SYNERGY STATS NOTIFICATION SYSTEM UPDATES

Synergy Stats notification alert system has an improved and facilitated design, where the alerts are noticeable and clear, and the workflow is simple, not clicks-consuming, and the idea is to notify statisticians to complete checks quickly and on time, so they assist with incorrect scores and clock discrepancies situations.

The Synergy Stats notification system aims to be users' ''best friend" and off-court assistant for the future.
