Unisys has been involved in golf scoring and TV graphic production
since 1980. It is the cornerstone of its entire sports program.
The NT-based Unisys Golf Scoring and Information System is a full-featured,
fast, and extremely reliable system for the collection and presentation
of stroke-play, match play and team play golf tournament scoring information
and is arguably the best in the world.
Scores and other statistics are entered directly into wireless electronic
data entry devices at greenside or from the course by radio and entered
at a central site via keyboard. Scoring and statistical data is presented
throughout the tournament venue on color PC workstations. Users can
obtain their own high-quality printed reports from workstation-attached
laser printers at any time during the tournament.
Near real-time scoring and statistical data can be viewed throughout
the global Internet. Content is automatically refreshed on hundreds
of Web pages immediately upon every score change.
On site, the system is used by host of different users. The press and
media constantly require information in order to file stories, and to
provide to-the-second TV and radio commentaries. At our major events,
such as the U.S. Open and the British Open, the international media
requires this critical information on a very timely basis. That is why
Unisys provides this data quickly, simply and accurately, all at the
touch of a button.
