The Santa Catarina Championship, which had already gone ahead of the other states with the transmission of its games via its own streaming system in 2018, will innovate once again. This year it will have its own guessing platform, approved by the clubs and authorized by the Secretariat of Evaluation, Planning, Energy and Lottery (Secap) of the Ministry of Economy.
It will be a platform for entertainment and leisure, and access is free. Everyone can participate and guess their team's heart games. The system is already available to interested parties at www.palpitao.com.br. Unlike Cartola (where the fan scales his team), in Palpitão he will try to get the results of the matches.
In addition to some exclusive benefits, at the end of each round, the highest ranking VIP Guesser will win an official jersey of his heart team. At the end of the championship, the three best Vip Guessers will win vouchers valid in any Mastercard establishment, being R$ 5,000 (US$ 1,200) for the first place, R$ 3,000 (US$ 730) for the second and R$ 2,000 (US$ 485) for the third.
The president of the Association of Professional Football Clubs of Catarina (SCClubes), Francisco José Battistotti, praises the creation. “There is no way not to support this initiative. In addition to playing and guessing in the games of Catarinense 2020, our fans can still compete for prizes.” The speech of the president of the Santa Catarina Football Federation Rubens Angelotti is no different. “The Federation supports Palpitão, as he values the competition and will still bring entertainment to the Santa Catarina fans.”
Developed AK Global Software, a firm from Paraná, Palpitão Santa Catarina was approved by Secap in October last year. The negotiation involved SCCLUBES CEO Claudio Gomes and the creator of the project, Artur Calefe, who explains how fans can help their heart team: "38% of the revenue from VIP subscriptions will go to the clubs."
To maximize Palpitão's publicity, there is already a network of radio stations (nominated by the clubs) that will invite Santa Catarina fans to embrace their teams and the unprecedented platform in Brazilian football.
