TECHNICAL FIELD

[001] The present disclosure generally relates to a method, system, and an apparatus for gaming, exercise and entertainment. In particular, the present disclosure relates to methods, systems, and apparatuses for providing and playing a game influenced by spectator activity, and for promoting physical activity, social connection and community connection of an individual participating in a spectatable event.

[002] U.S. patent application nos. 63/415,557; 63/424,037; 63/425,948; 63/507,002; 63/518,668 are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety for all purposes.

BACKGROUND

[003] There is a health epidemic of physical inactivity; physical inactivity is the fourth leading cause of global mortality according to the World Health Organization (2010). There is also a health epidemic of social isolation and loneliness. The 2023 U.S Surgeon General’s advisory report notes that loneliness and social isolation increase the risk of premature death by 26% and 29% respectively. Social isolation is defined as having few social relationships, social roles, group memberships, and infrequent social interaction. According to the Surgeon General’s report, approximately half of the U.S. adults report experiencing loneliness, with some of the highest rates among young adults. One conclusion is that since loneliness and social isolation together affect nearly 50% of individuals, loneliness and social isolation are more widespread than many other health issues of our day including smoking (12.5% of U.S. adults), diabetes (14.7%), and obesity (41.9%). The Surgeon General advisory report also references data that shows that social isolation is worse than all of the following: smoking 15 cigarettes per day; drinking 6 alcoholic drinks daily; physical inactivity; obesity; and air pollution. Social isolation is an independent risk factor for deaths from all causes, including deaths caused by diseases.

In other instances, additional features and advantages may be recognized in certain embodiments that may not be present in all exemplary embodiments of the subject disclosure.

[0020] Studies show that being a spectator (e.g., sports fan) can be a physical experience. However, during, before and after most games, the role of spectators is passive as they do not have any direct influence on the decision-making process, or outcome of the game, but spectator behavior is one in-direct external factor that can influence an athlete’s performance during a game due to evaluative attitude, encouragement, discouragement, or other emotion, and/or sentiment being conveyed. Just as sports and games have changed over the millennia, the subject matter of the following description provides subject matter that enables spectators and other entities actively contributing, influencing and impacting the game while it is occurring through their production of game energy.

[0021] The subject disclosure provides a system and apparatus for game play influenced by spectator activity comprising: a data communication device for transmitting and/or receiving electronic and/or electromagnetic signals of spectator data; and a memory having computer instructions executable by a processor configured to: generate data corresponding to a spectatable event having a variable game parameter, receive spectator data from a participant spectator of the spectatable event via the data communication device, wherein the spectator data is based on a physical activity and/or other activity of the participant spectator, and update the variable game parameter of the spectatable event based on the received spectator data in real time.

[0022] The subject disclosure provides a method of promoting physical exercise activity of a participant spectator comprises: providing a spectatable event having a variable game parameter(s); providing a data communication device for transmitting and/or receiving electronic and/or electromagnetic signals of spectator data; receiving spectator data from a participant spectator of the spectatable event via the data communication device, wherein the spectator data is based on a physical exercise activity of the participant spectator; and updating the variable game parameter of the spectatable event based on the spectator data from the participant spectator.

[0023] In exemplary embodiments, a method or apparatus includes providing and playing a game and/or competition where spectators, in person (e.g., in the stands of a stadium) and/or in remote locations anywhere in the world can participate, influence, impact and alter the outcome of the game as a result of the energy that is generated by the participant spectators physically exercising, moving, playing online games, cheering verbally, generating noise with noisemakers, and/or other actions related to the game, while player combatants are playing the game and/or at other times. The energy is generated using energy-generating and energy collecting devices, cheering, noise-making, playing musical instruments, playing sports, exercising and competing and/or playing any type of competition, and/or by playing computer/video games. The energy is then stored, recorded, transferred/transmitted, and received via energy storing, recording, transferring, transmitting, and receiving devices to manipulate the outcome of the game.

[0024] In other exemplary embodiments, the systems and methods utilize the involvement and contribution of cheerleaders and coaching staff in energy generation and use. Similar to how cheerleaders encourage in person spectators to perform a physical activity (e.g., make noise) and/or generate energy, the systems and methods allow some cheerleaders to encourage remote spectators to perform a physical activity and/or generate energy, for example, by distributing various content configured to entice those remote spectators into making noise and/or completing an exercise routine. In some embodiments, the systems and methods may be utilized to communicate personalized content configured to entice a specific spectator to perform a physical activity and/or generate energy. The systems and methods described herein may be configured to automate the distribution of personalized content without cheerleader involvement.

[0025] The spectatable event includes two teams each having at least one player playing a game to win. The variable game parameter includes at least one value establishing the rules of the game, for example the position and size of the strike zone, number of outs per inning, number of strikes required to strike out, the number of balls to walk, number of innings per game, game etiquette, a position of a goal, a change in an obstacle of the game, a change in game field condition, a movement of an object of the game, a game plan, an offensive game plan, a defensive game plan and/or the like. The variable game parameter is updated upon reaching a predetermined threshold value of generated energy and/or the like. The physical exercise activity may involve an aerobic exercise and/or a muscular strengthening exercise and/or talking, cheering, noisemaking, chanting, singing and/or music making, and/or the like. The data communication device is configured to receive spectator data from the spectator device, which may be a smart phone, smart watch and/or an exercise equipment device and/or the like. The method further comprises outputting to the participant spectator of a winner of a portion of the spectatable event or of the completed spectatable event, and spectator data analytics.

