Putting the Australian Pro Tour on air, tournament after tournament
LIGR provides production, broadcast graphics and live streaming across Tennis Australia's Australian Pro Tour and Australian Junior Nationals — at least twenty tournaments over eighteen months, every one driven by the umpire's own scoring.

The Challenge
The tier that never gets covered
Player development competitions are where careers are made and where broadcast budgets run out. A Pro Tour event runs for days, across multiple courts, in venues without a production gallery or a graphics operator. Covering twenty of them to a consistent standard is not a production problem so much as a repeatability problem.
Tennis is also the hardest sport to automate: no clock, no fixed schedule, matches finishing whenever they finish. The only reliable source of truth is the umpire, and the graphics have to follow that source exactly, match after match, with nobody from LIGR at the venue.
How It Works
Four steps, every tournament
01
Umpire data in
Live umpire scoring flows from Crionet's MatchScorer into the LIGR match engine through a custom adapter — point by point, game by game, including tie-breaks, break points, set points and match points.
02
One exclusive theme
Every graphic runs an exclusive Tennis Australia theme designed by LIGR in Rive: scorebug, scoreline, match summary, upcoming match and the lower-third family. One package covers every court at every tournament, so the look never drifts between events.
03
Produced and streamed
LIGR oversees the live production and technical delivery with production partner DoubleTake Sports, and the coverage is distributed through beIN Sports to audiences worldwide.
04
Highlights, automatically
The platform cuts a highlight reel from every match as it finishes, so Tennis Australia and the host clubs can post to social while the players are still on court — no editor, no turnaround.

The Pro Tour package, driven by the umpire
Scorebug with break point, tie-break, match point and stats states, the full scoreline, a match summary with set-by-set scores and eight match stats, the upcoming-match card and the lower-third family. Rendered here from the production Rive files with invented players.
Straight to Social
Highlights before the players leave the court
Because the platform already holds every match event, it assembles a highlight reel as each match ends. Tennis Australia and the host clubs publish it immediately — which for a development tier is often the only coverage a player's match would otherwise get.
What It Takes
Built to repeat
Driven by the umpire's own scoring
MatchScorer is the source of truth on court. The graphics react to it directly, so what viewers see matches the official score with no operator in between.
An exclusive tour theme
Designed once in Rive to Tennis Australia's brand, bound to the data centrally, and versioned in the theme library — every tournament inherits it.
Twenty-plus tournaments, one workflow
From junior national events through to the professional circuit, every tournament is set up the same way: load the draw, pick the theme, go live.
Highlights without an edit suite
Match events are already in the platform, so the highlight package is assembled from the same data that drove the graphics.
Distributed to a worldwide audience
Streams are delivered through beIN Sports, with the same production standard on every court.
Player development, on air
The Pro Tour and Junior Nationals are where Australian players come through. Sustained coverage gives those competitions the visibility they have not had.
