Sports Management Meets Social Networking: TeamSnap Announces Facebook Integration

TeamSnap, a leading web service for managing sports teams and leagues, today announced that users on the TeamSnap service can automatically post team scores to Facebook.  TeamSnap will provide users a variety of customization options to control how the scores are posted to Facebook: users can post to a personal wall or a team page, they can let TeamSnap describe the outcome or use their own language, and they can choose to post only wins or other specific outcomes.

“800 million people use Facebook to connect with their family and friends.  Our users had expressed tremendous interest in being able to leverage the power of Facebook from within TeamSnap,” commented Dave DuPont, TeamSnap CEO.  “If your team wins, you want to let your friends and family know! You can now use TeamSnap to automatically tell them.”

"Automatically posting results to our team's Facebook fan page is a super easy and fun way to communicate with the team and keep everyone engaged," said Jared Bronson, Team Commander of the Bad Karma Paintball Team.  The Bad Karma team is a nationally competitive paintball team in the Salt Lake area.

The most intuitive and easy-to-use web application since Gmail

TeamSnap is my new favorite website. Beyond its sheer handiness, TeamSnap is the most intuitive and easy-to-use Web application since Gmail. A half-drunk lobotomized chimp could register a team. And probably play shortstop." —Margaret Lyons, TimeOut Chicago

It works on any budget

"Managing a team for coed, intramural or beer league sports can be a tricky thing. Tracking down team members, arranging and sharing game time and location information, and keeping track of who's paid what and who's in need of equipment or uniforms or things like that can all present quite a challenge. TeamSnap takes a lot of that trickiness out of the process, and there's a free plan, so it works on any budget."—Darrell Etherington, Web Worker Daily

You can even customize it

"Online team management software, such as TeamSnap, let you know who will and won't be at a specific game, who's bringing snack, and who's paid their registration fees. You can even customize it to keep track of uniform sizes and more!"—Emily Cohen, Youth Soccer Insider
