The Wii Bowling Project
January 27, 2007 1:06 AM | Simon Carless
In our continuing quest to link everything The New Gamer posts, ever, we present their latest idea, 'The Wii Bowling Project', a definitely endearing concept which promises "to see how our Wii Sports bowling performance rated against our league bowling performance."
Blogger G.Turner, whose significant other unitdaisy also belongs to their 'Thar She Bowls!' Chicago-area bowling team, comments: "With the league on my mind all this month, I couldn't help but think of my real-life bowling average while playing Wii Sports. I was quite surprised to see just how closely my Wii Sports bowling stance, curve and scores mirror my actual lane action."
But how? "What unitdaisy and I decided to do was to bowl two sets of games a week: the two games our normal league bowls on Sunday, and on Wednesdays we'll bowl two Wii Sports bowling games... At the end of the league's season on April 15th (as league seasons go, it's rather short, running a brief 14 weeks) we'll pick apart the scores and see just how well our Wii bowling improved (or declined) compared to our league bowling. Who knows, maybe we'll see some other interesting results too!" GSW promises to update daily with the latest stats.

Hello,
Gamezy.com is looking to partner with bars nationwide in building friendly, fun, competitive and profitable Sports bar competitions. Compete against other sports bars nationwide in popular video games such as Madden Football for xbox 360 on Tuesday and Wednesday nights and Nintendo Wii bowling on Thursday nights. If you have seen the ESPN madden challenge on TV, you know that video game competitions are now part of our culture and a very profitable.
We have developed an innovative way for you to play Wii bowling online against other Gamezy.com participants. Your bar will compete against other bars across the country for cash in heads up games and tournaments.
Take advantage of our service to increase revenue on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and Thursday's starting 10/07/08 at 7pm eastern standard time. Tournament for Madden 09 is played on Xbox 360, with 64 bars participating nationwide (tournament will move forward as long as their are at least 8 teams registered). The 1st 3 rounds will be played on Tuesday at 7pm eastern standard time, with the final 3 rounds played on Wednesday at 7pm eastern standard time. Each round should take 1 hour to complete.
The entry fee into the tournament(s) is $150, 1st Place gets $3,000. Second place gets $2,250 and third place gets $1,470. You are free to create an event of this, collecting a fee/donations from patrons, or hold try outs for madden/Wii gamers to compete against each other. The winner gets to represent your bar in the tournament.
If you need help recruiting madden gamers for your bar, we can help. What you pay the gamer you recruit is up to you.
You are also welcome to post head up challenges against other bars as well.
How this works: For Wii Bowling, you will need a web cam to broadcast your game live as you play at your location onto our web site. To broadcast your game, you will need to create and account with www.ustream.tv, copy the HTML code of your video player into your gamezy.com profile. Every time you play and broadcast your game, it will be shown live at our web site for your opponent to see. You will also be able to view your opponents game live as they play at our website. Take turns bowling and communicate using our chat room.
Next add funds to your Gamezy.com account. Each time you play funds will be debited from your account. Withdraw your winnings at anytime.
Next post a challenge for other bars to accept or register into any of our tournaments.
Register today and add even more energy to your business.
Thank You,
