Powering the INTENNSE 2026 Season Live Draft
In addition to its on-court presence, IONSport will also power a major moment for INTENNSE as the Official Technology Partner for the league’s inaugural live player draft, taking place March 13 at RacquetX.
The live draft marks a defining moment for INTENNSE as the league expands from three teams to ten for the 2026 season.
Eighty selections.
Forty men. Forty women.
One three-hour night that will shape the future of the league.
The snake-style draft will begin with the men’s first round followed by the women’s first round, alternating throughout the evening. The draft order was determined by random selection in February.
Interest in the league has been significant, with 373 players registering for consideration, including 229 men and 144 women. After an extensive evaluation process, the field has been narrowed to 80 players who will hear their names called live at RacquetX.
The INTENNSE Live Draft begins at 6:00 p.m. ET on Friday, March 13 and will be followed by a full draft special across league channels.
“This is exactly the kind of environment our platform is built for,” said David Mowrey, Founder and CEO of IONSport. “Whether it’s powering live competition on center court or supporting a league-defining moment like the INTENNSE draft, our mission is to help organizations elevate and simplify the competition experience while connecting fans to every point.”
