Section Sports

Objective:

Section Sports wanted to create a national-level sports nexus.  Its goal was to be acquired by an established sports media and promotions partner.

Background:

Section Sports provides an online platform focused on recruiting coverage of standout high school athletes to all sports fans, and college or professional recruiters.  Initially SS worked with a freelancer for over a year before they abandoned the project due to various problems with the website and repeated delays.

Strategy:

Baytech decided to scrap the existing code and start afresh.  Baytech focused on making the website user-friendly and automated on the backend.

Solutions:

Part of the solution involved a dynamic interface that contained a searchable athlete database, social networking profiles for all users, a community forum, and an automated rankings system. With the wealth of information that Section Sports provided, the project needed an easy-to-use, robust content management system and backend portal.

Results:

Section Sports was successfully acquired by Yahoo! Sports and integrated seamlessly into its Rivals.com sports web portal.
