ScoreTRAX™ is a free SMS subscription service that allows sports fans to stay up-to-date with scores and news from their favorite youth, high school, college, amateur, and pro teams. Fans simply create their accounts and choose their teams (or subscribe by SMS code), and ScoreTRAX does the rest. Teams can build their subscriber bases, upload their schedules, input their content using our convenient game template tools, & manage local ad campaigns.
Teams and schools can even use the system to schedule or send SMS messages to all of their subscribers. Messages can be configured to automatically post to Facebook or Twitter accounts, providing a "one stop shop" for managing all communications, including social media. ScoreTRAX provides multiple revenue-generating opportunities for teams and schools, as well as effective, targeted advertising channels for companies of all types.

In a world where everyone seems to be developing or using mobile-phone apps, a company called ScoreTRAX is betting that there is a big business providing sports fans with scores and updates via the simplest of technologies: text messages.
Instead of streaming video or interactive 3D, the Raleigh, N.C.-based ScoreTRAX gives schools and teams a simple way to send scores, messages and other information to fans via text messages, otherwise known as SMS (for Short Message Service), which is available on just about every cell phone, including cheaper feature phones. According to founder Mark Janas, SMS is a perfect way to provide exposure to “a whole group of sports teams that are underserved,” including high school teams, youth leagues, small colleges and even minor-league operations.
Entering its second full year of operation, ScoreTRAX is looking to push past its initial-season base of 50,000 subscriptions with the goal of having an audience of 1 million ScoreTRAX subscribers. To get there, Janas and his company need to find schools or teams who are looking for a way to simply keep fans abreast of what’s going on in bursts of 160 characters or less — with plans that call for little or in some cases no up-front spending by the teams.
