eSports League Manager, GamerZone

"The API integration capabilities are what sold us on TrackScore for our multi-game tournament series. We're pulling data from five different games with unique scoring systems, and TrackScore handles it all. Our viewership on Twitch increased 45% when we added the embedded scoreboard to our stream overlays. Worth every penny of the Enterprise plan."

High School Science Teacher

"I started with the free plan for my high school science class competition, and it transformed student participation. The public scoreboard created such positive peer motivation that our principal approved the Pro plan for the entire school. Now we use it for our reading challenge, STEM competitions, and even our recycling program. Student participation in academic competitions is up 35%!"

Marcus Johnson

Sales Director, TechSolutions Inc.

"We implemented TrackScore for our sales team scoreboards last quarter, and saw a 28% increase in sales activity. The real-time updates and gamification aspects have really motivated our team. I'd give 5 stars but we're still waiting on a few custom features the support team promised. Overall though, it's been a solid investment for boosting team performance."

Event Coordinator, City Marathon

"TrackScore saved us during our annual charity marathon with 3,000+ runners. Our previous timing system crashed, and we were able to set up TrackScore as a backup within 30 minutes. The QR code feature let spectators instantly access results, and our sponsor visibility increased significantly with the branded scoreboard displays. For next year's event, we're going all-in with TrackScore as our primary system."
