The Augsburg University Sports Information department is in charge of all public relations efforts involving the university's men's and women's varsity intercollegiate athletic teams. Augsburg's sports information office produces media guides, schedules and athletic publications; distributes news releases to hometown, regional and national media; maintains the athletics portion of the Augsburg web site and main athletic department social media accounts; produces update materials for distribution on- and off-campus; produces materials for college publications and newsletters; works with Augsburg's broadcasting team; keeps statistical and historical files of college teams and individuals; and serves as spokesperson regarding athletic issues and public events.

Gameday services
Augsburg's Sports Information office produces gameday programs, which include rosters, detailed statistics and game notes. Opponents are asked to supply Augsburg -- either via e-mail, fax or with a link to availability on the web -- with detailed rosters, up-to-date statistics and season scores, for use in our gameday program no later than a day before the event.

Following a home event, Augsburg will supply all results to both home and visiting media. Augsburg always contacts the Minneapolis Star-Tribune and St. Paul Pioneer Press with scores and game story/statistics (where applicable), along with local TV and sports/news radio stations after football games (Twin Cities TV/radio does not run scores for other events).

Augsburg will also e-mail results and a game story/statistics to opponent media. Please contact the sports information office at least a day in advance of a game with media e-mail addresses. Opposing teams are also free to use computers, phones and fax machines in the athletic office or sports information office. Please ask the sports information director or an athletic staff member for assistance.

Media members at Augsburg events may file stories from the press box, press row, or from the sports information office. The sports information office is located in the main intercollegiate athletic office in Si Melby Hall.

For home events, all game stories and statistics are posted on Augsburg's athletic website.

Statistics services
Augsburg uses the NCAA Live Stats (Genius) statistics programs for football, volleyball, men's/women's soccer, men's/women's ice hockey, and men's/women's basketball, the Presto Sports statistics programs for baseball, softball, and lacrosse, and Statcrew for men's/women's golf. 

Augsburg uses the "in-game" functions of all stat programs, and will supply visiting teams and media with complete statistics, including written play-by-play, immediately following the game. For most home games in football, volleyball, men's/women's soccer, men's/women's basketball, men's/women's hockey, wrestling and softball, Augsburg will have live statistics available on the web. Links will be available on Augsburg's athletic website.

During games, Augsburg provides quarterly "flash" statistics in the press box for football, halftime statistics for basketball, and statistics/shot charts between periods for ice hockey. Between-game/set statistics are provided in volleyball and baseball/softball (doubleheaders).

Postgame, Augsburg will e-mail Stat Crew packed game files to opposing SIDs, and will also send game files to the MIAC office for conference statistics.

All Augsburg season and game statistics are kept up-to-date and posted on Augsburg's athletic website. Augsburg will not fax advance statistics to opponents; opponents can find the information easily available on the web.

Augsburg follows all NCAA statistics guidelines, including guidelines for changing official statistics in case of an appeal or error. NCAA statistics guidelines (Division III Rule 31.9) are available on the NCAA website (www.ncaa.org). Please note that any requests for statistics changes will NOT be accepted from student-athletes, parents or friends. Requests for statistics changes will only be considered if made by a head coach or opponent sports information director.

Broadcast services
All Augsburg athletic venues are available for broadcasters to use free of charge. Three broadcast phone lines are available in Si Melby Hall (basketball, volleyball), three lines are available in the Edor Nelson Field press box (football, soccer, softball), and one broadcast line is available in the Augsburg Ice Arena (hockey; another line is available if needed).

All phone lines are "local-only" and do not have long-distance capabilities; radio stations must have a board operator call the on-site number, or the on-site broadcaster must have a toll-free number to use.

Radio/TV broadcasters are asked to confirm phone line availability with the sports information office at least one week in advance of a game.

Web services
All Augsburg athletic information is up-to-date on Augsburg's athletic website. Statistics, game stories, up-to-date news and player/coach biographies are all available online. Opponents are encouraged to find information online before contacting the sports information or athletic office with questions.
