Description
FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a game system and method, and more particularly to a competition evaluation system and an evaluation method.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Fantasy sports is an emerging game that allows people to participate in sports competitions. It is an online game that combines sports knowledge and strategic competition. In addition to enjoying sports events, people can also obtain additional fun from competitive games.


Please refer to FIG. 1. The game operation process of traditional fantasy sports comprises a procedure P1 for selecting competition members, a procedure P2 for determining whether selecting termination, a procedure P3 for obtaining game results, a procedure P4 for calculating scores statistically, and a procedure P5 for generating users ranking list.


Fantasy sports will select a physical sports event played by actual people as the game subject, such as baseball, basketball, football, etc. The competition time of fantasy sports can be a sports event or a seasonal sports events (consisting of a plurality of sports events). Fantasy sports will provide all competition members who can participate in sports events as selection options, and in the procedure P1 for selecting competition members, the player can select at least one competition member to participate in a competition combination of fantasy sports based on the player's own judgment or preference and at the same time based on the settings of fantasy sports.


Then, fantasy sports will perform the procedure P2 for determining whether selecting termination. Fantasy sports will set a deadline before starting the sports event. After the deadline, players cannot change the selected competition members in the competition combination. In the procedure P2 for determining whether selecting termination, fantasy sports will continue to determine whether the deadline has reached. If the deadline has not yet reached, players can freely select to change the competition members in the competition combination. If the deadline has been reached, players are prohibited from changing the competition members in the competition combination.


Then, fantasy sports perform the procedure P3 for obtaining game results. After the sports event has a result, fantasy sports will obtain a competition data of the sports event. The competition data is the sports event results of all the competition members in the sports event.


Then, fantasy sports perform the procedure P4 for calculating scores statistically. Fantasy sports calculates and obtains a statistical score for each of the players' competition combination based on the player's competition combination and the competition data of the sports event. In more detail, each of the competition members will obtain a competition score based on the competition data. Provided that the competition scores of all the competition members in the competition combination are calculated statistically, the statistical score of the competition combination can be known.


Finally, fantasy sports perform the procedure P5 for generating users ranking list. Fantasy sports generates a ranking list based on the statistical score of the competition combination, and the player can obtain specific rewards based on rankings of the ranking list.


As mentioned above in fantasy sports, the competition score of each of the competition members is generated entirely based on a numerical value of the competition data. Although it is quite fair and objective, it does not practically match the actual performance of the competition members. In more detail, in sports events, the two competition members with the same numerical value of the competition data will have the same competition score, but if the playing time intervals of the two competition members are different, the competition member with shorter playing time will obviously have higher actual performance. Obviously, conventional fantasy sports cannot provide appropriate competition scores based on the actual performance of the competition members, and there is room for improvement.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

The detailed description and technical content of the invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.


Please refer to FIG. 2. The invention discloses a competition evaluation system for providing a competition game for a plurality of players to play. The competition evaluation system comprises: a display unit 10, a competition information unit 20, a user unit 30, a statistics unit 40, an information storage unit 50 and a server processing unit 60, wherein the display unit 10 displays a game information related to the competition game for viewing by the players.


The competition information unit 20 obtains a competition information and a competition data of a pending physical competition. The competition information comprises a plurality of competition members participating in the physical competition. The competition data comprises a competition result and an appearance information of each of the competition members, and each of the competition members is given a performance score and a contribution degree respectively based on the competition result and the appearance information.


In one embodiment, the physical competition is a time-based competition, the appearance information is an appearance time, the performance score is correlated to the competition result, and the contribution degree is negatively correlated to the appearance time. For example, the time-based competition can be basketball, football, rugby, volleyball, polo, handball, ice hockey, etc. In this embodiment, when the competition member has less of the appearance time (compared with an average appearance time), it can be inferred that the performance score of the competition member is obtained with less of the appearance time, so the competition member should obtain the higher contribution degree, and therefore the contribution degree is negatively correlated to the appearance time.


