RUWT? Sports is a technology company working to ensure that no sports fan ever misses an Instant Classic.
The core product is RUWTbot, a patent-pending engine that monitors box scores, team histories, Internet buzz, and other in-game stats of contests around the globe to determine in real-time which ones are getting exciting.
areyouwatchingthis.com marries this engine with television listings to send free alerts to sports fans whenever there’s a reason to hustle to the couch. By parsing television listings nightly for every cable and satellite provider in each ZIP and Postal Code in the U.S. and Canada, this sports-aware notification system can send email or SMS alerts with not only the score, but with why the game is worth watching (No-Hitter, Big Upset, Overtime, etc.) and the specific channel number that the fan needs to turn to to catch the finish.
thesportsbarproject.com uses this technology to help Sports Bar owners keep their TVs on the most exciting games and their patrons in their seats. Sold via monthly subscription, managers gain access to a tailored, online dashboard listing the most appealing games for their clientele. Instead of scrambling between TVs, remote in hand, they receive an automated schedule of which channel each TV should be on at any time.
The ultimate destination of the technology is the Living Room. Whether its charging fans $1.99/month to trigger on-screen alerts or an automatic recording in the closing moments of a thrilling game, or licensing the technology directly to MSOs to silently shift back your DVR recording of American Idol because a game went into triple overtime, it will revolutionize the TV watching experience for all—sports fans and non-fans alike.