[0026] Accordingly, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide the experience of turning spectators into active participants in the game, i.e., participant spectators, e.g., spectators that are viewing and/or participating in the game for purposes of influencing the outcome of the game. Being a participant spectator combines the thinking, efforts, memory, psychology, physical efforts, emotional efforts, energy, skill, strength, ability, communication, cheering, knowledge, teamwork, and/or other characteristics of a direct combatant player of the game and the thinking, memory, psychology, physical efforts, emotional efforts, cognitive efforts, energy, skill, strength, ability, communication, cheering, knowledge, teamwork, and other characteristics of a spectator of the game, which can result in the combatant players feeling closer to the participant spectators, and/or can result in the participant spectators feeling closer to the combatant players and/or can result in the participant spectators feeling closer to each other. It combines the thinking, memory, psychology, physical efforts, emotional efforts, energy, skill, strength, ability, communication, cheering, knowledge, teamwork, and other characteristics of any entities associated with the game, for example, spectators, cheerleaders, player combatants, judges, coaches, and/or the like. Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide the experience of making it more likely that participant spectators will exercise and/or produce game energy while observing games. Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide the experience of making it more likely that player combatants will perform better as a result of the activity of the participant. Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure provide the experience of making it more likely that participant spectators cheerleaders, player combatants, judges, coaches, and/or the like will all contribute to participant spectators feeling and/or themselves feeling social connection and/or a sense of community.

[0027] In another embodiment, the methods and systems allow multiple participant spectators in the game venue (e.g., stadium, arena, field, etc.) and/or in remote or virtual locations to actively participate, influence, impact, affect and/or alter the outcome of the game by generating energy e.g., through exercise and/or other physical and/or mental activity. As such, the game provides for and/or promotes the physical and mental health and conditioning of the participant spectators and/or any entities viewing and/or participating in the game.

[0028] In another embodiment, the methods and systems involve participant spectators, players, cheerleaders, coaching staff, judges, and/or any other entity associated with the game in energy generation and storing, recording, transferring, transmitting, and receiving of game play energy to affect the outcome of the game.

[0029] In another embodiment, the methods and systems improve energy generation by promoting the production of noise, singing, chanting, music, social connection, a sense of community and/or physical, emotional, and/or cognitive processes by supportive and cheering fans, participant spectators, and/or any other entity viewing and/or participating in the game on the field of play, in the stands and/or in remote locations. In another embodiment, the methods and systems promote the supportive and cheering fans, participant spectators, and/or any other entity viewing or participating in the game on the field of play, in the stands and/or in remote locations to partake in influencing the outcome of the game and/or generate energy. In another embodiment, the methods and systems promote the supportive and cheering fans, participant spectators, and/or any other entity viewing or participating in the game, on the field of play, in the stands and/or in remote locations to transmit game energy to impact the outcome of the game.

[0030] Fig. 1 illustrates a system and associated method for game play management that may be influenced by spectator activity. The system and associated method may be used for promoting physical activity by an individual spectator or group of spectators for a spectatable event. The spectatable event can be one or more games, competitions, and/or events in which outside participation can be and/or is desirable to influence the outcome of the game (hereinafter “game”), in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. At least one example of the spectatahle event includes two teams, each having at least one player playing a game to win. The variable game parameter may further define gameplay for the spectator event by setting e.g., a position of a goal, a change in an obstacle of the game, a movement of an object of the game, a game plan, an offensive game plan, a defensive game plan, a rule of the game, a strike zone, field dimensions, net position, number of players, number of balls or playing objects, number of goals, and/or coaching activity and/or the like.

[0033] In an embodiment, as illustrated in Fig. 1, methods and systems for providing playing the game includes one and/or more entities that are associated with and/or participate in the game. In embodiments, the one and/or more entities can include one or more of player combatants 11 (offensive player combatants 2, and/or defensive player combatants 3), an individual of the spectatable event e.g., participant spectator(s) 4 or Participant Spectators of Special Interest (PSOSI) 7, fans not affiliated with either or any of the teams that are actively playing, player coaches and/or staff 9, spectator coaches and/or staff 12, cheerleaders 13, judges 16, and/or referees 17. In embodiments, the player combatants 11 can include offensive player combatants 2, and/or defensive player combatants 3.

[0034] Participant spectators not affiliated with the home or visiting team and/or teams - known as participant spectators of special interest (PSOSI) 7 can apportion their game energy (an example of spectator data, as further discussed below) to one or more teams’ defense and/or offense. In embodiments, an entity associated with the game, e.g., player combatants 11 (offensive player combatants 2, and/or defensive player combatants 3), participant spectators 4, player coaches and/or staff 9, spectator coaches and/or staff 12, cheerleaders 13, judges 16, and/or referees 17, can be controlled by, impacted by, manipulated by, or influenced by one another and/or by one or more participant spectators through the application of game energy. In embodiments, an entity associated with the game, e.g. , player combatants 11 (offensive player combatants 2, and/or defensive player combatants 3), participant spectators 4, player coaches and/or staff 9, spectator coaches and/or staff 12, cheerleaders 13, judges 16, and/or referees 17 can also generate game energy and apportion their game energy to one or more teams’ defense and/or offense. In some embodiments, an entity associated with the game, e.g., player combatants 11 (offensive player combatants 2, and/or defensive player combatants 3), participant spectators 4, player coaches and/or staff 9, spectator coaches and/or staff 12, cheerleaders 13, judges 16, and/or referees 17, can transfer at least a portion of their apportioned game energy to another entity associated with the game.

