ScoutsFeed gets the STATSCORE treatment! We are always looking to improve and increase what we can provide for you. Check out what we are up to with Scoutsfeed!!!

HOWE WE CREATE THE HIGH-QUALITY SPORTS DATA FEED

Today, I would like to share with you the sports we cover in ScoutsFeed. But first, a little bit about how we create this great data feed and the clue’s in the name. ScoutsFeed is data collected by our huge army of scouts and backed up by a large team of quality control editors working out of our head offices in Katowice.

SPORT RELATIONS DIRECTLY FROM THE VENUE

I could leave it there, but there’s so much more. Our scouts work via the lowest latency TV streams or from the venues. When the data is collected directly from the venue, it’s one of the quickest feeds around. Live data delivered in under 2 seconds! Yes, I know – it’s fast! “The STATSCORE treatment” means that we are constantly looking to increase the number of sports we cover, which now stands at 13, and the percentage of events we cover from venues.

SOCCER

No getting away from it, we have to start with the most popular sport on the planet, soccer! It’s played by over 250 million players in over 200 countries. The last world cup (2018, held in Russia) was watched by more than 4 billion people and ScoutsFeed now covers leagues and competitions from all around the world.

AMERICAN FOOTBALL

The record-breaking Super Bowl final LIII is still fresh in the minds of fans. A final that saw some long-standing records broken. Did you know that Tom Brady became the most successful player in the history of the NFL? He has now won 6 of the highly prized Super Bowl rings! If this wasn’t enough, he also became the oldest Quarterback to win and play in a Super Bowl final.

BADMINTON

Another great sport. For those of you that don’t know, Badminton is a racquet sport that’s played using racquets to hit a shuttlecock across a net. Badminton is also an Olympic sport and played regularly by some 220 million people. A large number of these are based in Asia, but did you know that the UK has 4 million registered players and that’s 8% of the population.

BASEBALL

We all know that Baseball is a major sport in the USA, but did you know that it’s played in around 122 countries and there is an estimated 35 million player registered worldwide!

BASKETBALL

Basketball, another great game and very popular around the world. The NBA may be the biggest and the most well know, but there are great league wherever you travel! The federation of international Basketball reckons there is a minimum of 450 million people playing the sport.

BEACH VOLLEYBALL

Not too many sports are played on the beach in the sunshine! But Beach Volleyball is one of the few. But did you know that it’s said to have started on Waikiki Beach in Hawaii and has been an Olympic sport since the 1996 Summer Olympics?

BOWLS

I know what you’re thinking, not the fastest sport in the world, but it is played in 51 counties across 6 continents! And just because it’s not the first sport that comes to mind, we believe that all sports fans should be able to follow their favourite sports, teams and players.

VOLLEYBALL

What a great game. Some of you out there will know that STATSCORE’s head office is based in Poland and last year, Poland won the Men’s Volleyball World Championships to retain the title they won four years earlier on home soil! But Poland is not alone in its passion for Volleyball. The FIVB has 5 continental confederations that are made up of over 200 counties.

HANDBALL

Handball is a very fast-moving game where 50 plus goals are often scored in a single game. It’s very popular across Europe. The International Handball Federation estimates that there are around 27 million players worldwide, playing for nearly 2 million teams.

ICE HOCKEY

Ice Hockey is a contact sport played on ice, as the name suggests, but I’m sure all you Hockey fans out there didn’t need me to tell you that! But did you know that The Polish Ice Hockey Federation has decided to use us as their official statistics provider! We have the data that theses big organizations want.

SNOOKER

Did you know that snooker originated among British Army Offices stationed in India during the latter half of the 19th century? Who’s your favourite player? Some of the big names around at the moment include this likes of Judd Trump, John Higgins, Ronnie O’Sullivan,  Mark Williams and Mark Selby, just to name a few.

TABLE TENNIS

Table Tennis is also known as Ping-Pong, is a fast-paced sport played on a table as the name suggests. The game can be played in both singles and double formats. It’s believed to have started in the 1880s and was first played by tennis players during the cold winter months. It’s estimated there are now around 900 million fans and players worldwide!

TENNIS

Tennis is one of the most popular we cover. I’m sure I don’t need to tell anyone that it’s a racket sport that can be played in singles or doubles format and that there are also team events such as the Hoffman Cup. The WTA for women and the ATP for the men lead the way, but the game is played or watched worldwide by an estimated 1.2 billion people!
