Netamin Announces First "Ultimate Baseball Online 2006"
Pay-To-Play Tournament
Sony PSP Systems for Each Member of the Winning Team
DIAMOND BAR, Calif. (May 22, 2006) - NetaminR Communication Corporation
today announced its first pay-to-play tournament and the launch of
Tournaments PRO, where teams compete for cash and other prizes. The
inaugural Tournaments PRO event will award each member of the winning team
with a PSP™ (PlayStationR Portable) system. The cost to enter the
tournament is $5 and every entrant will receive an Ultimate Baseball Online
2006 t-shirt just for entering. Ultimate Baseball Online 2006 (UBO 2006) can
be downloaded and played for free at www.ultimatebaseballonline.com.
Ultimate Baseball Online 2006 is a technological innovation which lets
sports fans and gamers play a virtual version of baseball in a real-time
environment on any PC with a broadband connection. UBO delivers a
first-person perspective online sports experience as human players form
teams to compete against other teams in real-time. UBO players can compete
in tournaments to win cash and other valuable prizes.
In Ultimate Baseball Online, players create their own characters, and gain
experience for every game they play. When their character "levels up," they
get points that they can use to increase their character's abilities in
areas such as running speed, throwing power, batting power, etc. Unlike
traditional baseball video games, UBO lets players play with teammates -
everyone sees the game from their own character's first-person perspective.
And just as in baseball, team communication (team chat) is essential for
success on the field.
Tournament Details:
To be invited to the PSP Invitational, teams must first win any one of the
qualifying rounds being played the week of June 5-11. Up to 16 teams will
come out on top of the qualifying rounds. Each of the winning teams will be
invited to play in the PSP Invitational, which runs Tuesday through Friday,
June 13-16.
To register, visit the Tournament tab on ultimatebaseballonline.com and go
to Tournaments PRO. For ONLY $5 per player, each 5-man team will be
competing for his or her chance at a PSP system; each confirmed registrant
will also receive a newly-designed UBO 2006 t-shirt just for signing up!
Each qualifying round will use an 8-team single-elimination bracket. The
top teams from all the qualifying rounds will then be invited to play for
the PSP systems in the open invitational. Follow all the action in the
Tournament News section of the ultimatebaseballonline.com as each round will
have game summaries and write-ups.
Players may only register once for each qualifying round, but may register
for a second qualifying round if they do not win on their first go. Each
additional qualifying registration requires a separate entry fee.
Players seeking a team affiliation can post a notice on the UBO forum,
available through the ultimatebaseballonline.com website or by going to
http://bbs.ultimatebaseballonline.com/ubo2...ebb.cgi?ubb=for
um;f=14 .
Winning members of the qualifying rounds may not add or change their team
rosters for the invitational and agree to the invitational schedule upon
successful registration.
