Thanks to Baseball Canada’s new integrated series of websites for eight of its national championships, fans won’t miss a beat as they follow their favourite teams on their quest for gold.

The new websites include all the information pertinent to each respective championship, from championship news, host city information and accommodations information to schedules, standings, statistics, photo galleries and more.

Baseball Canada designed the championship websites in preparation for next year’s single-site championships in Québec, Qué., when all of its championships, will be held in the same city for the second time in history. Windsor, Ontario hosted seven championships in 2003.

“This will help solve many of the problems that we have had in the past with respect to having the ability to provide the information fans were seeking in a timely manner,” said Jim Baba, Baseball Canada’s Director General. “With the implementation of a universal system and putting everybody on the same page, that information will be organized much more effectively and accessed with much more ease.”

The websites will be updated periodically throughout the day ensuring that new content, results and statistics are available on demand. Fans will get their first glimpse of how the websites work when the Senior Women’s National Championships get underway Thursday in Gatineau, Qué..

“The women’s championship gives us an excellent opportunity to pilot our new technology because the event is being hosted a full month before the rest of our championships,” said Baba. “We’ll have the opportunity to see exactly how the technology works when it is applied and have ample time to tweak a few things if we need to.”
