Overcoming the Fear of Change: Five Reasons to Test the Waters with Splash Sports

Updated over 3 months ago

We get it — change is hard, especially when you’ve spent years perfecting your Survivor, Pick X, or NFL contests. The idea of moving your community to a new platform can feel risky. If it isn’t broken, why fix it?

But as a commissioner, you know there’s more to it than that. From chasing down entry fees to manually tracking results, there are plenty of pain points that Splash Sports was built to solve.

If you're curious but hesitant, here are five compelling reasons to give Splash a trial run — even if it’s just with a small group to start.


✅ 1. Get Acquainted with the Platform

Trying Splash with a smaller group allows you to:

  • Get comfortable with the interface and tools

  • Learn the ins and outs of creating and managing contests

  • Minimize the learning curve for yourself and your players

Testing the platform in a low-pressure setting makes the full transition feel easy and intuitive.


💬 2. Gather Essential Feedback

No platform is perfect — and your experience matters.

As a commissioner, your insights help improve Splash for everyone. By starting with a small test group, you can:

  • Share real feedback with our team

  • Identify what works well (and what could be better)

  • Help shape future platform improvements

Your voice makes a difference, and we’re listening.


⏳ 3. Ease the Transition for Your Community

Convincing a large group to move platforms can be tough.

Instead, try hosting weekly contests on Splash to introduce players gradually. This gives your group time to:

  • Get familiar with the format

  • Try new features without pressure

  • Feel more confident before fully switching over

It’s a smoother, more natural onboarding process that reduces resistance.


💰 4. Learn to Maximize Rewards & Gameplay

Splash isn’t just easy to use — it’s also packed with built-in ways to earn and play.

By testing early, you’ll discover how to:

  • Make the most of commissioner rewards

  • Customize contests to boost engagement

  • Increase earnings while offering a better experience

The earlier you start experimenting, the more successful your full launch will be.


🔧 5. Customize Games to Fit Your Rules

Your contest likely has its own flavor — and we love that.

Running a test contest helps you:

  • Explore customization options (scoring, rules, etc.)

  • Suggest enhancements specific to your community

  • Build a tailored experience that honors your contest’s traditions

With your feedback, we can ensure Splash works for you, not the other way around.


Ready to Dip Your Toes In?

Change can be intimidating, but starting small is the smartest way to succeed.

By testing Splash Sports before a full transition, you can:

  • Familiarize yourself with the tools

  • Offer feedback to improve the platform

  • Prepare your players for a smooth switch

  • Optimize contests for rewards and gameplay

  • Tailor contests to your unique format

Take the first step toward a better experience — for you and your community. Create a small test contest on Splash Sports today and see how easy, rewarding, and fun the future of fantasy can be.
