+
+The Sports Advantage Marketplace is a platform that efficiently connects racing teams with potential
+sponsors. Our solution scales the sponsorship process by providing a marketplace with available
+sponsorship opportunities.
+The project brings sports sponsorship closer to the fans, it allows a wider interaction between the teams
+and their fans. This is only possible by converting the sponsorship and experiences to digital assets on
+the blockchain. A race car is sponsored via advertisement real estate on the car, “Ad Spot”. By
+converting the final Ad Spot into an NFT, we unlock the potential for primary and secondary markets.
+Sponsorship revenues are also achieved through the sale of experience and merchandise to sponsors
+and to fans.
+
+
+Each category is composed of seasons, the seasons have events, and cars participate in those events.
+Our platform will list each car’s Ad spots in each event, and for every season to be sold as an NFT. The
+second items sold on the platform are the “Experiences” like VIP Access, Photos with the driver, and
+many more. Those items will also be listed on the marketplace and they are tied to the same structure
+outlined above.
+
+To put it in perspective, if a single car can have 50 ad spots, those will be multiplied by the events and
+the seasons. In addition, experiences will provide an additional multiplier.
+We think that building it on Casper will not only provide sports sponsorship access to the Casper
+Ecosystem but also will result in added value for the teams, drivers, and the industry.
+
+Finally, the transparency that blockchain brings will lead to the onboarding of the teams, team members,
+sponsors, and fans to the Casper ecosystem.
+
+This proposed project holds significant promise in revolutionizing the relationship between sports
+sponsorships, fan engagement, and blockchain technology within the Casper ecosystem. Let’s delve
+into the detailed benefits and implications:
+
+Enhancing Fan Interaction and Engagement:
+Closer Fan-Team Interaction: By tokenizing sports sponsorships and experiences into digital assets on
+the blockchain, the project facilitates a direct and immersive connection between fans and their favorite
+teams/drivers. This bridges the gap, enabling fans to participate actively beyond mere spectatorship.
+Wider Accessibility: The conversion of sponsorships and experiences into NFTs allows for a broader
+reach and accessibility, allowing fans worldwide to engage with and potentially own a piece of their
+favorite team’s history.
+Unlocking New Market Opportunities:
+NFT Market Expansion: The conversion of ad spots and experiences into NFTs creates primary and
+secondary markets. This not only introduces new revenue streams for teams and drivers but also
+fosters a thriving marketplace for collectors and enthusiasts interested in these unique digital assets.
+Multiplier Effect: The multiplication of ad spots across events and seasons, coupled with additional
+experiences, amplifies the market potential, creating a dynamic ecosystem for both primary and
+secondary sales.
+Benefits to Casper Ecosystem:
+Value Addition: Integrating this project into the Casper ecosystem brings intrinsic value real estate on
+the car, “Ad Spot”. By converting the final Ad Spot into an NFT, we unlock the potential for primary and
+secondary markets. Similarly other assets are able to be minted on the Casper network.
+Each category is composed of seasons, the seasons have events, and cars participate in those events.
+Our platform will list each car’s Ad spots in each event, and for every season to be sold as an NFT.

+This proposed project holds significant promise in revolutionizing the relationship between sports
+sponsorships, fan engagement, and blockchain technology within the Casper ecosystem. Let’s delve
+into the detailed benefits and implications:
+by expanding the use case and utility of the platform. It diversifies the application of blockchain
+technology beyond traditional domains, attracting sports enthusiasts and participants to the ecosystem.
+Transparency and Trust: Leveraging blockchain’s transparency ensures trust and accountability in
+sponsorships, transactions, and ownership rights. This transparency is pivotal in attracting teams,
+sponsors, and fans into the Casper ecosystem, fostering a community built on trust.
+Industry Advancement:
+Innovation in Sports Sponsorship: The project represents a pioneering approach to sports sponsorship
+by leveraging blockchain and NFTs, potentially setting a new standard for the industry.
+Economic Empowerment: Teams, drivers, and stakeholders benefit from increased monetization
+opportunities through the tokenization of ad spots and experiences, potentially transforming the
+economics of sports sponsorship.

+### Description
+
+The following NFT categories exist (as of Apr 19, 2024).

+including, experiences and merchandising.

+(Mainnet). For clarity “integrated and onboarded” in all cases means that teams at least are setup in the
+marketplace with a team profile and have been enabled to create ad spots, experiences, and
+merchandize for sale in the marketplace.
+Deployed NFTs smart contracts on the Casper mainnet.
+Minimum of 200 NFTs minted on the Casper mainnet representing all NFT categories. Sports
+Advantage will pursue but is not limited to the minting of high value NFTs, including ad spots in the
+current season, car parts, VIP experience track days.

+Onboarding and integration of up to 6 additional racing team+series pairs using the Sports Advantage
+Marketplace on Casper. Each additional racing team fully onboarded will be rewarded separately in this
+milestone.
+For clarity, TEAM A + SERIES A = 1 team+series pair, TEAM A + SERIES B = 2 team+series pair.
+Each team+series pair has the opportunity to open up a new set of ads for the marketplace. For
+example, team may participate in Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup and Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland,
+same team + driver, but different sponsors.
+It is understood that Sports Advantage will make reasonable efforts to drive high value items to be
+minted as NFTs. Both volume and value of NFTs are important for Casper to drive use of the Casper
+Network.
