## A New Level of Fan Engagement
Super Rugby Pacific CEO Jack Mesley noted that the arrival of fantasy sports has become a vital part of modern fandom globally.
“I think more and more what we’re seeing in global sport is gamification and second screen gamification becoming a really important part of fandom,” Mesley said.
“Providing mechanisms which allow fans to go deeper, engage with their fans and friends around games is going to be a really important part of our product mix, particularly as we try to do a few things. Engaging with a younger audience and making sure that we’ve got the tools and mechanisms that younger fans can engage with is going to be really important for Super going forward.”
## Spotlighting Talent Across the Competition
Mesley stressed that the introduction of fantasy is key to attracting new fans while boosting awareness of talent across all the teams.
“It’s going to really help us build the fame of players from other teams outside of the team that you support,” he believes.
“One of our focuses is to promote this idea
of we are one competition with 11 teams and we have 11 teams that represent all the different parts of the Pacific. What we want to do is make sure that a fan of the Waratahs knows the great talent that the Drua have or that exists with the Chiefs or the Force.”
The strategic mechanics of fantasy oblige fans to scout for hidden gems and great values across all 11 teams. This fosters a deeper connection with the broader competition, extending enthusiasm beyond just the individual team they support.
“The mechanics of Fantasy ensure you are going to look for great buys, great talent at good value for your Fantasy team across all 11 teams, which is going to help promote your engagement with the broader comp, not just the games and the squad of the team that you follow,” Mesley explained.
“… I think the more the code can continue to push into this space to fuel gamification and mechanisms in which younger fans in particular can engage with the game, the better. Clearly, that’s easier to do around big tournaments like World Cups and things like that, but the more that that can happen at the club level, the better.”
