History edit
In 1984 childhood friends (Bobby Blues) Bob Masewicz and Bill La Rue were dared to enter a talent competition at Big Al's restaurant and Bar in La Crosse, WI.
Sensing the high demand for entertainers in sports venues during the early 1990s, Bob and Bill founded B&B entertainment (now Total Sports Entertainment). The agency focused on providing sports entertainers to companies worldwide.
At the start of the new millennium, Bob Masewicz developed Total Sports Entertainment. In 2002, Bob joined the Altoona Curve Baseball baseball team as their Director of Entertainment/Promotions.
TSE GameTime ScriptPRO was developed and first released in 2006. The TSE suite of software for the event management sector has grown to include a CRM integrated directly to ScriptPRO. SponsorPRO is designed to assist a staff in selling and managing their inventory of sponsorships.
