Fantasy single sport challenge

摘要

An interactive fantasy single sport challenge that allows the participants to compete in the challenge by formulating a portfolio comprising shares of financial instruments in real-life athletes is provided. Each participant in the challenge is initially allotted a predetermined amount of fantasy money units with which to create a portfolio. During the course of the challenge, each participant is allowed to place market orders for the purchase and/or sale of shares of financial instruments in real-life athletes, and the participant receives dividends based on the shares of the financial instruments in real-life athletes contained in the participant's portfolio. The dividend generated by a share of a financial instrument in a real-life athlete is a measurement of the real-life athlete's on-field performance during real-life athletic competitions in which the real-life athlete participates. A winner of the challenge may be determined based on a combination of the dividends distributed to the participant during the course of the challenge and the value of the participant's portfolio.
