Zeta Group Launches Tu Marcador Fantasy Game Powered by STATS; La Liga Contest Draws 4,000 Players in First Three Days

Barcelona – October 20, 2009 – Zeta Group announced today that STATS, the world’s leading sports technology, data and content provider, is powering its new Tu Marcador fantasy game for La Liga. Tu Marcador is available for play at Zeta Group’s Diario Sport, http://tumarcador.sport.es/index_sport.asp, and El Periodico, http://tumarcador.elperiodico.com/index_periodico.asp, web sites.

Tu Marcador game players are asked to predict the final score of each La Liga match. In addition, they can nominate one prediction as their “wildcard” selection in which bonus points are awarded for a correct prediction of the score for that match. Points are awarded for predicting the correct result of a match as well as for an accurate prediction of the final score.

Prizes are awarded to the top scores each week and to the top overall scorer at the end of the La Liga season. STATS is providing back-end, turnkey operations management of the game including development, web hosting, technical operations and customer service.

“The idea of launching a game with football or the sport as an anchor has always been among our objectives. We liked STATS’ offering from the first time we viewed it,” said Pep Puig, Jefe de Producto de ElPeriodico.com. “Anyone can play without being a great expert, and opens the possibility of establishing personal competitions amongst the users, which personalizes the participation. The excellent acceptance in the first few days since the launch confirms that we made the right choice.”

“STATS is very pleased to be Zeta Group’s partner for this initiative. We believe there are many creative avenues for fans to enjoy La Liga action using fantasy sports,” said Federico Winer, STATS’ Business Development Manager in Spain.

STATS LLC is a subsidiary of two global media enterprises -- the Associated Press and News Corporation -- and is a leading content provider of football internationally. The company enjoys a rapidly growing market position in Spain.
