Quarterbapp Relevance aware Sports App

Abstract

Quarterbapp is a National Football League (NFL) and Major League Baseball (MLB) sports app for Android which delivers news plus score updates of your favorite team, plus teams relevant to it. It is built around a novel, relevancy calculation algorithm which enhances your sportsfollowing experience in a way no other competing app can offer! Current sports apps force you to select all your favorite teams onebyone in a very rigid manner. News and score updates of only your chosen teams are delivered to you. There is no easy way of staying updated with teams relevant to your teams in a smarter, more dynamic way. Our relevancy calculation algorithm uses a mix of data including score history, rivalry, and standings positions to determine relevant teams. The overall system is designed so it can work with other similarly structured sports like Major League Soccer (MLS), and National Hockey League (NHL). With our app, you only need to select your supported team, our system does the rest. It is based on our philosophy of using software to take maximum cognitive load off sport enthusiasts.
