scoutPRO Launches a New Predictive Tool for Fantasy Football

    ATLANTA, GA, August 26, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- scoutPRO has released a cutting-edge predictive analysis Fantasy Football application that allows the Fantasy Football Team Owner (aka General Manager) to improve their draft and set their weekly player roster. The scoutPRO launch coincides with the kick-off of the 2010-2011 Fantasy Football Season. It offers users the opportunity to take advantage of scoutPRO's predictive analysis that combines historical tendencies and subjective ratings to identify the strengths and weaknesses of players in specific situations. scoutPRO gives each Fantasy Football "GM" a distinct advantage over the other members of their Fantasy Football League throughout the entire season.

scoutPRO:
- optimizes the selection process for choosing weekly player rosters for Fantasy Football GMs
- provides a rating system where scoutPRO's Fantasy Football experts define strengths and weaknesses for every NFL player's specific skill set
- is unique predictive analysis software that provides the Fantasy Football GMs with player matchups by skill rating based on the specific upcoming weekly opponent
- includes rules in a "learning database" so that every play called, yard gained and point scored will dynamically change the rating for each player, and
- gives every Fantasy Football GM the best chance to win their league every week and for the entire season

Players are rated on the skills associated with their position. For example, all Quarterbacks are rated on skills based on rules using statistical data: Avoiding the Rush, Long Passing, Passing Accuracy, Passing Production, and Passing into Coverage. The Quarterbacks are also rated on more subjective skills including Arm Strength, Awareness, Improvising, Scrambling, Poise in the Pocket, Speed, and Throwing on the Run. Player skill ratings are updated weekly based on the opponent, weather, and injuries. A total rating is provided for each player and can be compared against all players in that position.

"During the focus groups that we conducted with Fantasy Football GMs, we learned that there was a great interest in having one source that delivers the most up-to-date and comprehensive detailed data on all NFL players", says Diane Bloodworth, President and CEO of scoutPRO. "The GMs value data, but do not always have the time to conduct the research needed for in-depth player comparisons. Using scoutPRO's software (patent pending), Fantasy Football GMs will be able to drill down into each player's specific skill ratings to understand how statistical data combined with scoutPRO's Fantasy Football experts, provide them with the best weekly Fantasy Football analysis in the marketplace.
