As others have said, after looking at different pages on the website and reading the description here, I cannot really tell what youphenom is.

> About Us

> We could say that Youphenom is a fantasy league.

> We could also say that it's an e-commerce website.

> We could probably say that it's a popularity contest...

From the description posted here it solves the following problems:

- interconnects content pages and chatrooms

- allows teams and athletes to do their business online

- score actual points

- allows sports teams to compete against each other

I don't really know concretely what any of that means.

Thank you for taking the time to contribute to the conversation. Fair criticism on the about us page, but again, what we introduce (albeit combining existing concepts) is materially distinct from everything that currently exists. We’ll try to address some of the points that you highlighted below: -“interconnects content pages and chatrooms”: The way NBA “interconnects” the basketball teams (which otherwise would be separately practicing teams), the same way youphenom “interconnects” social media channels/pages, which currently are separate/confined “rooms” and nothing enables interaction between them. (And just to reiterate, that youphenom is not strictly sports oriented, virtually any activity/talent can participate in a competition, take America’s got talent for example). Which brings us to the next point: -“allows teams from different sports to compete”- in the real world the Yankees could never play against the Lakers, or the Patriots vs mrBeast, but youphenom enables exactly that. -“score actual points”- in the real world no fan is ever invited on the court to take the next free throw in an official NBA game, but youphenom is based exactly on that - only the fans vote/score all the points for their teams to determine the winner. We hope this clarifies somewhat our concept and thanks again for pointing out areas that may use improvement or clarification Cheers
