I had a pet project working on similar idea back in 2020 but abandoned it (was using onchain only). You hit most of my design ideas (no account needed, instead live square reservation, etc).

Couple of questions (only because I'm interested),

  • what are you using as the 'oracle' for scores? Just manually keeping track or are you using an online sports info service?
  • when a card fills up are you auto-generating a new card?
  • how will you deal with incomplete cards? will the house "purchase" them?
  • whats your revenue model? txn fees? (or is the it potential winnings from house "purchased" squares)?

  • Unfortunately, this is a trusted service for now. I'm the oracle and payer. My reputation is the collateral (I'm the CTO of scarce.city, doxxed, etc.).
  • I've had trouble filling up cards, tbh, so no auto-generation (YET!)
  • Yep, I purchase them
  • I do it for the love of the game. No revenue model. No fees. If it takes off and gets popular, I'll re-visit this decision.

I should add, I'll be making March Madness brackets after the Super Bowl so more to come!

Totally reasonable choices.

If it gets busy and you want a partner, let me know....

What's your specialty? What do you do? Etc.

It'd help me know for partnership opps. I'm always looking to jam on things with others.

Essentially sysadmin things.

Linux (rhel + fedora + bootc), containers, ansible, gitops, python, etc

I'd also be willing to invest depending on amounts.
