Blitzpoll

A browser application to gather and display live opinions and emotions during football matches. Users are promted to give their opinion on a number of questions throughout the game, related to an on-pitch event, each to be answered within a couple of minutes.

A running prototype will be tested during the Champions League Final 2014 between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

Examples of questions: - Who do you think will win the game? - Do you think the game will go into overtime? - Was this really a penalty-worthy foul? - Did player X deserve to be sent off? - How do you like player Y's performance today?

Before answering the first question, the user is prompted to enter which team s/he supports. This information is then used in the data visualisation to differenciate between answers from supporters of team A and team B.

- One question type - One visualisation type - Editors can enter and push questions - Questions have a countdown, after which they are closed (no more votes accepted) - Users can answer questions and see results - Overview of all results (open, closed)

The frontend has two views: Vote and view.

Vote - List of open questions ordered by recency (latest question on top) For each question: - Question - Countdown - Voting options - Result visualisation

View - List of all visualisations of the current game ordered by recency (latest question on top)

(Archive) - Link to a list of all games, latest on top

- More question and visualisation types - embeddable visualisations (for match coverage) - generalise for use with any sports that has two opponents (boxing, tennis, basketball, baseball, …) - show upcoming games in the list, let users answer questions before the game starts
