NCAA Championship Host Sites
Software Setup and Support for Live and Media Stats
StatBroadcast and NCAA Digital have partnered to streamline the delivery of live stats XML to the NCAA's website and digital partners (Turner, CBS, ESPN) for NCAA championship events through the use of StatBroadcast's Broadcastr software in conjunction with StatCrew.
For select NCAA Championships, StatBroadcast and the NCAA have also partnered to provide real-time stats feeds to credentialed media and staff at championship tournament sites via NCAA.COM/MEDIASTATS.
Please note that (when available) StatBroadcast's media stats feeds for NCAA Championships are intended for use by members of the working media and event staff only. They are not meant to be shared with the public viewing audience. Please help us abide by broadcasting contracts by assisting us in this regard.
All tournament host sites will need to send a live XML stats feed of each event to StatBroadcast as well as NCAA.com (Turner Sports or Gametracker) and ESPN (for select championships). The instructions below will assist you in configuring this at your site.
Should you encounter any difficulties or issues during either of these setup processes, please feel free to contact us and we can walk you through the process step-by-step to identify any specific issues relating to your setup.

Setup Instructions for Current StatBroadcast schools
Current StatBroadcast partner Universities/Conferences:
If your university or conference is a current partner of StatBroadcast, you will not require any additional software. Your tournament events have already been added to your account and you may utilize the same Broadcastr setup that you do for the regular season.

Once you have completed the steps above for setting up your computer to send your live stats to StatBroadcast, you can use one of the existing test events to test your setup for sending to StatBroadcast as well as ESPN/Turner/CBS.
At your convenience, anytime prior to your tournament games, we ask that you please complete the setup process and send us a test game to confirm that your site is prepared for the tournament.
To send a test game from the Broadcastr software, please load one of the test events for the sport you are testing (Please note the event number for finding the test).
