FIBA Organiser Workshop 2006 Kuala Lumpur













Welcome to FIBA Organizer

FIBA Organizer is the new generation in Sports Administration Software. Designed as an administration and competition management package for sporting organizations. FIBA Organizer aims to fully computerise all facets of sport administration and to give sport administrators more time to perform other Sport Administration roles.

Some of FIBA Organizer’s main features are:
• Easy to read schedules and standings
• Quick entry for results
• Membership management
• Transfer administration
• Tribunal administration
• Simple schedule generation
• Detailed reports
• Customisable reports

FIBA Organizer has been specifically tailored to allow for integration with the Internet. This is possibly one of FIBA Organizer’s biggest draw cards in that result, standings, schedules and other statistical information can be easily uploaded to the Internet to be displayed and viewed by members of your sporting community. This feature alone can save hours of valuable time.





Administration package aimed at bettering
sports administration on all levels FIBA has provided its 213 member federations around the globe the brand new 'FIBA Organizer', a software package for sports administration developed by SportingPulse. The software aims to fully computerize all facets of sports administration such as competition management (schedules, results, and standings) and membership database (clubs, players, coaches, and referees). The release of the software comes almost exactly one year after FIBA has entered into an agreement with SportingPulse Pty Ltd to develop and customize the product for the needs of the international basketball community. FIBA will cover the license fee for each of it national federations who wish to use it. FIBA's Secretary General Patrick Baumann said: "This product will save our national federations heavy development costs and will provide them with a state of the art turnkey solution for efficient sport administration. That goes alongside FIBA's long term strategy to ensure that all our members have proper management tools for their data. It also matches perfectly with the common database, which has been developed over the past two years by FIBA in co-operation with its five Zones." In a survey carried out by FIBA in the years 2000 - 2004 it showed that many federations where lacking reliable data support for their events and membership. "We have seen a great divergence in the way our national federations were handling their data," stated FIBA IT Manager Wolfram Klug. "Many federations could not rely on computerized data management due to missing resources and know how. We are aware that our bigger federations have their own solutions, but with the 'FIBA Organizer' we hope to overcome the divergence and offer a solution which is synchronized with the standards of the FIBA and FIBA Zone database." 'FIBA Organizer' has been specifically tailored to allow for integration with the Internet. This will enable the national federations to easily upload schedules, results, statistical information and standings to the Internet, which then could be displayed and viewed by the members of the sporting community. This would also allow national federations to gain web presence without major investment. Live statistics tools, where fans can basically follow the game results second by second and obtain a lot of background information, have been successfully used by FIBA, FIBA Europe, FIBA Asia, and FIBA Americas during their competitions. In a next step, FIBA is looking into the possibility to offer its national federations a solution for this feature.
