The Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»Secondary School Athletic Association is throwing in the towel on Playerstreak.com, a league management site that tracks the citys public school sports schedules, scores and playoffs. The VSSAA has returned to esportsdesk.com, a more cumbersome but also more affordable site, which has partial season results dating back at least five years with the exception of the 2010-11 season.
A yearly subscription to Playerstreak.com cost the school board $6,400, according to a communications manager. This figure was more than 10-times the fee for esportsdesk.com, which the school board paid $360 annually to use.
The decision to try the more expensive Playerstreak.com was made because the site has more functions, more streamlined scheduling, enhanced communication tools and better playoff management. It was also easier for Harp Sohi, the school boards athletic director, to track league information.
Ultimately there were a lot of bells and whistles with PlayerStreak, said communication director Kurt Heinrich. The problem was that many of our athletic directors werent making use of all the features. As a result, it became clear to our team that we were not getting the best bang for our buck. The decision was made to go back to the basics.