[0035] In embodiments, a computing device (e.g., computer system 200 as depicted in Fig. 2) may represent a specific capacity of game energy in the form of one or more integer values. There are a number of ways an entity can generate game energy and participate in the game, for example, by directly inputting the one or more integer values into the computing device, triggering generation of a pre-determined amount of game energy, and/or sending one or more digitized signals (e.g., electro-magnetic signals) via one or more devices (e.g., sensors). The computing device may be configured to convert the one or more digitized signals into the one or more integer value(s) according to a mathematical model or formula. Thus, the computing device may quantify the game energy being generated by participant spectator(s) 4, 7 and then, use that quantified game energy to modify a game parameter, thereby effecting the game play in some manner.

[0036] In embodiments, the game can be played by player combatants 11 on the playing field 1 and participant spectators 4, 7 either in the stands and/or in remote locations. As used herein, player combatant 11 refers to an entity, real-world and/or virtual, that is engaged and/or involved in actions of the game. As used herein, a participant spectator 4, 7 refers to an entity, real-world and/or virtual, that observes the game and is involved in the game to potentially influence, impact, alter and/or affect the outcome of the game.

[00101] In embodiments, all the actions under the direction of the spectator coaches 12, the player coaches 9, the cheerleaders 13, the participant spectators, and/or any other entities associated with the game can be converted into game play energy that, can be used directly by the offensive player combatant or combatants, defensive player combatant or combatants, participant spectators and/or any entity associated with the game to do among the following, but not limited to move the virtual, digital, real, holographic and/or other types of goals 8; move the real and/or virtual ball, disc, puck or energy capsule and/or other playing object 5; move, raise, or lower a variety of obstacles on the playing field 1 and/or above and/or near the playing field; raise a real, virtual, digital, and/or holographic goal into a place on the playing field and/or above or near the playing field; move obstacles that might interfere with play on and/or onto and/or near the playing field; or move, change, or manipulate a variety of natural-type obstacles such as water from sprinklers to represent rain or wet conditions and wind generating fans to represent wind interference on the playing field, temperature changes, sunlight, glare, darkness, light and/or the like and/or above, on and/or near the playing field; prevent and/or hinder any or all of the above; and/or any type of actions associated with the game and/or affect, alter, impact and/or influence any type of actions associated with the game according to the rules of the game.

[00102] In embodiments, all the actions under the direction of the spectator coaches 12, the player coaches 9, the cheerleaders 13, the participant spectators 4, 7, and/or any other entities associated with the game can be converted into game play energy that can be used directly and/or by the player combatant defense and/or offense to do among the following, but not limited to move the virtual, digital, real, holographic goals, and/or other types of goals 8; move the real and/or virtual ball, disc, puck and/or energy capsule and/or other playing object 5; move, raise, or lower a variety of obstacles on the playing field 1 ; raise a real, virtual, digital, and/or holographic goal into a place on the playing field and/or above or near the playing field; move obstacles that might interfere with play on and/or near the playing field and/or above and/or near the playing field; or move, change, or manipulate a variety of natural-type obstacles such as, but not limited to, water from sprinklers to represent rain or wet conditions and wind generating fans to represent wind interference on the playing field, temperature changes , sunlight, glare, darkness, light and/or the like and/or above, on and/or near the playing field; assist, promote, prevent and/or hinder any or all of the above; and/or assist, promote, prevent and/or hinder any type of actions associated with the game.

[00103] In embodiments, some or all of the actions, under the direction of the spectator coaches 12, the player coaches 9, the cheerleaders 13, the participant spectators 4, and/or any entity associated with the game can be converted into audible cheering; used to generate noise; and/or to interfere with the production or generation of noise.

[00104] In embodiments, the in-person and/or the remote spectator participants 4, 7 can have access to their spectator coaching staff 12 and/or team for direction as to how to manipulate (/'.<?. , a coaching influence) the field to improve defensive or offensive positioning, scoring opportunities, player alignment, and the like. Coaching influence can be applied through game play energy by the coaching staff, the spectator participants, and/or any other entity associated with the game to influence the outcome of the game.

[00105] In embodiments, the in-person and/or the remote spectator participants 4, 7 and/or the spectator coaching staff and/or anyone else associated with the game can use game play energy to access magnetic force and/or electromagnetic factors and or any other forces or factors or the like to move the virtual and/or real playing object and/or objects and/or any entity associated with the game 5 in a certain way. For example, magnetic or electromagnetic factors can be found within or around the following: virtual or real playing object 5; the playing field or parts thereof; the obstacles; the stadium; the maze; the goals; the walls of the playing field; the cheerleaders; the player combatants; and/or any other aspect of the game if the virtual or real playing objects are magnetized and/or the player combatants and/or other entities associated with the game are wearing magnetized shoes, clothing and/or equipment.

