Mayah **Age:** 24 **Interests:** Computers, hardware, coding, dark web, crypto, ... **Occupation:** IT-girl at a school Mayah has the reputation of being an IT-wizard. When she overhears the teachers in the teachers lounge discussing last year's frustrations and mistrust that came with the brackets pool, she sarcastically says: "Why don't you just put it on a blockchain somewhere...", rolling her eyes. The teachers actually like the idea, ask her to organise this. After a quick search Mayah finds PerfectPool and she sets up the pool for them. TYPE OF USER: - light - on board because wanting the help out less tech-savvy - organiser of 1 pool ## 6. Darla **Age:** 26 **Interests:** Advertising, some extreme sports, board games, films and snow boarding **Occupation:** Marketing Manager for Virtual Office Furniture Company Darla doesn't usually watch sports and she doesn't gamble much. But, there's one big exception: The annual Office Pool for March Madness. She knows virtually nothing about the teams and couldn't really care less. She just relishes the thought of doing better than those know-it-all sports fans in the office, like last year when she finished 3rd in the office pool of 12 despite picking solely based on team logos. It's all about the bragging rights! She wants to submit an entry to Perfect Pool, but she knows little about crypto -- someone will have to walk her through that part. But, the rest of PerfectPool is instantly familiar to her, and she's keen to learn about this whole crypto thing. What's the worst that could happen? The entry fee is only the USD-equivalent of $20. And, this year she'll get a chance to beat both the sports geeks AND the crypto nerds. That's what excites her. TYPE OF USER: - new - all about the cameraderie - participant in only her office pool
