The Yardstick, Giving Football Fans Their Voice
Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) October 16, 2007 -- TheFanYard.com, launched in September 2007, has witnessed explosive growth during the first month of football action, along with the "Yardstick" application accurately predicting the outcome of numerous NFL and NCAA football games.
The Yardstick is a revolutionary application, which allows fans of the game to make their predictions on which team will win the game and by how many points. The Yardstick is user-generated information, which some users have commented as being the greatest barometer for professional and collegiate football.
"We have seen our users accurately predict the outcome of games at a rate of 64.8 percent," stated Rick Perreault, TheFanYard.com Founder. "With a statistic this high, we feel that the general public has a 'win percentage' higher than many professionals."
Within the first month of action, TheFanYard.com has seen the user base increase by 25 percent week-to-week, with increased users coming on-board as new applications are added weekly. One of the newest and most successful applications has been the referral system and the posting areas. The posting area has allowed fans to post and debate picks, along with showing support for their team, state and school.
"While our network continues to grow at this rate, we are seeing the 'Yardstick' accurately predicting more and more games on a weekly basis," continued Perreault. "Football fans remain among the most educated of all major sports and make predictions based on facts and figures rather than emotion."
