 * Hi Antoine,
 * I was curious as to whether or not you feel your plug-in/code might be adaptable
   to **American Football** if you are familiar with American football at all ..
   and if so any suggestions you might have to making the necessary changes to your
   plug-in and where to start … ? feasibility? difficulty?
 * I’ve attempted to draw some preliminary parallels but initially it seems it may
   not be possible …
    I’m working on an NFL draft website at the moment … my partner
   is the coder and I am business rules … the 4 base metaphors I’m reviewing are
   teams and team players(the draft prospects) and fantasy football players(fans)
   and betting(for prizes etc) – there would be a point system linked to measure
   the degree of correctness of draft picks which could be equated to matches … 
   thus allowing for prizes to be awarded to the most accurate estimators … best!

 * Hi,
    There are a couple of users that already use the plugin for NFL. Main problem
   is the prediction of the result. In NFL games the outcome can be hard to guess.
   There are several solutions for this: change the prediction to a form where players
   click the team that wins and only give points for the correct ‘pick’. I have 
   some jQuery code that can do this for the standard form (it’s also somewhere 
   on this forum). Another way I have seen, is let players just fill in ones and
   zeroes. One for the winning team and zero for the losing team. Give so-called
   toto points to them. And if they feel lucky, they may also try to guess the exact
   outcome for the full points.
 * HTH.

   Thanks AntoineH – first thks much for the speedy response!! it’s actually a very
   different workflow … 32 teams each pick a player from a pool which constitutes
   a draft round …
 * a “match” would be a unique team-player combination
 * the point system could be used to measure the relative success of an individual
   or group making(matching) the selection of player to team …
 * I thought portions of this app (mysql db,php, js) and (teams,matches,groups, 
   venues etc) might be reengineered to accommodate that morph 😉 while retaining
   the point system to measure relative success and also storing the data on a _per
   user_ basis
 * I may be _overly-imaginative_ however …;-) since I’m not a php/js programmer 
   and it might be easier building it from scratch …-

 * I don’t think I completely understand your goal. But if you have a coder in your
   team, he will certainly be able to determine if he can use the plugin.
 * Should warn you, though, I am not a coder. So your partner may very well conclude
   that the plugin is crap and unusable 🙂
