It has been a long time since our last post and we have build a lot since then.

Our next game will be related to the NFL. Although the season has already started, our plan is to launch in mid-october. We are on track and most of the roadmap checkpoints are being completed.

A few weeks ago, on a sports conference, talking with people at the venue one guy defined our new game as a mix between sports prediction and fantasy. Although it is not so accurate, it is probably the easiest way to label it.

Let's move to our beautiful game!

Why NFL?

We took a month to decide which was going to be the following game. Our team still small and unfortunately we cannot build many games simultaneously (hopefully we will by 2019). We were between NFL, Soccer and e-sports.

As we are soccer fans, I have to be honest. It was our first option. But, as our first game was soccer related, we spoke with some of our users and some friends and we finally decide NFL. American football is one of the most popular sports and it only lasts from September to December (season). It was the perfect time for it.

Still Cryptocup as the game name? We thought Cryptocup was going to be a one time project and it was the perfect name for the World Cup. As people enjoyed playing the game, we decided to keep working on it.

For this time, we are building the entire page again (you can check the World Cup page here). For 2019, we might name each tournament differently and Cryptocup will stay as the main webpage to check all the available games.

Game Logic

There will be 3 different tournaments during the season. We are still looking for a catchy name for each tournament (we don't want to call it yellow, green or blue tournament). If you have any funny suggestion, please drop us an email (hello@cryptocup.io).

1st Tournament includes Weeks 9, 10, 11

2nd Tournament includes Weeks 12,13,14

3rd Tournament includes Weeks 15,16,17

Each tournament includes 20 matches to be predicted (20 matches picked from the 3 weekdays).

There will be 3 "star" matches.

How do I earn points?

Correct winning team +5

Correct winning team (star match) +2 (+5) = +7

Correct number of touchdowns + 4

Extra stat to predict +2 (some matches will ask you for an extra prediction such as "safety", "fumbles", "sacks", etc)

Over-Under +1 (predict if the total number of points is over or under XX)

Bonus points +6 (there will be 6 bonus points)

Here's an example of one of the 20th match prediction

We will then build a unique tournament for the playoffs which is already in process. But let's keep that one for a new post in the future.

We hope you will like this new game. It should be ready on Ropsten or Rinkeby the 1st-2nd October. Please, let us know any suggestion or anything you would like to add or change to consider it.