[00106] In embodiments, game play factors can be applied that helps and/or hinders players from moving freely across, forward and back, above and/or below the field, and/or up and down the field. For example, players combatants 11 can be wearing magnetic or electromagnetic uniforms and/or other restricting devices, and/or a wearable and/or wearables now available and/or to be designed. Magnetic energy and/or other process may be used to pull, push, and/or prevent the movement of players in certain directions, and/or in any direction, hindering, and/or abetting player progress. In embodiments, wearables and/or other devices may be used to affect the movement of players and/or any entity associated with the game and/or to measure, record, transfer and/or transmit energy according to the rules of the game.

[00107] In embodiments, game play factors can be applied that may help and/or hinder the playing objects 5, e.g., the ball, disc, puck, and/or energy capsule, from moving freely across, forward and back, and/or up and down the field. For example, playing objects 5, e.g. , the ball, disc, puck, and/or energy capsule, and/or the like can be impregnated with or contain magnetic or electromagnetic material, and magnetic energy or some other process may be used to pull, push, and/or prevent the movement of the playing objects 5 in certain directions, hindering or abetting the movement and progress of the playing objects 5 and/or any entity associated with the game.

[00108] In embodiments, the participant spectators 4, 7 can be identified with e.g. affiliated with, connected with, associated with, and/or the like with either one of the two teams and/or more teams on the playing field, and/or the participant spectators of special interest PSOSI 7 are affiliated with their own team that is not presently on the field or the participant spectators may be fans of the sport and not affiliated with any team - PFANS. In embodiments, the participant spectators 4, 7 can be identified with one team in the league and may only be allowed to change affiliations at certain times during the season and during the off-season. In embodiments, PFANS can apportion their game play energy to any entity associated with the game. In embodiments, participant spectators can be under contract with a coach, a player, a team and/or the like.

[00109] In embodiments, the participant spectators 4, 7 can have different abilities to influence the various variable game parameters based on the rules of the game. In embodiments, players may be rated by a handicapped system (i.e., an exemplary game play factor) that adjusts their game play energy output according to age, skill, experience, equipment, type of exercise, movement, noise production, computer game ability, and/or participation/involvement in other aspects of the game and/or according to some other aspect of the game and/or characteristic. In embodiments, a participant spectator’s game energy production and/or game energy use or the game energy production and/or game energy use of any entity associated with the game can be affected by that entities’ handicap with and/or without associated wagering.

[00110] In embodiments, the production and or use of game energy by any entity associated with the game can affect the wagering odds of the game or of an aspect of the game according to the rules of the game. The game energy generated can be used to affect a wager related to the game (e.g., a bet made at a physical casino, a bet taken over the Internet, and/or the like), according to any, or all of the following: a predetermined formula; a predetermined contract; a formula generated solely on the performance of one, and or more than one of the entities associated with the game; and/or a formula generated on the performance of one in or more than one entities associate with the game based upon previous performance. [00111] In embodiments, for example, the game can be played in outdoor or indoor stadiums, arenas, and/or venues, e.g., constructed indoors either on top of a hockey rink and/or basketball court. For instance, the playing field in indoor stadiums may be the size of a hockey rink, e.g., about 200’ x 85’. The field may have glass walls and/or acrylic walls, without or without the ability to transmit, amplify and/or reduce the noise, up to 3 or 4 stories high or higher or lower i.e., less than 1 foot, 1 to 100 feet, to more than 100 feet, to ensure that the ball may be reflected or deflected i.e., played off the wall or played over the wall. There may be players on each of the multiple horizontal floors of activity, with each floor approximately 10 to 20 feet higher and/or less than 10 feet to more than and/or less than 20 feet higher than the floor below and possibly not covering the entire surface above the ground level playing floor so there can be movement between the different floors of play. In embodiments, the game can be played while teams and/or by player coaches, spectator coaches, cheerleaders, players, spectators and/or any entity associated with the game are in a the same and/or different location or locations.

[00112] In embodiments, the multiple playing floor layers on which players are located can be made of a transparent, translucent, solid, and/or invisible material and/or force and/or the like (i.e., an exemplary game play factor). The layers can be designed to allow for the players 11 to climb onto/up to the upper levels of play or down to the lower layers of play. Players can also be able to climb up and/or to fall off the walls and/or off of layers of the field of play onto lower layers without injuring themselves. The players can be tethered and/or have jet packs and/or with other ways to control horizontal and/or vertical positioning, and/or positioning anywhere and/or positioning in any dimension, time and/or space. The ground floor and/or the playing field can be hardwood, soft, and/or trampoline material and/or other material that allows for a bounce and/or for a rebound. In one embodiment, the ground floor and/or the playing field and/or the other floors and/or walls can be made of any solid, liquid, gaseous material, and/or magnetic/electromagnetic material. In one embodiment the ground floor and other floors and/or walls and/or playing field can be real, digital, and/or virtual. In one embodiment the ground floor and/or other floors and/or walls and/or playing field can be made of animal, vegetable, and/or mineral material. In one embodiment the ground floor and/or other floors and/or walls and/or playing field are static. In one embodiment the ground floor and/or other floors and/or walls and/or playing field are dynamic, moving, and/or flowing. In one embodiment the ground floor and/or other floors and/or playing field and/or walls are static and/or dynamic, moving, and/or flowing. [00113] In embodiments, the players can be equipped with jet packs and/or other sources of energy that may be activated at various times. In embodiments, the players may be equipped with jet packs and/or other sources to assist with movement that may be activated as a result of actions generated by their own teams’ participant spectators 4, 7. In embodiments, the players 11 may be equipped with jet packs or other sources of energy generation devices that may be activated as a result of game play energy generated by their opponents’ teams’ participant spectators 4 in an effort to disrupt that player or those players’ ability to succeed. In embodiments, the players can also be equipped with other types of devices and apparatus that assist and/or limit the movement of the players. In embodiments, the jet packs and/or other devices and/or other sources to assist with movement and/or affect movement can be activated and/or controlled by any entity associated with the game, e.g., participant spectators 4, player coaches and/or staff 9, spectator coaches and/or staff 12, cheerleaders 13, judges 16, and/or referees 17.

