Scenario
Kevin Durant is a freshman starting his first year at MIT. He has been an avid basketball player throughout high school and hopes to continue playing in college. After being directed to the Zesiger Center, Kevin has already played a few pick-up basketball games here. He starts to notice a regular crowd of people playing at the Z-Center, but is frustrated that there is not much of a system for coordinating games. Sometimes it's very easy for him to find a rewarding game, at other times, he shows up to an empty court. As a prospective Couse 6 student, he thinks that there should be a way to solve this problem using the web. One of the people he has been playing with, George Karl, recommends PickFind to Kevin. Kevin's eyes are opened.
The first thing Kevin does is register with PickFind. He quickly fills out a profile with some of his basic information. Now Kevin gets started searching for some games to play in. His classes don't start until noon on Fridays, so he looks for a late game on Thursday night. Kevin is pleased to find a game at the Z-Center courts on Thursday night that was created by George Karl. The aggregate skill level of the game promises that there will be a high level of competition. He quickly adds himself to the game so he appears on the roster and the time shows up on his schedule. Kevin navigates over to George's profile to find out a little more about his new friend. He realizes that George is about the same skill level and also tends to play on weeknights at the Z-Center. As a result, Kevin adds George to his list of buddies. On Thursday night, Kevin shows up the court and gets a great game started right away.
