The conundrum: You’re a bass-fishing enthusiast who doesn’t want to miss a minute of the Wal-Mart FLW Tour event on Pickwick Lake, but you won’t be in Florence, Ala., this week to watch as the drama unfolds. The solution: Get online for daily, up-to-the-second weigh-in results as well as stats about your favorite anglers through FLWOutdoors.com’s FLW Live application.
The buzz
Thanks to some innovative technology, bass-fishing fans will be able to get “real-time” weigh-in results from the March 1-4 FLW Tour event at Pickwick Lake. What does that mean exactly? As soon as an angler walks across the stage, fans will be able to see those results immediately through “FLW Live™” – a popular feature at FLWOutdoors.com that brings the live weigh-in format right to your computer screen.
In a continuing effort to bring the sights and sounds of a live weigh-in directly to fans who cannot attend the event in person, FLW Live will offer FLWOutdoors.com visitors a live streaming video feed and real-time audio play-by-play for the entire weigh-in.
But that’s not the only highlight of the live weigh-in window.
At any moment during the weigh-ins, fans can search for their favorite anglers and get each day’s specific results. Throughout the weigh-in, FLWOutdoors.com visitors will receive detailed information (including angler photos) specifically related to each tournament-day weigh-in, including up-to-the-second results, current and previous days’ standings, and links to anglers’ bio pages. The pro and co-angler leaderboards will be constantly updated on FLW Live to bring fans all the latest action.
