Austin, TX (Oct. 27, 2015) – FloSports has reached an agreement with Matside Productions, one of the nation’s most prolific wrestling event organizers and a leader in paperless tournaments, to bring its FloArena software to all Matside Productions’ wrestling meets.
The wrestling industry’s top event management software, FloArena offers a comprehensive suite of features, such as real-time mat scoring, that will allow Matside Productions to elevate the experience of its tournaments and events onsite and online.
“We look forward to working with FloSports to offer the best possible service for our events,” Matside Productions founder and CEO Paul Defosse said. “FloArena offers a significantly simplified toolset, which will help us raise the bar on our wrestling events. This partnership extends our ability to make a positive impact on the sport I’ve dedicated so much of my life to.”
Matside Productions runs some of the most prestigious wrestling tournaments in the U.S., including the Super 32 Challenge and Beast of the East, spanning youth, high school and college competitions.
“Working with Matside Productions was a no-brainer given its reputation as the go-to event administrator in wrestling,” FloSports co-founder and CEO Martin Floreani said. “We know FloArena will add a lot to Matside’s wrestling events and improve the experience for everyone involved – athletes, coaches, family, fans and event personnel.”
In recent months, FloSports has announced an agreement with Kapwrestling, which will use FloArena for all postseason tournaments in Massachusetts and Connecticut, as well as widespread clock and graphics integrations.
