Being a Fanship® Member allows you the privilege to vote for your favorite teams before and during the game. Fanship® is the next evolutionary step in fan engagement just like Fantasy sports and On-Line betting have been so evolutionary, with before the game votes actually resulting in actions to be taken by your favorite team.
Before the game, Fanship® Members can vote on which uniform the team will wear for the next game, and the team wears the uniform selected by the Fanship® Members.
During the game there will be opportunities to vote to match your situational game knowledge with that of the coaches. Votes will be and compared against what the coach actually selected in that situation. Scores will be tabulated and compared against the coach’s decisions and how Fanship® Members scored amongst themselves. For example:
Football – It is 4th and 1 yard to go on the opposing team’s 35 yard line. There is 1:32 left in the game, your team is winning by 3 points. The other team has no timeouts left. Does the coach:
Hockey – The game goes to a Shoot-Out. Fanship® Members vote for who they think the coach will select in each round of the Shoot-out.
Baseball – It is the 7th inning, your team’s starting pitcher has thrown 112 pitches and your team is winning 1-0, the opposing team has a runner on second base with 1 out. The pitcher is a righty and the next batter is a lefty. Does the coach make a pitching change to a left-handed pitcher?
Basketball – There is 12 seconds left in the game your team is trailing by 1 point. Your team called timeout to set up the play for the final shot. Which player did the coach select to take the final shot to win the game?
