SYSTEMS AND/OR METHODS FOR STOCK PORTFOLIO BASED COMPETITIVE SIMULATIONS

摘要

The exemplary embodiments described herein relate to systems and/or methods for competitive simulations and, more particularly, to systems and/or methods in which users build stock portfolios that compete against each other, with the performance of each user's stock portfolio being based on one or more stock market related metrics (e.g., price per share, market capitalization, volume of trade, etc.). A user's portfolio may be formed and/or reformed so as to comply with certain predefined criteria (e.g., company traded on a particular exchange, company belonging to a particular market sector, etc.). The performance of each team/portfolio may be depicted using sports-related imagery (e.g., as teams on a football field, a basketball court, around a baseball diamond, etc.).

主权项

1. A computer system configured to facilitate a competitive simulation between at least two users, each said user having at least one associated team, the system comprising:
processing resources including at least one hardware processor and a memory coupled to the at least one hardware processor, the processing resources being configured to at least:
enable a plurality of teams to be built in response to user selections made through one or more respective user interfaces, each said team comprising a plurality of players assignable to the respective team in accordance with rules of the competitive simulation, each said player representing an asset having a marked-based value ascertainable using an software interface accessible by the computer system;store, to a data store of the computer system, indications of the players on the built teams;determine, using the software interface, how players assigned to the built teams perform, based at least in part on the respective players' marked-based values;simulate performance of each said team based on how the players assigned to the respective teams perform, based at least in part on the respective players' marked-based values determined using the software interface; andgenerate for display a ranking of the teams based on the simulated performance of each said team.