[001 14] In embodiments, certain parts of the playing field can he specifically devoted to being gender specific, e.g., just for females and/or just for transgender individuals, to set up competition amongst individual players. Participant spectators 4, 7 may direct their energies toward manipulating that section of the field or any particular section either under the direction of spectator coaches 12, cheerleaders, player combatants, and/or other participants, and/or independently.

[001 15] In embodiments, the game play energy that any of the entities associated with the game, e.g. , participant spectators 4, player coaches and/or staff 9, spectator coaches and/or staff 12, cheerleaders 13, judges 16, and/or referees 17, and/or others can generate may be distributed slowly, may be distributed as it is generated, may be saved and distributed as a bolus, and/or may be generated and/or distributed according to the objectives and/or rules of the game, for impacting or influencing variable game parameters.

[001 16] In embodiments, the playing field 1 can include walls at the far ends of the playing field and/or around the entire playing field. The wall can be utilized to keep the playing object and/or objects 5 in play. In embodiments, the walls can be constructed of glass, plastic, any other type of material, and/or combinations. In embodiments, the walls can be formed by game play energy, energy and/or forces, for example, magnetic fields and/or electromagnetic fields. The walls around the entire playing field may be a digital computer screen and/or barriers to keep the ball in play. The walls can be transparent and/or semi-transparent and/or virtual computer screens so that spectators behind the screen can see both the play as it is occurring on the field and/or also see what is being digitally posted on the glass. In one embodiment, the walls, barriers, endlines, sidelines goals, playing field and/or any of the parts of the game and/or parts of the field of play and/or the like, are static, move and/or can be moved as a result of game energy and/or according to the objectives and/or rules of the game.

[001 17] In embodiments, the playing field 1 can include moveable digital and/or real goals at both ends of the field, digital and/or goals below the playing surface, on the playing surface, and/or above the playing surface and/or digital, virtual and/or real goals at other locations. Each goal can be separately and/or collectively controlled by spectator coaches 12, the player coaches 9, the cheerleaders 13, the participant spectators 4, and/or the player combatants 11, and/or any entity involved in the game.

[001 18] In embodiments, the computer screen and/or other display devices that are used and/or viewed by any participants and any other entity associated with the game can contain the digital, virtual, and/or real goal, goal line, goal post, scoring objective and/or the like according to the rules of the game that can be manipulated by the offense’s participant spectators. In embodiments, the computer screen and/or other display devices can contain the digital, virtual, and/or real goal, goal line, goal post, scoring objective and/or the like according to the rules of the game that can be manipulated by the defense’s participant spectators. In embodiments, the computer screen and/or other display devices can contain the digital, virtual, and/or real goal, goal line, goal post, scoring objective and/or the like that can be manipulated by the offense’s and/or the defense’s participant spectators and/or the PSOSI and/or other entities associated with the game according to the rules of the game 7. In embodiments, the computer screen and/or other display devices can contain the digital, virtual, and/or real goal, goal line, goal post, scoring objective and/or the like that can be manipulated by the offense and the defense participant spectators and the PSOSI according to the rules of the game 7. In embodiments, the computer screen and/or other display devices can contain the digital, real and/or virtual goal, goal line, scoring objective and/or the like and/or a digital, virtual, and/or real defensive blocker and/or blockers according to the rules of the game. In embodiments, the digital, virtual, and/or real goal, goal line, scoring objective and/or the like and/or a digital virtual, and/or real defensive blocker and/or any entity associated with the game can be manipulated and moved by any of the entities associated with the game, e.g. , player combatants 11 (offensive player combatants 2, and/or defensive player combatants 3), participant spectators 4, player coaches and/or staff 9, spectator coaches and/or staff 12, cheerleaders 13, judges 16, referees 17, and/or any other entities associated with the game, according to the rules of the game. In embodiments, the digital, virtual, and/or real offensive assistant and/or assistants and/or any entity associated with the game can be manipulated and moved by any of the entities associated with the game, e.g., player combatants 11 (offensive player combatants 2, and/or defensive player combatants 3), participant spectators 4, player coaches and/or staff 9, spectator coaches and/or staff 12, cheerleaders 13, judges 16, referees 17, and/or any other entities associated with the game, according to the rules of the game.

