CHICAGO (Oct. 8, 2008) - The Xtreme Soccer League is pleased to announce a partnership with Pointstreak to provide real-time game statistics and, for the first time, an online XSL Fantasy Game.

Fans will be able to follow play-by-play and statistics of all 80 XSL games in 2008-09 through their team websites, updated in real time from every arena. In addition, by registering through XtremeSL.net or an individual team site, fans can play the XSL Fantasy Game. Select your team from all the XSL players, choose your weekly starting lineup and compare your best efforts against all the other participants for weekly and annual prizes.

"A thriving online community is an essential part of the Xtreme Soccer Xperience," said Mike Lafferty, chief operating officer of the XSL. "With experience in providing statistics for professional indoor soccer, Pointstreak is the perfect partner to help us expand that platform through the XSL Fantasy Game."

Pointstreak is the leading provider of real-time scoring and advanced league administration and statistical systems for league-based sports organizations. Pointstreak's product line includes solutions for amateur and recreational sports leagues as well as for professional, collegiate, and junior leagues.

"Pointstreak is proud to have been chosen by the Xtreme Soccer League as its official real-time scoring and statistics provider and we believe this decision will demonstrate that the XSL is committed to providing its fans with the opportunity to become more engaged in the indoor soccer game itself, regardless of their location, through this unique interactive experience," said Ken Cook, chief operating officer of Pointstreak. "The real-time functionality of our system allows all interested stakeholders of the league such as the players, fans and media partners to have access to information at their fingertips."

The Xtreme Soccer League was founded this summer with four teams - the Milwaukee Wave, Detroit Ignition, New Jersey Ironmen and Chicago Storm. More than an indoor soccer league, the XSX is an energetic and innovative 12-month sports lifestyle brand built around skilled soccer professionals, entertainment and fan participation - both live and online.
