SportsFix Introduces Its Digital Stadium that Combining the Exclusion of Live and Video on Demand Sports Content

Digital Sports Content Overview

  • There are all ready a lot of sports fans using mobile digital devices, sixty percent of smart phone and tablet owners "consume sports related content on their devices at least once a day." Since almost everyone owns at least one tablet or smart phone, that's a lot of eyeballs.
  • Most sports fans are all ready using social media and other digital outlets to find out about their favorite teams, athletes or events.
  • Fans love sharing their in-game reactions or analysis over social media, and many fans use the Internet to look up scores. Considering the amount of time sports fans are spending on these platforms, digital sports marketing is an ideal avenue for any brand.

What is The Digital Stadium

The Digital Stadium creates a token economy around the biggest Sports Events where fans can engage with their favorite clubs and sponsors powered by the SportsFix Token.

The Digital Stadium Marketing Engine (DSME)

The DSME is a tool set developed by SF, acts for each DS as a content management system harnessing the social media accounts of fans who attend games to unlock new tiers of the DS for better features. The DSME powers the game day passes, club growth model, and sponsorship model.

Market Strategy

SF will be employing a four pronged strategy around their Digital Stadium economy as seen below:
1. Game Day Passes
  • Fans can earn SFT initially from clubs and later from sponsors to redeem game day passes in return for doing specialized posts via the Game Day Pass marketing engine.
  • Seed tokens given to clubs will support reaching quickly critical mass to attract sponsors and advertisers.
  • The mechanics of how game day passes are distributed creates a sustainable growth loop of bringing new fans into the Digital Stadium via their social network feeds.
  • SportsFix will be able to convert a fanbase into a legion of evangelizing early adopters by creating a self marketing network effect.
2. CLub Growth Model
  • The club growth model is kicked off by getting the buy in of sports clubs/teams to officially endorse their digital (SuperFan) stadiums.
  • Clubs are provided with their own DSME allowing them to set up their own bounty prizes in SFT to nurture fan engagement.
  • Clubs can assign tasks and reward fans with bounty prizes that can be redeemed in their Club tokens for autographs, special player access events, and digital downloads.
    These tasks create ample opportunities for sports clubs to have direct 1 on 1 engagement opportunities with their fans.
3. Sponsorship Model
  • SportsFix's DS economy creates a unique opportunity for sponsors to “micro-sponsor” our DS or specific digital content for short-term periods (Season, Weekend, Match) at a fraction of the traditional sponsorship costs.
  • The DS economy allows for a sponsor to engage with a fan base by purchasing game day passes or deeply discounting them by paying for a portion of the tickets.
    This creates a new “fan and sponsor” relationship where sponsors can buy game day passes for fans to enjoy the game.
4. Micro-Advertising Model
  • The advertisers decide on the expenditure limits and only being charged by the ads that were shown.
  • Advertisements consist of both banner and video ads that could be tailored on when it should be displayed.
  • The deep integration Software Development Kit (SDK) allows advertisers to customise the advertisement experience along with Inline mechanism to offer and complete a transaction within the browser In-Game experience.
    Deep integration allows endless possibilities to enable a direct, impulse based In-Game Shopping experience.

Token Allocation

Finally

After SFT are issued, sponsors will be able to spend SFT in a number of creative ways that allows for different levels of engagement and influence in the digital stadium. This includes but not limited to:
• Logo placement on Game Day Pass
• Social media sharing (E.g. status update, shoutout, hashtag etc.)
• Naming rights to Digital Stadium
• Sponsored video
• Logo layered graphics around big moments
• Sponsoring of marketplace

  • This ecosystem will be powered by the SFT, a utility token based on the Ethereum blockchain.

The SWOT Analysis

SWOT analysis is a framework used to evaluate a project's competitive position by identifying its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Specifically, SWOT analysis is a foundational assessment model that measures what the project can and cannot do, and its potential opportunities and threats.

SportsFix SWOT Analysis

Finally

For every DS, a pledging period is defined within which all the user’s pledges must go through. Upon reaching the required number of pledging tokens within the pledging period, pledgers receive the viewing entitlement in the blockchain viewership ledger which are traceable by the owners. SF maintains a DRM system to create viewing entitlements. Users are granted with entitlements keys stored in a blockchain viewership ledger that represents their viewing right by which they are able to access/unlock the contents which can be viewed in the DS.

