An on-line gaming environment provides a forum for competitors to play
against each other. Each competitor pays a fee for a game which comprises
a number of rounds. A prize fund is generated for each competitor from
their entry fee and the prize for a round is the combined prize funds of
the two competitors. In each round, opponents are selected at random. A
player who loses any rounds is eliminated from the game. A player who
wins a predetermined number of consecutive games wins the accumulated
fund. Players may select between a number of available games to play and
may switch which game is being played in between rounds.
