In Front of It All: The Design of Tomorrow's Sports Media Platform

Crucial. Vital. Breathtaking. The list goes on. For a startup attempting to transform the way millions of people interact with their favorite hobby in the digital space, product design is of the utmost importance. The idea can only be as good as it looks - form and function meld into user experience. The Scorum team knows this full well and has the design team in place to execute a clean interface that matches in beauty what our blockchain-powered economy executes in performance.

Scorum founder and UX/UI expert Andrei Filipovich leads the team with this ethos: “As we create Scorum, we follow a simple and straightforward goal: building a beautiful and functional product that fits into sport fans' daily lives. We adhere to a user-centered design approach and work in close collaboration with sports bloggers, journalists and analysts.”

Sports coverage has always been a visual experience and we know that the best sports media source of the future will have to pair intuitive data analytics with an eye-catching and visually enticing interface. But we don’t stop there.

Crunch the numbers in the Statistics Center

Sports stats are an ingrained part of the fan experience. Memories are laced with big-number performances and legacies across all sports are built on goals scored, home runs hit, and races won. We can’t talk sports without talking numbers, so Scorum’s stats center delivers data driven coverage on a whole new level. Avid soccer fans and bettors can keep tabs on multiple matches in real time!

Available for all fans to browse but especially useful to the writers on the blogging platform, the stats center will feature the latest updates on their favorite teams and athletes. What Scorum authors will truly appreciate though is the data visualizations that will allow them to present precise and visually appealing statistical analysis within their publications.

Breaking down past performances and presenting insightful predictions on upcoming matches and games are easily done with the latest sports data just a click away.

Take the field in Daily Fantasy Sports
