The NCAA Basketball Tournament is a favorite time of year here at Sports Technologies since we are the developers of the Official NCAA March Madness Bracket Challenge game. In addition to the Men's bracket, we produce a version of the bracket for the Women's NCAA Tournament, and a Round by Round Pick'em game that lets fans return and pick games before each round, instead of the traditional bracket the locks prior to the start of the tournament. Our bracket application is part of the NCAA® March Madness® Live Mobile App available in the iTunes store. And last but not least, we have teamed up with BleacherReport.com to produce versions of the Bracket Challenge and Round By Round Challenge for their users.

NHL Hat Trick and Power Rankings
Brent
Although the NHL is playing a shortened season in 2013, Sports Technologies is going all out to bring Hockey Fans the Hat Trick Challenge and Fan Rankings to NHL.com.
The Hat Trick Challenge gives fans an opportunity to pick the answer to three daily questions surrounding NHL games. It could simply be predicting which team will win, or if a player or team will perform in a statistical category. STI builds the tools for NHL editors to input questions, and they are automatically scored by using a data feed provided by the NHL.
Sport Technologies has provided a Rankings Widget that lets fans drag and drop teams into position and vote for the top 16 teams in the league. This voting widget complements NHL.com's editorial content for their weekly Power 16 rankings by displaying fan rankings along side their editorial picks.
NASCAR Fantasy Live is the only NASCAR fantasy game to offer live scoring! Players manage a team of five Sprint Cup Series drivers against a $100 salary cap while picking drivers with the best chance at scoring the most points each week. Bonus points can be earned by picking the winning car manufacturer and top pit crew for that week. Players can join or create a League at any time throughout the season.
Streak to the Finish is a game where players pick the driver they think will finish in the top 10 each week. If a correct pick is made, the streak begins and the player may no longer choose that driver until the streak is broken. Players earn points towards prizes by their pick's finishing position each week and by maintaining long streaks.
