, with a catalog of songs that have been streamed more than 2.6 billion times worldwide. The first female artist to be twice named the Academy of Country Music’s Entertainer of the Year, Underwood was recognized by Pollstar as the top female country touring artist for each of her headlining tours in 2008, 2010, 2012, and for 2016’s “The Storyteller Tour – Stories in the Round.” Carrie also topped Billboard’s Top 25 Tours of 2016 as the leading female country artist and was the leading female artist on Country Aircheck’s top country radio performers list for her success in both 2015 and 2016. All five studio albums, Some Hearts, Carnival Ride, Play On, Blown Away, and Storyteller – are certified Platinum or multi-Platinum, and each an American Music Awards winner as Favorite Country Album – and tallied an incredible 40 weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.  The RIAA’s highest certified country album artist to debut this century, Underwood also holds the distinction of the highest album certification of any country artist to emerge since 2000 with the 8x Multi-Platinum success of her 2005 debut, Some Hearts.  She is the all-time Top Country Artist (male or female) on RIAA’s Digital Single Ranking, also placing her among the Top 5 females in the history of RIAA’s Digital Single Program across all genres.  In December of 2014, she released her Platinum-certified Greatest Hits: Decade #1, which produced two new #1 hits co-written by Underwood, including the RIAA-Platinum, GRAMMY-winning “Something in the Water.”  The Grand Ole Opry member demonstrated her creative diversity in 2013 starring as Maria von Trapp in NBC’s three-hour holiday blockbuster, the Emmy®-winning The Sound of Music Live!, whose airings attracted 44 million viewers. The reigning CMA Female Vocalist of the Year, Underwood claimed her fourth win in the category amid the ongoing success of her chart-topping platinum fifth studio album, Storyteller, which produced four #1 hits. This November, Underwood will co-host the CMA Awards for a tenth consecutive year.

Format: Beginning with the Round of 16 on Tuesday night, the Open Division will be contested through a single-elimination bracket, narrowing to the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals to ultimately determine a winner during Wednesday night’s telecast. The Women’s Division also will use a single-elimination match play format for the semifinals and finals on Wednesday.
A first for Women’s Division: For the first time, the Women’s Division at the Volvik World Long Drive Championship will be showcased live and in primetime on television.
New team format: Tuesday night’s telecast also will introduce a new team format, with the top-four in the Women’s Division having advanced earlier in the day to compete in Wednesday night’s semifinals being paired with the four highest-ranked men in the Open Division not having advanced from the Round of 32. The four, two-person “mixed” teams will face off in a match play bracket format that will use the aggregate yardage of each team member’s longest drive in the set versus that of their opponent’s aggregate yardage.
