Sport is a Xamarin.Forms app initially built for Xamarin employees as a way to facilitate leaderboards for a few ping-pong tables and darts we have around the office. Athletes can join leagues, get ranked and challenge other athletes to move up the ladder. As of 8/30/2015, Sport features 93.6% code share (3.3% iOS / 3.1% Android).

This is an example of an iOS athlete and an Android athlete conducting a challenge
