Team Epic, the sponsorship and lifestyle marketing agency for NCAA Corporate Champion AT&T, has teamed up with ShotTracker to bring a real-time, data-driven basketball shootout to the AT&T Fan Zone at Bracket Town and Tourney Town, the official fan festivals for the Men's and Women's Final Four. ShotTracker is affordable, wearable shooting technology that automatically tracks shot attempts, makes and misses. "At the AT&T Fan Zone, we're highlighting the products and services that help to mobilize fans' passion for college basketball where they live, work and play," said Enrique Casanova, Vice President at Team Epic.

At the AT&T Fan Zone, through the end of the men's and women's championship games, fans can experience the latest wearable tech in basketball and compete against their friends and other attendees to see who makes the most baskets, tracked by ShotTracker's wrist device and net sensor. Fans who sink the most shots can earn bragging rights by ending up on the official ShotTracker Shootout Leader Board.
