RankingBall - Blockchains Platform for Fantasy Sport
Sports broadcasts are a strange thing. Well, two teams of 11 people try to find out who runs faster, kicks the ball harder and better moves tactically across the field. What is interesting about this? But hundreds of millions of people watch as 22 players kick a ball around the field and really worry about their team and sometimes even injure those who are worried about other 11 players.
It is easy to increase the joy of victories and the bitterness of defeats of your favorite team - just bet on the outcome of the game. And now the game is much more interesting to watch - because a viewer in a way becomes a player.
Unfortunately, cash bets on the outcome of sports are not much different from the lottery or roulette. But there is a way to bet on sports, using your skills, not just luck. This is Fantasy Sport.
Imaginary Games
The essence of the following, a player in Fantasy Sport (let's call him "manager") creates an imaginary team of real professional players (players, hockey players and so on). The resulting virtual team of players, for example, gets points for the actions of the players in it, made by players in real matches. For football, these are goals scored, assisting in scoring goals and so on. Restrictions are introduced, so the manager cannot hire full team of star players, for example, the total salary of players should not exceed a certain amount.
Everyone can become such a manager, create a team and compete with other managers, whose team will score more points - wins. Points depend on players selected. Thus, if the betting on the outcome of the match is similar to the roulette, then Fantasy Sport is more like poker.
Fantasy Sport is popular - 65 million players and 26 billion dollars of turnover (just like poker, imaginary sport is much more interesting if real money is involved).
It is played on special portals, where everything is automated. And how can you improve the technology? That's right - add blockchain to it.

Does your country's legislation forbid gambling for money? On the RankingBall platform, there is no real money, only tokens. And even using of famous cryptocurrencies isn't necessary - two types of domestic currency are involved in platform's work.
RBG (RankingBall Gold) - ERC20-compliant token on the Ethereum blockchain, which has the role similar to that of premium currency in modern free-to-play games. But unlike such currency, RBG can be not only bought, but also sold for real money. RBG will also be available for free, as a prize for winning one of the competitions.
RGS (RankingBall Silver) is an internal game currency, a small amount of which each player will receive at registration, and will receive some for a successful game.
The most important feature of the project will be the opportunity to not limit yourself to classical sports. You can create teams for Dota 2, LoL, CS GO and other popular cybersport games.
