Launching Original STEEM Football Challenge | Weekly Battle of Gamers

The Steem ecosystem has come a long way in connecting us across the world, building new connections/friends, exposing one to the traditions of other parts of the world, and so on. We can utilize this medium as well to have fun together through games as we strengthen our relationships. I'm launching a challenge today.

We have been seeing a lot of contests/challenges in the ecosystem over time and undoubtedly, many of them are truly creative, interesting, educative, and challenging as well, I run some of those too. Over time, I have been thinking of an event that would be more original enough where users battle each other to see an instant result and that's exactly what led to this innovation.

A football game would be the first thing we would be experimenting with, I believe many lovers of football would love this initiative. I am launching Steem Football Challenge where users with the team they manage in their football games battle against each other to become champions weekly. As such no betting (it can be modified in the future), no guessing, and no predictions... It's your ability to win a match against other players that determines your victory in the challenge.

• We are using DLS22 for this challenge. Our players are encouraged to have it on their mobile.

• Users would have to register their teams into the challenge through the comment section highlighting their interest to participate and their team names on DLS22 (in addition, invite 2 random friends they might be interested).

• At the moment, it's a weekend game and it's going to be knockout.

• Teams would be paired randomly (we would select from pots) to play matches based on schedules.

• The game ends in a day (within 1hr), further pairing to get the top winners would be done after each match (from each group).

• A unique match code would be entered at the same time by two players so that they can begin their match and results would be reported on our Discord channel after each match.

• The next games come up on 26th of November at 14:45 UTC (it won't affect the World Cup games).

• Declaring intention for playing in the weekend game ends 23:59 every Friday.

• There is a walkover as such an unavailable player automatically losses the match and the opponent takes a 3-0 win. Screenshots of each result/occurrence are taken at the end of each match.

• The waiting time for an unavailable player would only be 3 minutes, it would be great if players set aside that time to enjoy the game with friends.

• Ensure your mobile device is running quite well (at least 4GB RAM) and you have a good Internet connection. These things affect match greatly, pay attention to it.

• 10 SP would be shared in the proportion 5, 3 & 2 SP for the top 3 winners in the challenge.

• Results would be announced later when the game has ended. And participants for the upcoming week would drop their entries (intention to participate).

Note that: We are looking forward to starting a League in this challenge but it all depends on the turn up in this early phase of the challenge. You should join the Discord server, more guidelines would be shared over there.

In conclusion, our first game in this new challenge starts this weekend and we look forward to having a good number for the start as we expect more adoption subsequently. It would be a huge one for football lovers and gamers on Steemit, I urge you to be a part of this. Good luck, friends.
