Abstract
Noah Zweiback
The 21st century has brought significant changes to American consumers through technological advancements, social medias, and changing public sentiments. The sport industry in particular has been largely unable to capitalize on these changes due to the traditional nature of sports.
Keyball™ is the new 21st century sport specifically designed to have the greatest spectator appeal in this modern age. With focus on athleticism, parity, theatrical/emotional engagements, and community impact, Keyball™ aims to create a fan experience that is not achievable by other professional sports leagues. By design, there is high skillset carryover from other sports, ensuring tremendous talent will always be available, and fans of many different sports will find Keyball™ attractive to watch and follow.
The professional sports industry has been dominated by only a few players for the past century. Due to the traditional nature of sports, innovation is hard to implement in professional leagues. Tackle football is A. incredibly dangerous, causing broken bones, torn ligaments and tendons, and serious brain damage (concussions, CTE) at high rates. B. Football is low scoring and C. the pace of play is very slow. Basketball by nature A. overwhelmingly rewards height or verticality. It also B. lacks physicality and C. parity (NBA level). D. The foul system is flawed and easily exploited, dampening the end of games.
Keyball™ is positioned to A. be much more violent than basketball/soccer/baseball, while being significantly safer than tackle football. In addition, B. the speed of play is much faster than football, similar to a soccer/basketball live play style. C. Keyball™ is high scoring (like basketball, unlike football and soccer) and features much more dynamic/exciting scoring opportunities than traditional team sports. Keyball™ D. unifies the highly entertaining skillsets of soccer players (foot skill) with basketball/football players (explosiveness & hand coordination). E. Keyball™ has inherent double meaning that alludes to gambling (Keyball™ Wager) yet still promotes charity, selflessness, and American values (capitalism, sportsmanship, teamwork).

Social Sports is an application which facilitates the environment fans need to support their team, in doing so our application aids hospitality businesses market their events and brings business during their downtime. Social sports allows businesses to market their sports screening events to fans and supporters. Fans and supporters using social sports are able to see the percentage of supporters/fans on each side and decide which bar or restaurant to go watch the game. Social Sport's mission is to connect sports fans with other like minded passionate fans and enable community formation and allow sports fans around the world to socialize with much ease.
From a young age I felt disconnected, and found art to be an effective means to connect with others. Guided by this I wanted to create an artistic piece to connect with the community that I have spent so much time living in. Utilizing an emerging opportunity near my apartment, I was able to secure a wall at a local venue to create a mural. I ran into my fair share of difficulties, taking a few lessons with me into future projects. The final design revolves around the university, being located right off campus, and the main pursuit of many of the residents here; graduation. I'm proud of the piece I've created and I'm happy to see the venue/community does as well.
