dev diary #73 | SimFBA Bowl Games and Sponsorships

[TuscanSota]

Hey everyone,

 

In today’s dev diary, we want to introduce a new feature that we think you’ll love. We’re excited to announce Bowl Sponsorships for SimFBA bowl games.

 

Bowl Game Sponsors:

College Football Bowl Games are games featuring the best teams this season. While the Playoff Bowl Games are reserved for specific reasons, bowl games outside of the Playoffs are to be opened for Sponsorship and location.

 

Outside of the expected playoff games, there are 28 Bowl games that will be played between eligible non-playoff bowl-qualifying teams.

 

Who can Qualify?

A user that has produced at least four pieces of media content over the season is eligible for declaring the sponsor of a bowl game.

 

A user that has produced at least six pieces of media content over the season is eligible for the above and selecting the game’s location.

 

A user that has produced at least eight pieces of media content over the season is eligible for

all of the above and will help in the selection of the two team’s when it comes to bowl nomination.
