account and two (2) the ability to provide an accurate character

profile with current contact and personal information. The entry-fee for this tournament has been set at $5 US Dollars per account and credit cards are the only method of transaction. Payment for the tournament will end exactly one hour prior to the end of the tournament on July 13th.

Home-Runs are not accumulated during the two week term, meaning that the player with the most home-runs at the end of ten outs, at the end of two weeks, will be declared the winner. The winners will receive a combined value of $250 in gas money!

About Real Baseball ( www.PlayRealBaseball.com):

In Real Baseball, baseball enthusiasts and online gamers compete in 3D virtual stadiums. With stunning graphics and surround-sound audio reactions from the crowd, participants control customized characters for each position and compete together against other Real Baseball gamers. Players use an avatar to bat, pitch, field, run, steal and perform any baseball action. Participants can practice, play pick-up games, join or establish their own teams, compete against rival teams,

play in specialized tournaments, and win league championships in post-season play. Gamers create their own characters and build their skill level (player stats) through successful play on the field against other real human players. Unlike current video games that aim to simulate professional sports, Real Baseball delivers a first-person perspective of a character, created and developed by the player, interacting online in real-time with teammates and opponents.
