The Smartest UMass Fan is a game designed specifically to ask a series a questions about Minuteman sports. When answered correctly, each player adds to their point total and rank, earning "bragging rights" and Leaderboard positions. Each player competes to be the daily, monthly, or all-time Leader, while having the opportunity to message other players, participate on the "Player Talk" message boards, and submit questions. Players can also interact with other Minuteman fans by forming teams for competition in addition to individual play. At the end of each game, each player can review the correct answer, and over time, players gain a deeper knowledge of Minuteman athletics and accomplishments.
Minuteman Fans are recognized for their accuracy and speed by moving up "levels" and earning "badges," with opportunities to excel in a number of categories and sports. If desired, each player will receive a daily email that links them directly to the "PLAY NOW" portion of the game, which allows players to support UMass Athletics as part of their everyday experience.
The game can be accessed on the web at: www.smartestumassfan.com.
