SCORETRACKER® LIVE Brings Pro Tournament Fishing Excitement to Anglers & Organizers EverywhereBUBBA® Expands Its Smart Ecosystem with New Connected ProductsCatch the Action Live at the MLF ICAST Cup, July 14 in Kissimmee, Florida

COLUMBIA, Mo. and BENTON, Ky., July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BUBBA®, recognized as the official scale used by Major League Fishing (MLF), and renowned for its innovative Smart Fish Scales and mobile fishing app, together with MLF, the world’s largest tournament-fishing organization, today announced the official consumer launch of SCORETRACKER® LIVE, making the same real-time tournament scoring technology used by MLF Bass Pro Tour anglers available to tournament organizers, competitors, and fans everywhere through the BUBBA® app. Originally introduced at ICAST 2025, and vetted through extensive beta testing and real-world tournament use, SCORETRACKER® LIVE is now available to consumers nationwide through the BUBBA® app.

SCORETRACKER® LIVE
For years, SCORETRACKER® has transformed professional bass fishing by allowing anglers to see every catch instantly reflected on a live leaderboard, fundamentally changing tournament strategy and competition. Now, BUBBA® takes that same thrill beyond the professional ranks, allowing anyone to organize, compete, and spectate using live tournament scoring. Tournament organizers can easily create and manage custom events through the BUBBA® app, competitors can follow their position in real time throughout the day, and fans can experience live-action tournaments from virtually anywhere. Compatible with BUBBA® Smart Fish Scales, SCORETRACKER® LIVE supports catch-weigh-release tournaments, traditional five-fish formats, big-fish competitions, and scholastic or neighborhood team events, creating a more connected and engaging experience for everyone involved. 

The BUBBA® app and Pro Series Smart Fish Scale have been used in more than 91,000 hours of live scoring and leaderboards for MLF events, including the Bass Pro Tour, making SCORETRACKER® LIVE the most extensively field-tested tournament scoring platform in competitive fishing. The result is a tournament platform that combines connected hardware, software, and live competition into one seamless experience.

Expanding the BUBBA® Ecosystem
The official launch of SCORETRACKER® LIVE marks another step in BUBBA’s expanding connected fishing ecosystem. At ICAST, BUBBA® is introducing the new BUBBA Pro Series Smart Bump Board, which integrates with the BUBBA® app to capture and record fish length, giving length-based tournaments more options to score competitor catches. BUBBA® will also showcase the new BUBBA Tournament Weigh Station, providing tournament organizers with a durable, professional-grade weigh-in solution when paired with any BUBBA® smart scale. Together with the BUBBA® Smart Fish Scale, the BUBBA® app, and SCORETRACKER® LIVE, these innovations create an integrated ecosystem that brings together the entire tournament fishing experience — connecting organizers, competitors, and fans through every stage of competition, from registration and scoring to live leaderboard updates and spectator engagement.

“I’ve fished tournaments for more than 40 years, and MLF’s SCORETRACKER® is one of the biggest changes I’ve seen in competitive fishing. It has transformed how anglers compete and how fans follow the action in real time. Recently, we hosted the Reese Big Bass Battle with nearly 500 anglers, becoming the first event to utilize the BUBBA® MLF SCORETRACKER® LIVE system and the new BUBBA Weigh-In Station. From registration and payouts to live leaderboards and event management, everything was managed in one place. More importantly, anglers and fans stayed engaged throughout the day as standings are updated instantly. SCORETRACKER® LIVE brings a new level of excitement, strategy, and professionalism to tournament fishing — whether it’s a major event or a local club tournament.” – Skeet Reese, MLF Pro Angler

SCORETRACKER® LIVE will make its official consumer debut on July 14 during the ICAST Cup presented by Major League Fishing at Big Toho Marina in Kissimmee, Florida. Competing teams will become the first consumers to experience the platform in live, catch-weigh-release, tournament competition while helping raise funds for Keep America Fishing. Throughout ICAST, attendees can also experience demonstrations of SCORETRACKER® LIVE, the BUBBA Smart Bump Board, and the BUBBA Tournament Weigh Station at Booth #5139. Additionally, MLF will host a SCORETRACKER® LIVE demonstration in Booth #4620 on July 16 starting at 4 p.m.

Beverly Hills Bed Shares Adjustable Air Bed Alternative Following Sleep Number Bankruptcy Filing

Published

on

By

Following Sleep Number’s Chapter 11 filing, consumers are comparing adjustable air bed alternatives, pricing, features, and long-term value.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Following Sleep Number’s recent Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, consumers across the United States are researching adjustable air bed alternatives and comparing product features, warranty coverage, and overall value before making a purchasing decision.

While Sleep Number has announced that it intends to continue operating during its court-supervised restructuring process, the filing has encouraged many shoppers to carefully evaluate their options before investing in a premium adjustable air mattress.

According to Beverly hills bed, an online retailer specializing in air adjustable sleep products since 2006, interest in air mattress alternatives has increased as consumers seek independent information about available products and manufacturers.

“Whenever a major company enters financial restructuring, it’s natural for consumers to research their options,” said a spokesperson for Beverly Hills Bed. “Shoppers today are comparing pricing, comparable features, and long-term value before investing in an adjustable air bed.”

Understanding Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

A Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing does not necessarily mean a company is going out of business. Instead, it allows a business to reorganize its finances while continuing normal operations under court supervision. Sleep Number has publicly stated that it expects to continue serving customers during the restructuring process.

Industry observers note that announcements like these often encourage consumers to spend more time researching competing products before making a purchase.

Why Consumers Are Comparing Adjustable Air Beds

Adjustable air mattresses continue to grow in popularity because they allow sleepers to customize firmness independently on each side of the bed.

According to Beverly Hills Bed, today’s shoppers are comparing several important factors, including:

#1 PricingFeaturesAir mattress buildAdjustable base compatibility

Many consumers are also researching how different manufacturers compare in features and pricing before making a final decision.

Adjustable Air Mattress Alternatives

As buyers explore the marketplace, many are comparing traditional brands with independent retailers that specialize in adjustable sleep products.

Beverly Hills Bed offers a collection of Adjustable air mattresses available in 10-inch, 12-inch, and 14-inch models featuring dual independent air chambers, wireless remotes, adjustable firmness, and compatibility with modern adjustable bases.

The company also publishes educational resources to help shoppers compare products, including its guide to 6 sleep number alternatives which explains top of the line air mattresses between companies.

Choosing the Right Adjustable Air Bed

Industry professionals recommend comparing more than just brand recognition when purchasing an adjustable air mattress.

Consumers should evaluate mattress construction, available comfort settings, warranty coverage, customer reviews, sleep trial policies, adjustable base compatibility, and long-term ownership costs.

For shoppers seeking adjustable bed customization, including lumbar back support, wall hugger and voice control features, the company’s 14″ air bed bundle offers the lowest pricing in the industry when bought with any unique adjustable bed frame.

“Consumers have more choices than ever before,” said the spokesperson. “The most important step is taking time to compare features, warranty coverage, and overall value so buyers can select the adjustable air bed that best meets their individual comfort needs.”

About Beverly Hills Bed

www.beverlyhillsbed.com specializes in adjustable beds, adjustable air mattresses, split queen adjustable beds, latex mattresses and RV air mattresses. Since 2006, the company has served customers throughout the United States by offering customizable sleep solutions, competitive pricing, and personalized customer support.