Sportsfix will Redefine the Sports Content Market

SF presents a revolutionary digital sports content ecosystem based on Blockchain technology; debundling and decentralising sports media rights, enforcing trust and immutable transparency via SF Tokens (SFT) and smart contracts built on the Ethereum network.

Sportsfix Target

Sportsfix vision is to redefine the sports content market by:-
  • Cutting out the middlemen
  • Connecting rights holders directly to fans through the SportsFix ecosystem.
    This provides new revenue streams to rights holders and SportsFix alike and nurture the very premise of what sports fans are seeking.
    Combined with blockchain technology, SF will secure identity, payments, user viewing rights and act as a revolutionary marketplace for all providers and consumers of sports.

Market Issues

  • Traditional TV is an antiquated model.
  • Arbitrage game by larger players that monopolize content.
  • Poor content discovery.
  • Aggregated price increases due to a convoluted system of international
  • No incentive for agents to be transparent about the pricing and process.
  • Fans end up with more content and channels than they really need
  • Rights holders sell rights of ALL clubs/teams in league format
  • Centralized media rights system.
  • Current revenue opportunities of clubs restricted by collective bargaining.
  • Unfair/ inequality of revenue re-distribution to clubs/ teams.
  • Displaced fans worldwide largely cannot access and watch their favourite teams/ leagues/events
  • Financial constraints for (smaller) sports/leagues/clubs to effectively develop a coherent digital strategy to reach those fans.
  • Little to No direct (two-way) communication between content creators and fans.
  • Traditional Broadcasters rely on antiquated viewing measurement systems.
  • Increasing restrictions and regulations of traditional/ major distribution platforms in their user data sharing willingness and capabilities.
  • Lack of personalization - One-size-fit-all approach by traditional distribution platforms.

Sportsfix Solutions

  • Through our Digital Stadium (DS) concept, fans can connect with their favourite team and with each other and vote for their favourite team’s sports content. This creates a new consumption model for sports content that is decentralized, affordable, and accessible.
  • Rights holders can disintermediate their content from middle man markups by direct delivery of their Live games via SF DS in smaller digital packages directly to their fans’ smartphones.
    The mass debundling can be accelerated and made transparent by blockchain coded smart contracts that will allow for new subscription models. The creation of SFT accelerates the trend of “debundling” of content by creating a powerful internal self marketing network effect for clubs to harness, through their fans building their own DS token ecosystems.
  • SF acquires the legal live streaming rights for sports content at the league level, unbundle the content to individual games or smaller highly personalized and contextualized digital content items. SF will then create a new token economy based on actual consumption of sports content that will create 1-1 engagement opportunities with sports clubs/ rights holders and fans through the exchanging of SFT.
  • A sophisticated and transparent data analytics platform in connection with SF DS economy will allow us to serve displaced fans by allowing them to request, vote and pledge for SF catalogue of international content rights.
    SF token economy unlocks new opportunities where rights holders (Federations/Leagues/Teams) can tokenize their Live game/event rights and create a Digital Stadium where this ecosystem can flourish between fans and sport. Rights holders can empower and leverage their fan bases as their best marketers through the use of our SFT to connect with their displaced fans. The tokenization of sports content unlocks a new model of content distribution that is decentralized and universally more accessible.
  • By creating a token economy around sports content, fans go from a passive role to an active and engaged role. The SFT wallet allows for each fan to be identified and engaged individually. This creates new opportunities that never existed in the traditional broadcasting model. Clubs can now individually identify, engage, and reward fans through a number of new interaction opportunities through the use of the SFT. SF extensive data analytics platform (SF Analytics) will deliver highly personalized, contextualized and localized content for the fans to enjoy.

SportsFix Digital Stadium

The SportsFix Digital Stadium is the ultimate fan experience combining the excitement of live and Video on Demand (VOD) sports content with the power of social media, gamification, predictions, fantasy leagues and e-commerce all driven by the SFT. It allows fans to:
  • Pledge and vote for their favourite content.
  • Control their own experience by only paying for their preferred content.
  • Engage directly with their favourite clubs.
  • Simulate live stadium experience by interacting with other fans within the DS.

Token Flow

Token Allocation

Roadmap

Finally

With the ICO, SF will enhance user experience to the OTT platform. Fans will be able to participate and engage with their fellow fans, favourite leagues and clubs while using SFT as a mode of payment throughout the platform.
