CBS stopped supporting StatCrew. Schools and leagues that built their entire scoring and statistics workflow around it are now looking for a path forward. StatsGuy was built specifically for that transition.
StatCrew by CBS Sports was the industry standard for live sports scoring and statistics for decades. Athletic departments, media relations offices, and broadcast crews built their entire game-day workflow around it. Then CBS stopped developing it, stopped supporting it, and eventually stopped selling it — leaving schools and leagues with aging software running on aging hardware and no clear successor.
StatCrew wasn’t just software — it was a workflow. The automated scorecard concept it pioneered (where a single operator inputs plays and the software generates all derived statistics in real time) was genuinely elegant. Stats generate automatically from play input. The box score builds itself. The play-by-play writes itself. One person can run the entire statistical operation for a live game.
Most schools that looked at alternatives found tools that required more operators, more manual input, or more technical overhead to produce the same output. The thing StatCrew did well, it did very well — and finding a replacement that maintained that simplicity while modernizing the rest of the experience turned out to be harder than expected.
StatsGuy is built around the same proven concept: one operator, automated scorecard, real-time statistics that generate from play input. The difference is everything around that core:
StatCrew was a Windows desktop application. StatsGuy runs in any modern browser on any device. Open a URL, log in, start scoring. Works on a laptop, a tablet, a Chromebook, or a school-issued device that IT won’t let you install software on.
StatCrew stored everything locally. Lose the laptop, lose the stats. StatsGuy stores everything server-side. Stats from every game are always accessible from anywhere, and historical data doesn’t disappear when hardware fails.
Stats and scores update in real time as play input happens. Scoreboards, broadcasting graphics, and any connected display can pull live data directly — no manual export, no clipboard workaround, no delay between what the operator sees and what appears on screen.
StatsGuy was built by ClickingSpree — the same team that has produced live high school sports broadcasts for over a decade. We needed this tool ourselves. That’s why it works the way a real game-day operation needs it to work, not the way a software company thinks it should.
StatsGuy is designed for high school and collegiate athletic departments, sports information directors, media relations offices, and broadcast crews who need live statistics output without a full production infrastructure.
If your school ran StatCrew and you’re looking for a replacement that doesn’t require retraining your entire staff or switching to a platform built for the NFL — this is what we built it for.
Built by ClickingSpree for schools and leagues that need live scoring and statistics without the overhead of legacy desktop software. Web-based, real-time, and ready for game day.