[00119] In embodiments, these variable parameters can apply to any sport and/or game. In embodiments, the goals 8 can be actual, virtual, holographic, and/or digital. In embodiments, there can be any number of goals 8 of any size, shape, and/or position. In embodiments, player combatants 11 (offensive player combatants 2, and/or defensive player combatants 3), participant spectators 4, player coaches and/or staff 9, spectator coaches and/or staff 12, cheerleaders 13, judges 16, referees 17, and/or any other entities associated with the game can be actual, virtual, holographic, and/or digital. In embodiments, the goals 8 can be physically, digitally, holographically, and/or virtually and/or the like present on the playing field, in the playing field positioned on the back wall, positioned on a computer screen, and/or positioned in some other place or in some other way. In embodiments, the goals 8 can also be digitally, holographically, virtually, and/or physically placed at a distance from the back wall so that player combatants 11 can play behind the goal, e.g., the way an ice hockey goal has room behind it for players to maneuver, with or without a playing object. The player combatants and any other entity associated with the game can interact with the playing object using bare hands, their feet, their heads, holding gloves, sticks, bats, and/or the like and/or other devices and/or body parts and/or telepathically and/or likewise according to the rules of the game to move, score, defend and/or the like the playing object 5 and/or any other entity associated with the game.

[00120] In embodiments, the goal and/or other variable parameters may or may not be fixed in one place. The actual, virtual, holographic, or digital goal 8 can be purposely moved through the input of the participant spectators 4, 7 and/or any other entities associated with the game who may coordinate their individual and collective energies through a spectator coaching staff 12 devoted to maximizing the value and/or usage of energy input provided by the participant spectators into the game plan or strategy. The participant spectator coaching staff and/or any entity associated with the game coordinates with the player coaching staff 9 and/or any entity associated with the game to manipulate the field, e.g., by moving the goal, adjusting the field, and/or positioning the players on the field, and/or the like according to the rules of the game.

[00121] In embodiments, the playing objects 5, for example, ball, disc, puck, and/or energy capsule, real, digital, virtual, holographic, and/or any other object, can be put into play at the beginning of play, after a goal is scored, after certain types of fouls in several different ways, after timeouts, and/or at any other time during the game. For instance, the playing object 5 can be put into play by first physically passing the ball through the participant spectators 4, 7 in attendance who work together to get the playing objects 5 to a specific but potentially ever- changing entry to the field of play so that play between the player combatants can begin.

[00122] In embodiments, in-house participant spectators can help launch the playing objects 5 directly onto the field of play and/or participant spectators (in-house and remote) may help propel the ball through a maze and/or obstacle course and/or the like onto the field of play. The playing objects 5 can be put in play by traveling through a real maze and/or obstacle course and/or the like located in the stadium or a virtual maze located in the stadium or elsewhere before reaching the player combatants 11. The playing objects 5 can be dropped into the stands and/or onto the field of play or into play and/or the like from the maze and/or from the like. When the playing object and/or objects e.g., a ball is or balls are in the maze and/or the like it can be navigated by the actions of the coaches, cheerleaders, participant spectators, player combatants and/or any entity associated with the game. In an example, the playing objects 5 can be launched into the stands, the maze and/or into the obstacle course and/or the like through a spring-loaded device just the way a pin ball enters the pinball playing field through a spring-loaded trigger. In an example, the traveling of the playing objects 5 through the maze to gain entry to the field of play may be preferred by the visiting team spectators as they may primarily have a remote presence and perhaps be less able to get the ball onto the playing field through the participant spectators that are in the stadium. Each team may have one or more playing objects 5 in the maze and one or more playing objects, e.g., balls in the stands.

[00123] In embodiments, the team can choose their preferred method of their playing objects 5 potential entry onto the field of play. When one of the team’s playing objects 5 enters the playing field, the other team’s and/or teams’ playing object(s) 5 may or may not still be active. In embodiments, there may be a limit on the time advantage one team can have for their playing objects 5 to be in play while the other team’s playing object(s) 5 is still in the stands in the maze, and/or the like. Once that time advantage has been achieved, the other team’s playing objects 5 may automatically be brought through the maze and/or the stands onto the playing field and put into play. The playing objects 5 can be launched or brought onto the playing field to a position predetermined by the coaches to optimize the advantage to the player combatants. The game can be any digital interactive spectator sport, game or activity in which spectators, players and or any entity associated with the game can participate that increases physical activity, increases community, and/or increases socialization among spectators, players and/or any entity associated with the game.

[00124] In embodiments, some measure of home court advantage, disadvantage, and/or no advantage may be determined by the decibel level of participant spectator and/or any other entity associated with the game cheering and/or noise making at their home field and/or venue and/or the like. Cheering, encouragement, noise and the like has been shown to help players and actors in venues perform better and/or worse and therefore participant spectators and/or player combatants and/or any entity associated with the game may perform better and/or worse as a result of noise generated. That in-house participant spectator decibel level and/or any entity associated with the game could be compared directly to the decibel level production per spectator of visiting team cheering and/or visiting team noisemaking and/or by some other measure to give an advantage or disadvantage and/or no advantage or disadvantage to those with more vocal spectators overall, more vocal spectator participants in-house or a greater number of participant spectators in-house and/or remote and/or according to some other formula.

