Fan Controlled Football: The future of sports is here.

By Joshua LIN March 3, 2021

The Fan Controlled Football (FCF) is a new indoor American football league that is recently established and is currently in its first season.

As its name suggests, the FCF puts the play decisions in the hands of fans. The decision making extends beyond the match to cover even rules changes, jersey designs and team drafts.

Essentially, the FCF is like playing football manager or fantasy football but cooler! The decisions voted by fans have a direct impact on game outcomes and more.

How it works:

To quickly summarise, Fan Controlled Football is a new fast-paced action football game with slightly different rules. It’s 7v7 football, and is played in an indoor 50-yard field.

There are two 20-minute halves with a running clock, which only stops if it fulfills any of the 10 conditions listed in the official rulebook. The break between the halves is limited to a maximum of 6-minutes. This is to try ensure that the entire game keeps to a maximum of 1 hour.

To learn more about the rules, you may refer to the official rulebook:

How do Fans Participate:

To get started, fans can log on to fcf.io to register an account. Upon registration, fans will be required to pick a team. Do note that fans cannot change teams mid-way through as bandwagon fans are discouraged.

As such, it’s probably a good idea to browse their gallery of videos on twitch or the news page prior to selecting a team.

Once you’ve picked a team and have logged into your account, you may browse the list of outstanding items that require your attention and votes. This is truly a league where the voice of the fans is most important.

Gameday happens on Saturdays at 9 am onwards and is streamed live on Twitch. During the live game, on Twitch and in the FCF app you’ll see Run or Pass when your team is on offense. Pick one, and you’ll see four diagramed play options. Lock in your favourite, get notified which play won the vote, and watch the play unfold on the field in real-time. It’s not magic, but it’s pretty damn close.

In addition to being engaged through voting, the FCF also offers “Madden view” from a drone, live stream helmet cams and mics on the players and 180 degree VR cams all over the field. This is truly the future of sports and fan engagement.

Final Thoughts

Despite failures of building football leagues outside of the NFL as seen in Alliance of American Football and the XFL, we believe that the FCF has the ingredients required to make it big.

We look forward to having more team selection and fiercer competition in the coming seasons. We also hope to see such an approach in other sports in the near future!

    AliPrice, a must-have browser extension for online shopping.

    PriceShop - AliPrice Browser Extension

    What started as a huge annual e-commerce sale on singles day 11.11 has now become a monthly affair. E-commerce giants today like Shopee and Lazada works hard to give you a reason to shop literally every month by introducing 3.3, 4.4, 5.5 sales days.

    With sales happening almost every month, it can be quite challenging to determine when are prices actually at their lowest. Are the prices on the upcoming 3.3 sales lower or higher than last year’s 11.11 sales?

    To tackle this problem, shoppers can download AliPrice browser extension.

    What is AliPrice?

    AliPrice is a browser extension that is available for Google Chrome and Firefox. It allows shoppers to review the price history of a selected item on Shopee or Lazada.

    This is a great way for you to check whether a particular product’s pricing is at its all-time low prior to making a purchase. AliPrice allows shoppers to track as far back as 1 year.

    It is important to note that AliPrice does not work for products with varying models and prices. Take an iPhone 12 for example, the prices vary depending on the memory capacity of 64GB/128GB/256GB. In this scenario, AliPrice will only reflect the price changes based on the highest cost model.

    Additional AliPrice Feature:

    • Track Price Changes

    Shoppers can select Track price to receive a notification when there is a price drop for a product being tracked. This is great for products that are currently selling at a higher price but has historically been sold at a lower price.

    All tracked items will appear in the browser plugin under the LATEST tab. Once there is a price drop, the item will then appear under the PRICE DROPPED tab. With this, you don’t have to constantly visit the site to keep updated with price changes.

    Final Thoughts

    Although not perfect, we believe that AliPrice is a must-have browser extension for all online shoppers. This will definitely help shoppers make more informed choice when making a purchase.

    Lastly, for immediate purchases, shoppers can always head over to my.priceshop.com to find the current lowest prices for electronic products.
