Global Reach Sports, a leader in the development of online sports communities, just signed a contract with the United States Ski and Snowboard Association (USSA) to provide the non timing version of the USSA/FIS software used by the organization in all USSA/FIS events.

Recently, Global Reach Sports acquired the rights to this software from Split Second Timing, Inc. The software is used to manage registration and race management and results for all USSA events, including the sports of Snowboarding, Alpine Skiing, And Cross Country Skiing.

The Global Reach Sports contract extends the long-term relationship cultivated by Split Second Timing, who still will sell and manage the timing-aspect of the solution to the USSA. This joint solution will enable USSA to continue providing the highest level of service and features to their community of athletes, fans, resorts, and other organizations.

Geoff Elder, Chief Technology Officer of Global Reach Sports, states, "We're thrilled to add the functionality of the Split Second Timing Solution to SportsPower, the Global Reach Sports solution for building value in sports communities. We feel that our partnership will offer a more dynamic and encompassing solution to the USSA and will enable them to grow participation within their sport."
