A few days ago, the Gesdeportiva System was implemented in two games of the Salteña Basketball Association, which continues to bet on the future.

Friday, September 30, 2022 was not another day for Salta basketball. It was a historic day for the discipline because the Gesdeportiva System began to function in an official competition. It was within the framework of the Closing Tournament “Municipality of Salta” organized by the Salteña Men’s Basketball Association (ASBM) with the clashes between El Tribuno BB-Sargento Cabral and General Paz-Independiente.

Since the beginning of 2022, the Argentine Basketball Confederation (CAB) has used the Gesdeportiva system “allowing the total registration of the activity and each of its components (players, teams, referees, coaches) digitally and accessible from any device -phone cell phone, tablet or notebook. It is a nationwide digital system that will save time and money, that will make everything more transparent, fluid, orderly and efficient,” the CAB said at the time.

A sports management software with a history of more than two decades that was used in countries such as Spain or Uruguay. It includes the details of each player in a digital spreadsheet, the same with the competition (fixtures and position tables), which allows each component to access their unique and transferable credential.

“In order to reach this historic day, we had to, from the ASBM, work a lot with the clubs that at first were not entirely convinced. We held training sessions and numerous meetings to expose the benefits that this digital system will bring along with competition. The leaders they made a great effort for the implementation as well as for the persuasion with the parents and relatives”, expressed Fernando Palópoli, head of the ASBM.

“I am extremely excited because it is a before and after for basketball in the province,” said the sports director.

Clubs such as El Tribuno BB, Sargento Cabral, Villa 20 de Febrero, or even from the interior of the province, are already familiar with the Gesdeportiva system for having been part of the Federal Basketball Tournament (TFB), the third division at the national level, which has been using the Ges.

The leaders of Salta will no longer have to pay forms and papers for the local competition, they will not have the obligation to travel to the ASBM to leave the paper form, now the Ges will be in charge of organizing the competitions and digitally keeping all the information both of the parties as well as of their protagonists. In addition, among other benefits, coaches and players will be able to be aware not only of the results but also the monitoring of their rivals, an issue that will level and improve internal competition.

The information will also benefit, it will be democratic and both the public and the media will be able to follow in real time what is happening with domestic basketball in Salta.

It was announced that the management undertaken before the Ministry of Government, so that each club has a tablet, essential to carry out this gradual process of historical change, has given good results and soon each Salta basketball institution will have the necessary technology.
