That "warming up" takes a while, I thought that it's already available because of that loading screen, but not.

It this some sort of a "gambling" site?

Build your team and dominate the competition! Earn money by winning contests, hosting tournaments and selling players for profit.
According to this, all those virtual contests and tournaments will happen within the server or site, please explain the "fairness" of this system.


Hi, it's fantasy sports not gambling. You can build a team from various players and compete against others for points based on real life sporting events. The fairness of the system comes from:
1. Data for sporting events comes from a trusted third party
2. We (First 11)  don't host any tournaments, users can host tournaments using smart contracts. They will be rewarded for this.
3. Teams and player transactions can be seen on the public chain for complete transparency

As for the "warming up" issue, we'll take a look into it. Thanks for bring it up  Smiley
That "warm it up thing" doesn't exist or it shows in to my browser.I don't have any problems on loading in the site.Timeclock as of this writing is already on 70days before into its operation. Been wondering at first if it would be a sort of gambling site since you haven't mention in the very first place or do made some clarification but now you have spoken the key ideas.Im already having questions on what would be the point for this thing to be created?Token values wont increase if you do certain win a tournament I'm quiet confused on how this actually works if this wont be a gambling thing. Having an idea on following crypto kitties concept or having a different niche specially FIFA would really make a buzz.

Would care to elaborate further more?


Sure. Each player you add to your team represents a player token. That token value is tied to the real life value of that player. So let's say you pick a no name striker from Belgium for example, and he turns out to be a star and scores a lot of points in the fantasy game, his demand and value will go up. We are making a limited number of tokens for each player which also affects the token value. These values are not determined by us but by a third party sport statistics provider based on various factors such as player salary and performance metrics. The marketplace will allow users to trade these player tokens similar to crypto kitties.