[00125] In embodiments, the noise delivered in the stadium can be directly related to the noise generated in the stadium. In embodiments, the noise delivered into the stadium can be directly and/or indirectly related to the noise generated remotely according to the rules of the game. In embodiments, the noise delivered to remote locations can be directly and/or indirectly related to the noise generated in the stadium and/or in other locations according to the rules of the game. In embodiments, the noise delivered into the stadium can be directly related to a combination of the noise generated in the stadium and generated remotely. In embodiments, the noise delivered into the stadium can directly result in energy given to and/or taken from one or more the teams and/or other entities associated with the game. In embodiments, the chanting, singing, music and/or noise delivered into the stadium and/or generated in the stadium and/or elsewhere can be converted to game energy and/or can be directly related to a specific effect on the players, an impact, influence and/or effect on the game, on any entity associated with the game and/or on the outcome of the game, i.e., the chanting, music, and/or singing related to the desire of the participant spectators and/or other entities associated with the game for a specific outcome may make it more likely that a specific outcome, influence and/or effect may occur. Cheering and songs sung together by fans and/or music played may enhance fan identity, may enhance a sense of belonging, may decrease social isolation and/or encourage participant spectators to exercise more and/or make more noise and/or sing more and/or create more game energy.

[00126] Further, cheerleaders 13 can be present around the stadium to lead the spectators in song, music, noise-making and cheer, encouraging teamwork, support, and/or encourage more exercise, singing, noise making and the like among the spectators and/or other entities associated with the game. Cheerleaders 13 can receive energy from participant spectators and or other entities associated with the game that they can use to move themselves around the field, to move more quickly around the field, and/or to jump higher, further, longer, and/or the like in an effort to get their participant spectators to be more involved and/or to make more noise, cheering, music, to sing specific chants, songs, and/or cheers, to generate more energy, and/or to win at computer games and/or to generate more game energy.

[00127] Participant spectators 4, 7 in the stadium can choose for their noisemaker machines 18 to generate energy and/or noise. Remote participant spectators can determine how to apportion their energy and noise. They can choose for their noisemaking, their noisemaker machines, and/or their cheering to generate energy to he used to affect the outcome of the game and/or to influence the game on the playing field or to generate noise in the stadium, and/or to generate a combination of energy and noise in any combination they desire and/or to be used in any way they desire.

[00128] Cheerleaders 13 can be involved in leading in-house and/or remote participant spectators 4, 7 in song, cheers, to generate noise and/or to make music. In another embodiment, some measure of advantage, disadvantage, and/or no advantage may be determined by the decibel level of noise generated by participant spectators 4, 7 and/or any other entity associated with the game at the visiting field, home field or venue and/or the like. In another embodiment, some measure of advantage, disadvantage, and/or no advantage may be determined by the decibel level of noise generated by participant spectators 4, 7 and/or any other entity associated with the game at remote locations and/or the like. [00129] Cheerleaders 13 either real or virtual can be involved in encouraging in-house and/or remote participant spectators 4, 7 to start/continue generating game energy (e.g., at a faster rate) by way of some physical activity. In one embodiment, some measure of home court advantage, disadvantage, and/or no advantage may be determined by the level of energy generated directly from exercising by participant spectators 4, 7 and/or any other entity associated with the game at a home field/venue, a visiting field/venue, a remote location, and/or the like. In another embodiment, cheerleader(s) 13 may have routed, to a specific participant spectator 4, 7, personalized content encouraging that participant spectator to start/continue exercising, singing chanting, and/or making noise to generate game energy.

[00130] In embodiments, some participant spectators 4,7 may or may not be exercising and/or playing digital games, but their game energy to help their team may be solely, partially, and/or fully determined by their loudness, clarity of vocal participation, the production of music and/or involvement with the team cheers. Energy generation devices 6 can be utilized for energy generation as a result of the efforts of cheerleaders’ 13 moves, enthusiasm, teamwork, and/or the successful encouragement of the participant fans. The energy can be released for use as it is generated and/or saved for later use. Cheering, encouragement, noise and the like has been shown to help players and actors in venues perform better and therefore participant spectators and player combatants may perform better as a result of noise generated. Remote participant spectators can choose for their noisemaking, their noisemaker machines, and/or their cheering to generate energy, to generate noise in the stadium, and/or to generate a combination of energy and noise in any combination they desire.

[00131] In embodiments, gambling, gambling odds, digital currency, and/or other types of financial activities can be incorporated into certain aspects of the play, including, but not limited to buying game play energy, betting on the outcome of plays, betting on the performance of player combatants, enhancing and/or worsening the performance of any entity associated with the game e.g., participant spectators (including themselves), and/or the outcome of the game and/or buying methods and/or equipment to enhance or detract from the performance according to the rules of the game. In embodiments, game play energy from exercise, cheering, noise making and/or the like can affect gambling, digital currency, and other types of financial activities that can be incorporated into certain aspects of the play, including, but not limited to buying game play energy, betting on the outcome of plays, betting on the performance of player combatants, enhancing and/or worsening the performance of any entity associated with the game e.g., participant spectators (including themselves), and/or the outcome of the game and/or buying methods and/or equipment to enhance or detract from the performance according to the rules of the game. In embodiments, participant spectators, PSOSI, cheerleaders, player combatants and coaches, and/or other entities may or may not bet against the team to which they are affiliated, themselves, and/or aspects their own teams’ play. In embodiments, referees and judges may or may not be able to bet on any team in the league during their tenure as an approved referee and/or judge depending on schedules, rules, etc.

