Patent number: 8366551Abstract: A single user fantasy game, including a database of VFGMs, each having strategies and player rankings supplied by or for certain human remote GMs, together with a database of real-world athlete/participants. A draft is launched, with the user and at least selected VFGMs as participants. In that draft, the user and the VFGMs make selections of athlete/participants according to predetermined draft rules. Those selections made by the user and by the VFGMs are then saved as respective teams in a team database. Once the teams are selected, the performance of the teams is determined, using a database of real-world performances/statistics, for the athlete/participants in the database of athlete/participants, from a particular time period and according to a set of fantasy game scoring rules. A winner is determined from among the user and the VFGMs, based on the performance of the teams for the particular time period.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2009Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: World Sports Technology, Inc.Inventor: Jeffrey Thomas
