The Steemit Fantasy League Roadmap Draft
What is the Steemit Fantasy League?
I will put it short. Fantasy Premier League is a game with more than five million players based on the English Premier League. The game is about picking the players that you think will perform during match week. Amongst these five million, there are a couple of steemit users. Therefore @acidyo decided to create a Steemit League within the official game. That enabled Steemit users to compete against each other. With two posts pr. week, written mostly by me, we are constantly growing the prize pool. The prize pool is only based on the rewards from these posts. The Steemit League only has 83 players competing. The value is massive, as the prize pool will continue to grow until the end of the season, and the number of players being so low.
The Prize Pool Structure
Acidyo has made a very fair prize pool structure rewarding almost half of the contestants. It looks like this, if the prize pool is at 1k STEEM:
1st place: 300 STEEM
2nd place: 150 STEEM
3rd place: 100 STEEM
4th-10th place: 30 STEEM each
11th-23rd place: 10 STEEM each
24th-48th place: 5 STEEM each
As we are only one third through the game, there's plenty of time for it to grow. My personal goal is to make the first place win 1.000 STEEM by the end of the game. It's possible.
Why Are We Doing This?
Mainly because we enjoy it. But also to prove the massive potential of steemit and STEEM. By user engagement, the technology of the STEEM blockchain we want to beat the official game. The official game has, as written, more than five million players. We want to, by the end of the season, have a greater prize pool than the official game. If we do so, the potential to attract thousands of users is massive. That leads me to the "roadmap".
Roadmap
Let's imagine the prizepool ends at 3.000 STEEM, and at the current prize of STEEM that would mean roughly 3.000 dollars. Only made by upvotes, resteem, etc. Therefore we want to take advantage of that. Take a look:
Now-May 2018
- Continue to grow prize pool with two post pr. week.
- Constantly listen to feedback from users.
March-May 2018
- Find and "hire" talented writers to write for us for the new season.
- Find and "hire" experienced marketing users to help us prepare a marketing campaign.
- Transfer STEEM to all winners.
- Find sponsors (users, companies etc)
May 2018 - July 2018
- Work on marketing campaign will begin.
July 2018 - August 2018
- The 2018 Steemit Fantasy League is created.
- The marketing campaign will launch a few days/weeks prior to the creation of the league.
August 2018 - End of season
- The Official Premer League Fantasy game will scratch their bald head and wonder how a fucking social media took over the whole fantasy game.
Inputs, Ideas, etc?
We are stronger and better together, and therefore we would love to hear your ideas, critic and what more on this roadmap.
I love this kind of contest but I found out too late! In Italy it's called "Fantacalcio" and always play it before I got married and my baby was born.
Maybe this'd be a good time to go back to playing it with steemit friends!
Sure. Take part in the prediction for this match week, and next year you can take part in the full game ;)
Yeah, always play weekly contest since I found out! :-)
I resteemed this post.. The more people we will have, the more fun it will be!
I appreciate your support :)
It's going to be exciting to see how many more participants will join next season! I already have a lot of IRL friends who've signed up for Steem just to join it. ^^
Looking forward to automate the prediction guesses as well as it really takes some time to do so manually nowadays. :D
Sounds good! I have some friends who does a Premier League podcast, and hopefully we can get a shout out there :). I can't wait. It will all be improved!
@arsenal49 I think this post is great because it explains a bit what the contest is about. Many people do not understand what this league is about or what football is, you can see when they ask if they can join the league at this stage of the tournament when the difference between a new user and the first would be about 500 points which are very difficult or better said impossible to reach. Congratulations for this kind of initiative and for the plans you have prepared for the future. Long live football!
Great idea! We have been playing in the Fantasy League for many years, it will be great to play the SFL next season.
Too bad for me I only came across this challenge a couple of weeks ago. Just wondering, is there anyway I can plug my FPL team into this year's Steemit League? Cheers.
The league is closed, but you can always take part in the predictions :)
NP, thanks!
Ok finally had understand what's the purpose and what is meaning of this price pool. And how does it works
Well sir I have to ask something that if I want to play should I join at this middle of the game
I'm sorry, but you can't join. You can always take part in the prediction game, just follow acidyo :)
Okkk sir ... No problem better luck next time.
I've joined Steemit fairly recently but have been playing Fantasy PL for a few years. Looking forward to joining next season!
The prediction game that @acidyo does is good for engagement, but maybe's there's more that can be done. Here's an idea for next year's World Cup- a sweepstake. Everyone who wants to enter pays a certain amount of Steem, and all are randomly assigned a country. Whoever wins takes the pot, or a portion of it.
Awesome! How is your team doing? How many points?
Not too bad, on 679 points at the minute. Shifted out Salah and Morata at the wrong times though which cost a few points. I edited my comment above as I had an idea about a sweepstake game for the World Cup.
That would have put you in 5th position :) Ehm...I don't like the idea as you're randomly picked a country, so it's only based on luck. But I hope we can do something during the world cup.
great kind of contest but is too late and waiting for next season. great post.
great idea!
Really nice & smart post....!!...I like it.👌
