“…Studies conducted about the overall organization of the Olympic Games IT infrastructure have been published for the past few events. Usually they focus on the resources used, the technologies involved and the results obtained through data and feedback from viewers, athletes, and media [6,14,15]. Though not the primary focus of these papers, some details and information related to the production, deployment, and use of the CIS is available.…”

“…Starting from the 1992 Summer Olympic Games in Barcelona, and through to the 2004 Summer Olympic Games in Athens, [6,8,14,15], the technical resources employed in the organization of the Olympic Games have greatly evolved in quantity and quality. While the CIS remains essentially the same, interacting with the same components -the INFO database and servers -the network architecture has gone from coaxial cable to optic fibers and the communication from wired to cell.…”

“…A great deal of effort and work goes into developing the IT infrastructure of a major sporting event, and the CIS back-end, as has been described in [1,8,14,15], and these sources should be consulted for more details. From the perspective of the usability evaluation we are interested in performing, the underlying implementation details are of relatively little consequence.…”

Many of the most vivid recollections we have of major sporting events and accomplishments as TV viewers and sports fans are things like scores, statistics, or the TV images of specific events. What make many of these live in our memories, or grab our attention in the first place is often the commentator or sports-caster, their words of wisdom, or lack thereof, the excitement and emotion in their voices, echoing our own. The commentator is a vital part to the sportscast experience, part of what can make watching sports remotely more enjoyable than at the stadium. In order to provide accurate and timely data to TV viewers, radio, or online listeners, commentators sometimes rely on a system called the Commentator Information System (CIS). In this paper we present an in-depth usability study of a CIS, how commentators do their job, how the process may be improved, and how to make sportscasts and simulations more enjoyable in the future.
