SportsEngine and TeamRunner Partner to Power Sports Event Marketplace
MINNEAPOLIS, MN. ― (PRWEB) December 01, 2016 -- SportsEngine and TeamRunner announced today an integration to help tournament directors and team managers save money and simplify planning for everyone who organizes tournaments. Through integration with SportsEngine, TeamRunner further simplifies team managers’ jobs utilizing existing team information in SportsEngine.

“It is great that TeamRunner and SportsEngine have teamed up to simplify life for the tournament directors and Team Managers. We both use state of the art technologies and provide significant value for sports players and their families,” said Ziad Tleimat, TeamRunner CEO. “Integrating with SportsEngine allows us to offer their customers better buying power in our marketplace and when businesses compete teams always win.”
Hundreds of tournaments have turned to TeamRunner, including the world’s largest soccer tournament with 3,500 teams in 12 cities, to create an integrated one-stop marketplace enabling the tournament directors to focus on what matters most: creating the best sporting event and a great customer experience for participating teams. Additionally, TeamRunner allows team managers to create a trip profile and invite businesses in destination cities to bid and compete for the trip.
