Football

This project is a web application that allows users to compete in a college football matchup selection competition. Users pick matchups based on betting spreads, and the application tracks their performance throughout the season. Built with ASP.NET Core, Football provides an engaging platform for college football enthusiasts to test their knowledge and compete against friends.

Technologies Used

ESPN - Uses their API to get team information, schedule/matchups, and live game updates

Hangfire - Uses Hangfire Task Scheduler to manage when the week's matchups should be released, when they should lock prior to kickoff, and when points should be allocated to the users.

Showcase

Users are able to view all of the matchups for the week within a grid. 30 minutes prior to a game's kickoff the matchup will lock, no longer allowing users to make selections. When games are live, using the ESPN API, I am able to poll and grab information for the games, such as score, quarter, down & distance, and even field position.

Users are able to view all of the selections from all participants for the week quickly glance at how they are stacking against the competition.
