Building a True Interactive Experience for Fans

If we take a moment to review milestone moments in the history of sports in the United States August 15th of 1951 will probably stand out as one of the most interactive experiences fans had the chance to participate in at the time. In that particular game, The St. Louis Browns played against the Philadelphia Athletics and Bill Veeck, the owner of the Browns, let the fans participate on the strategic decisions of the game on that day using printed posters offering the “Yes/No” option to help the team win. It was a fulfilling experience for the team since they managed to break a losing streak of 102 games and won with a score of 5-3.

Taking a cue from history

In the present day people like Sohrob Farudi, Grant Cohen, Ray Austin and Yann Kronberg take this historic precedent and decide to go with it by backing it up with modern day technology. These man with extensive background on tech development and sport fans at heart had come to the realization that the enjoyment of sports could be refreshed in a whole new way by giving fans a new way to interact with their teams, that’s why they developed FCFL a platform based on Blockchain technology where fans will have a direct influence on the decisions to manage a team before, during and after a game.

Building the interactivity

The team behind FCFL is looking to create a truly immersive experience for every fan of the platform. While they won’t have a say on proper coaching and technical strategy, they will have a say on the type of play done by the team at each turn. The quick-paced action comes with no half-times, no ads, and games that last the mandatory periods in under an hour. The other areas where fans will have a say are the following:

• Scouting the lineup for each game
Every fan wants his favorite team to have the best possible line-up before every match, using the FCFL platform they will have just that kind of opportunity. Fans will propose potential players for their teams by creating scouting pages where they will be able to register every bit of information about their suggestion such as height, weight, positions played, backstory and examples of their gaming techniques in the form of videos. If the option of an acting scout proves to be a popular choice he or she will be rewarded with FAN tokens. Fans will have the option to narrow down the selection to pick their desired team.

• Drafting the players
After selecting the best options for the team, fans get to pick who will be the ones making the initial line-up on each of the eight teams of the FCFL league. The choice will be made by casting a vote through the platform. The Blockchain decentralized log will create a registry in real-time that every fan will be able to audit.

• Transactions among fans and teammates
The ever-changing nature of an initial lineup present in the NFL is something that applies in the FCFL too. Injuries on the players or poor performance are a part of the trade. Fans will need to keep scouting for replacements to keep the line-up fresh and performing well. There will be options for trade-offs among fans who suggest a player as well as negotiations to sing new acquisitions. The game plan will also need to change as we adapt to the strengths of our new talents. Every single one of these transactions will be put up to a vote, and active scouts will be rewarded with additional FAN tokens that will offer more weight to their votes.

Fans also have a leading vote in many more aspects of the FCFL league such as the communal writing of the league’s rulebook, the tokenized rewards for social media interactions and the promotion of the league in any way or fashion.
