Sports data and integrity solutions provider Genius Sports
has been selected as the global integrity partner of the Brazilian Volleyball
Confederation (CBV).
Genius Sports’ Integrity Services will work with the
professional volleyball association to launch a comprehensive integrity and
official data strategy to combat match-fixing and data piracy.
Genius Sports’ Bet Monitoring System will provide betting
intelligence, detailed reports and analysis of global betting markets on all
CBV competitions, with the agreement also seeing Genius Sports provide its Data
Volley and VideoCheck scouting and review systems.
Data Volley enables coaches to analyse every play,
combination and skill with in-depth performance data, while VideoCheck utilises
17 high-speed cameras to detect all major fouls and faults, ensuring the
accuracy of every referee decision.
“We sought a new partner who’d be aware of the importance
of protecting us from the threats of match-fixing,” said CBV executive director
Radamés Lattari. “And that’s not all. With Genius Sports, we will be enhancing
our digital framework by improving the use of statistics while also deploying
the challenge system more regularly. We are very pleased.”
Genius Sports managing director Steven Burton commented: “This wide-ranging partnership with the CBV is another major milestone for Genius Sports in one of the largest sports markets in the world.
“Our integrity, data and video solutions are trusted by leagues and federations at all levels of world sport and we look forward to delivering their combined value to one of the premier organisations in volleyball.”
