Saying Goodbye to the Score Feed: The Crowd Card has a New Home
Last month I added the Score Feed to the Crowd Card app. In the Score Feed, users could navigate to any fight on any card to see round-by-round scoring statistics, aggregated across all users on the app. This month, I’m deleting the Score Feed.
Well, not entirely. I created Crowd Card, not just to allow individual fans to score fights, but to offer a crowdsourcing solution to the broken judging system in combat sports. I have no intention of removing the aggregated scorecard (i.e., the Crowd Card) from the app - it’s the entire reason I built the app. The Score Feed was just my initial shot at offering a clean view of aggregated scoring data...but it failed.
Users found the Score Feed confusing - it looked exactly like the tabs in the app that are used to submit individual scores. They would too easily find themselves in the Score Feed wondering why they were unable to score rounds. Or, after scoring a round, would have to navigate to an entirely separate tab to see aggregated scoring data for the same round, only to have to navigate back to the My Events tab to score the next round. That’s too many unnecessary clicks. Too much time wasted on Crowd Card instead of shit posting on X. Yuck.
So, with the Score Feed removed, where will the “Crowd Card” live? When in doubt, simplify. You can now access the aggregated scoring data directly from the same page you use to score each fight. On each fight page, you can quickly navigate between My Card (your individual scores) and Crowd Card (the same aggregated scoring data that was previously available in the Score Feed).
No more wasted clicks. No more wasted time. Your personal scorecard and the crowd’s scorecard, all on one page. And, as with all of our other features, it’s available on web and mobile. Enjoy.
