Kent Jordan, Co-Founder: "The interaction with the application is quite simple, and it creates a really great platform for engaging with friends and other fans during the live sporting events", says Kent Jordan, Co-Founder od KlickSports. "After joining online, selecting your favorite teams, and confirming your cell number you click on the games you want to play on the game schedule posted on the website. You are prompted to submit answers to two ‘pre-game’ questions before every game. Like Twitter, fans follow fans, and your answers are automatically posted on the ‘micro-blog’ on the home page of anyone ‘following’ you. That way they know which games you are playing that day and can join in."
"When the live games start you receive in-game questions via text message and you get scored and ranked with the other players during the game via text as well. As an option, fans can also play the games with the instant messaging platform of their choice (Yahoo, MSN, AIM, Gtalk) and can also add their Twitter account to automatically post their predictions to their Twitter ‘followers’. Leader boards with each game winner and all of the rankings are provided online after every game and users can create their own leagues for their favorite teams and invite their friends and fellow fans to play along and compete."
"For extra motivation the main challenge competitions that we provide offer cool prizes like big screen TV's or a PS3, iPods, or team sweatshirts- and many women have won some of our top prizes so watch out guys!"
