SportingPulse supports Arafura Games

SportingPulse supports Arafura Games
May 7, 2009

The 2009 Arafura Games gets underway in Darwin this Saturday (9th May) with the opening ceremony marking the start of nine days of top class sporting competition from the emerging champions of the Asia Pacific region.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Arafura Games which features 27 sports, as well as the return of the Oceania Open Paralympic Championships.

SportingPulse is once again proud to be the technology partner and sponsor of the Arafura Games.

SportingPulse software is being used to generate schedules and results for the 27 sports.

Games competitors who join mySport, can display their event information on their own personal website.

They can also keep a permanent record of their Games experience on their Sports Log and upload photos, slide shows and videos, which they can share with their fellow competitors and friends and family back home.

Two members of the SportingPulse Events Team are on site in Darwin to give support throughout the event.

Unlike the Olympics, the Arafura Games is not pitched at the world's elite athletes. The Games is a development Games where regional and development teams can mix with national teams to experience an international sporting event.

As well as the traditional sports, there are events specific to the region. Sepak Takraw is kick vollyball played with a rattan ball and Thai boxing, Muay Thai, has been added as a new sport this year along with Darts.

Northern Territory Minister for Sport and Recreation Kon Vatskalis recently stated that "the Arafura Games is the premier sporting event of the Territory and is about strengthening relationships with our Asian neighbours, bringing top class sporting competition to the Top End and showcasing emerging champions of the Asia Pacific region."

SportingPulse Chief Executive Nick Maywald added that "SportingPulse is proud of its association with the Arafura Games and to once again be its technology partner and sponsor."
