NEWTON, Mass. Your Call Football (YCF), the gaming technology startup behind the innovative, fan-controlled, live play-calling game, today announced that exposure from its inaugural season landed YCF players in NFL mini camps and on NFL and CFL rosters.
Somewhere out there are some diehard football fans who may be able to take credit for B.J. Daniels signing with the CFL’s Saskatchewan Roughriders. For the past four weeks, the 28-year-old quarterback played Your Call Football, where fan balloting decides which plays are going to be run. Every play of every game is determined by a vote.
Questioning coaches' decisions is an integral part of any football fan's life ー we all know we could do better. Now, a new football league is giving us a shot, by crowd sourcing the play-calling in live football games. "Your Call Football" lets viewers choose their favorite of three pre-selected plays uploaded to an app by a figure-head coach on the sideline of a real game in progress. The league employs players who are trying to land a roster spot on NFL teams, and the coaches are NFL alumnae.
Your Call Football is a revolutionary new gaming app based on real football, with real players and coaches, and real user control. Tonight they’ll kick off the third and final game of their inaugural testing season, as users around the world play via Your Call’s livestream app, dialing up offensive plays from the comfort of their own homes for teams to execute on the field.
Your Call Football is on a mission to let football fanatics do more than just watch games: It lets them control the action from an app-based game.
VERO BEACH — Finally, they picked it. On the Your Call Football app, it’s simply titled, “Pass: WR PASS TO QB.” I had picked the play every time the option was given during Thursday’s night’s game at Historic Dodgertown, but this was the first time the other fans playing the game agreed with me.
Montgomery native KD Humphries is part of a new pro football league that feeds into a fan’s belief that he or she knows more than the coaches. Your Call Football gives fans an opportunity to call plays for cash prizes. The games are played at Historic Dodgertown in Vero Beach, Florida, but you don’t have to be there to play.
If you listen to postgame radio call-in shows, it is clear many football fans believe they would do a better job calling plays than the coaches of their favorite teams. Now, thanks to 21st Century technology and a new start-up football concern, fans can walk their talk by calling the plays in real-live football games.
On July 13, 1980, the Cincinnati Enquirer reported on the big news the previous night: Fans used cable boxes tethered to their TVs to call the offensive and defensive plays of a semi-professional football game between the Columbus (Ohio) Metros and the Racine (Wisconsin) Gladiators.
