Notice for league mangers
When scheduling upcoming matches via FIBA Organizer, it is important that the guidelines outlined below are followed as best practice. Scheduling matches in advance is important in ensuring that all GeniusSports systems, from Webcasts to website widgets operate at optimum levels.
Furthermore, relevant and accurate information regarding matches can strengthen the relationships and connection between fans and their leagues, as fans expect acute and up to date information about their teams. We believe our users are the best around the world and these guidelines will help ensure these high standards are maintained for leagues, fans and our operating systems.
Please read below and ensure you are following each guideline closely when scheduling matches. If you have any questions regarding these guidelines, please email the support team directly at support@sportingpulseinternational.com and we will be happy to assist you.
