The changes in the solicitation conditions and the price are reflected on the solicitation page and posted on the Internet by the management device.

Abstract: A game system (1) executes a sport video game that uses a moving object (52), and stores evaluation standard data which associates an area (76) in a game space (30) with an evaluation standard for evaluating the result of movement of the moving object (52) from a point inside the area (76). A moving control unit (98) moves the moving object (52) from a moving start point based on the result of detection by a game operation detecting unit (96). A determining unit (100) determines whether or not the result of the movement of the moving object (52) from the moving start point satisfies an evaluation standard that is associated with the area (76) that contains the moving start point. A game operation evaluating unit (102) evaluates a game operation performed by a player based on the result of determination of the determining unit (100).
