After a successful inaugural three-game series last May, Your Call Football is raising the bar for its second year. The league, which allows fans to call plays through a mobile app, will play a second series of games starting next month and is extending its business model with licensing opportunities for its patented live play-calling technology both in the sports and entertainment space.
With Merril Hoge and Solomon Wilcots serving as head coaches, Your Call Football will be played on four consecutive Monday nights beginning Feb. 25 in Jacksonville, Fla.
My own attention, however, is on Your Call Football. YCF is a football fix in the late spring that fans can turn to with a one-of-a-kind twist: Fans call the plays.
NEWTON, Mass. Your Call Football (YCF), the gaming technology startup behind the innovative, fan-controlled, live play-calling game, successfully integrated its advanced technology with high-caliber football, quality production and enthusiastic fans during its inaugural season.
When watching football do you often catch yourself saying that’s a horrible play call by a coach? Do you think you could have chosen a better play for your team to run? Until Thursday, May 3, 2018, the only way a fan could choose a play for his or her team to execute was on video games like Madden. All of that changed when 92 football players stepped on to a football field at Historic Dodgertown in Vero Beach, FL to compete in the inaugural game of the new football league, Your Call Football.
On May 3, Your Call Football debuted its play calling app for the first time in a live game. Two teams named Power and Grit, composed of former players from heavyweight programs like Alabama, Notre Dame, and USC, squared off against each other at Historic Dodgertown, a multi-sport facility in Vero Beach, Florida.
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.