In one embodiment, the physical competition is a specified round-based competition, the appearance information is a number of rounds played, the performance score is correlated to the competition result, and the contribution degree is negatively correlated to the number of rounds played. For example, the designated round-based competition can be baseball, archery, softball, table tennis, tennis, badminton, etc. In this embodiment, the competition member can only strive to improve the competition result in the number of rounds played, when the competition member has fewer of the number of rounds played (compared with an average number of rounds played), it can be inferred that the performance score of the competition member is obtained with fewer of the number of rounds played, so the competition member should obtain the higher contribution degree, and therefore the contribution degree is negatively correlated to the number of rounds played.


In one embodiment, the physical competition is a specified score-based competition, the appearance information is a number of appearances, the performance score is correlated to the competition result, and the contribution degree is negatively correlated to the number of appearances. For example, the designated score-based competition can be car racing, bicycle racing, horse racing, rowing, etc. In this embodiment, the competition member will obtain a specified number of appearances, and the competition member can only strive to improve the competition result in the number of appearances. Therefore, when the competition member has fewer of the number of appearances (compared with an average number of appearances), it can be inferred that the performance score of the competition member is obtained with fewer of the number of appearances, so the competition member should obtain the higher contribution degree, and therefore the contribution degree is negatively correlated to the number of appearances.


In addition, calculation of the contribution degree is not only correlated to the appearance time, the number of rounds played, and the number of appearances, but can also be correlated to value, timing of appearance of the competition member, and can be designed according to actual requirements.


The user unit 30 is provided for the players to register, log in, amend and store a member information respectively, and the user unit 30 is provided for the players to respectively create a competition member list, and the competition member list is generated by selecting at least one of the competition members by the player.


In one embodiment, each of the competition members is given a selection point, the player needs to pay a competition point when creating the competition member list, and the competition point is a sum of the selection points of all the competition members in the competition member list. In more detail, the player needs to obtain a game point exceeding the competition point in advance before being able to pay the competition point when creating the competition member list.


In one embodiment, the competition point that the player can pay has an upper limit value. When the upper limit value exists, the player cannot only select the competition member who has performed well in the past. In other words, the player cannot spend a lot of money as a selecting means to achieve good results, instead the player needs to put effort into researching all the competition members to make the best choice, so that the different players can compete under fair conditions, thus increasing a playability of the competition game.


In one embodiment, the competition point that the player can pay has a lower limit value. The lower limit value is a threshold for the player to participate in the competition game, that is, the minimum competition point that the player has to pay each time the player plays the competition game, thereby ensuring an operating profit of the industry.


The statistics unit 40 corrects the performance score of the competition member based on a positive correlation with the contribution degree of each of the competition members to generate a weighted score for the competition member. In addition, the statistics unit 40 statistically calculates the weighted scores of all the competition members in each of the competition member lists, thereby generating a total score for each of the competition member lists, and performing ranking according to the total score, so that the associated players respectively obtain a competition ranking. In order to increase an excitement of the competition game, the statistics unit 40 generates a competition reward point based on a sum of the competition points paid by the players respectively, and the statistics unit 40 allocates the competition reward point to the players based on the competition ranking. In other words, the better the competition ranking of the player, the higher a proportion of the competition reward point the player can obtain.


The information storage unit 50 is used to store the game information, the competition information, the competition data, the member information, the competition member list and the competition ranking.


The server processing unit 60 connects to and controls operation of the display unit 10, the competition information unit 20, the user unit 30, the statistics unit 40 and the information storage unit 50, and performs transmission and exchange of the game information, the competition information, the competition data, the member information, the competition member list and the competition ranking.


Please refer to FIG. 3. The invention further discloses an evaluation method of the competition evaluation system. Procedures of the evaluation method comprise a competition creation procedure S1, a member selection procedure S2, a competition pending procedure S3, a data acquisition procedure S4 and a ranking calculation procedure S5.
