First Impression leaves me very doubtful, i understand you might have wanted to keep a clean layout but more than clean this is just empty. There should be something that encourages the user to sign up. A logo and a signup button i am afraid is not enough. At the bottom right there is a broken image. Anyway to try to help i signed up, the first dashboard page i a bit empty but i can understand this because there is only one game, The team page looks nice, i tried to select five user and it created an entry, i have never used one of this game, but shouldn't i be able to see/modify his entry? how? where? i did not find anything. Anyway good luck, i hope my feedback helps.


Hi duiker101, thanks for the feedback. The design is indeed very bare and some of the important functionality is missing (modifying entries is a big one). We will be scheduling games throughout the Euros and adding improvements each week. We hope that by the end of the competition it will be a fuller product. Good luck with your entries ;-)


I agree with duiker101, there's not much on the home page that encourages me to fill out the registration, especially because I don't know much about Rugby or soccer. While clicking around the site, I noticed that almost all of the pages from the footer are blank. I'm also confused how I can sign in with Facebook/Twitter, but I can't register with them.


First rule of browser games: Screenshots Screenshots Screenshots Screenshots. How are people supposed to get interested in your game if they have no idea what it is?
