New Technology Allows NFL Fans to Call Plays against Carolina Panthers Head Coach Ron Rivera Live During Monday Night Football

PARKER, Colo. - Oct. 8, 2016 - PRLog -- RII Sports Technology announced that their GameBreak Scouting Dashboards and Call Sheet Optimization technologies will be leveraged by a new interactive application for fans during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Carolina Panthers game this Monday, October 10th. By merging its technology with the Be The Coach application, fans will be able to match play calling wits with Panthers Head Coach Ron Rivera live during Monday Night Football.

Be The Coach is a new application that allows users to call plays against live situations in NFL games in real-time. Each play call is scored using real film breakdown data and compared to the play calling tendencies of real NFL football coaches. As game situations change during the actual game, fans will be able to make a play call on their mobile devices, iPads, tablets or computers and attempt to "outcoach" Ron Rivera and the Carolina Panthers offensive staff.

"More than 13 million people watched Monday Night Football last week. As much as we love football, our interaction with the game is passive – we watch, hope, and follow our fantasy football teams during games," says Tom Woods, RII Sports Technology's founder. "This new application allows fans to actually take an active role in a game by reacting to live game situations and making play calls in the same way an NFL Coach would. Our technology allows fans to go behind the scenes and experience a sliver of the same stress and pressure felt by NFL Coaches as they try to make the right call."

Be The Coach is conducting open beta tests throughout the month of September; interested fans are invited to create a free account and play along during this Monday Night's Buccaneers-Panthers game.

RII Sports Technology was formed in 2013 to provide data services to football programs at all levels of competition, including teams like the University of Arizona, SMU, Baylor, the University of Illinois, Yale and many others. RII Sports Technology leverages more than 20 years of experience working with clients in the Aerospace & Defense industry including NASA, Lockheed-Martin, Boeing, Northrop Grumman and the Missile Defense Agency.