[00132] In embodiments, judges can be incorporated into certain aspects of the play that require independent third-party judgment for the activities. For example, judges can be used to determine when certain parts of the electromagnetic and/or magnetic floor and/or forces and/or the like, goals, and/or obstacles may be activated so that all and/or some of those on the playing field may be prevented and/or detained from moving and/or have their movement enhanced while all those at elevation may or may not have their movements be detained, prevented and/or enhanced. For safety reasons and/or according to the rules of the game, a warning might be given to player combatants to prevent injuries that might occur were they to be electromagnetically suddenly stopped from moving without warning were the electromagnetic charge on the field to be activated without warning and/or where they to be suddenly moved without warning. Participant spectators, cheerleaders, coaches, and/or any entity associated with the game may all be given advanced notification of this type of magnetic stoppage of play when the electromagnetic charge on the field is to be activated to help with their strategy and to help the player combatants avoid injury and develop a strategy around the time that play will be stopped, started and/or resumed. Participant spectators, cheerleaders, coaches, and/or any entity associated with the game may all be able to determine when certain parts of the electromagnetic or magnetic floor, goals, obstacles and/or other variable parameter of the game may be activated so that all or some of those on the playing field and/or some of the playing objects may be prevented or detained from moving or have their movement enhanced while all those at elevation above the field of play may or may not be detained from moving and/or have their movement enhanced. In embodiments, judges can be incorporated into any and all aspects of play that may or may not require independent third-party judgment.

[00133] While the entities above are described as having certain roles in the game and/or any game, the entities can switch roles, share roles, and/or have multiple roles. For example, in embodiments, player combatants, participant spectators, coaches, cheerleaders, referees, judges, and/or anyone else associated with the game can exchange roles, responsibilities, energy generating ability and/or benefits. In embodiments, the player combatants, participant spectators, coaches, cheerleaders, referees, judges, and/or anyone else associated with the game can assume one or more roles, responsibilities, energy generating ability, and/or benefits of the game.

[00134] In embodiments, the game can apply to any game. In embodiments, game energy can be used for any game activity including e-sports. In embodiments, the entities associated with the game can be participating in and/or associated with an e-sport event. The entities playing esports can fully or partially gain tokens, weapons, points, victory, energy and/or other benefits and/or the like and/or penalties and/or the like according to the rules of the game by their own exercising, cheering, noise making, music making and/or the playing computer games, and/or playing virtual games, board games, video games, on-line games and/or fantasy games and/or the like and/or from energy generated through their teammates who are exercising, cheering, noise making, music making, and/or the playing of computer games and/or playing virtual games, board games, video games, on-line games and/or fantasy games and/or the like. In embodiments, players playing esports can fully or partially gain tokens, weapons, points, victory, energy and/or other benefits and/or the like and/or penalties and/or the like according to the rules of the game from participant spectators and/or other entities associated with the game who are exercising, cheering, noisemaking and/or playing a game on a computer, and/or playing virtual games, board games, video games, on-line games and/or fantasy games and/or the like.

[00135] In embodiments, the entities associated with a game can be participating in an e-sport, and/or associated with any Olympic sport and/or e-sport event such as archery, baseball, chess, cycling, dance, motor sport, rowing sailing, and/or taekwondo and/or any other type of event, whether virtual, real-world, and combination thereof. For example, in embodiments, individuals and/or teams of players on spin cycles, stationary bicycles and/or other exercise equipment or the like and/or exercising and/or cheering and/or noise making and/or playing on a computer, can combine the individual, individuals, team, and/or teams game energy generated to compete against the other individuals and/or teams in any type of board game, real games, sports competition, virtual games and/or fantasy games and the like and/or any individual and/or group activity, and/or any individual and/or group athletic activity and/or competition where spectator involvement is desirable and/or able to be applied and/or where game energy could be added to the way a game and/or competition and/or the like is played and/or scored. In embodiments, gambling, gambling odds, digital currency, and/or other types of financial activities can be incorporated into certain aspects of the play of esports and/or any game, including, but not limited to buying game play energy, betting on the outcome of plays, betting on the performance of player combatants, enhancing and/or worsening the performance of any entity associated with the game e.g., participant spectators (including themselves), and/or the outcome of the game and/or buying methods and/or equipment to enhance or detract from the performance according to the rules of the game.

[00136] In embodiments, one or more exercise equipment and devices for providing spectator data can provide both aerobic exercise, anaerobic exercise, and/or musclestrengthening exercise. For example, an entity associated with the game can generate energy by pedaling a stationary bicycle, forward and/or backward. Additionally, the stationary bicycle can generate energy through the movement of the handlebars. For example, the handlebars can swivel clockwise and counterclockwise, move up and down, move side to side, and/or move forward and backward. Additionally, for example, the handlebars can provide resistance during movement for muscle strengthening through hydraulics, resistance, weight stacks, magnetic and/or electromagnetic resistance, springs, levers, pulleys, bands and/or the like, in any and all directions. All components of the stationary bicycle including, but not limited to, the wheels, handlebars, peddles, crank shaft, seat, seat post and stem, frame, hub and spokes, and/or the like can be free to move and/or have resistance applied to the movement in any and all directions through hydraulics, resistance, weight stacks, magnetic and/or electromagnetic resistance, springs, levers, pulleys, bands and/or the like. As such, the stationary bicycle can provide aerobic exercise, anaerobic exercise and/or musclestrengthening exercises. The direction of pedaling and the direction of the handlebars can be converted into specific game energy and/or movement in the present time and dimension and/or anywhere in time and/or space. The stationary bicycle can also be equipped with a controller to specifically control the use of game energy. In embodiments, exercise equipment e.g., treadmills, elliptical trainers, climbers, rowing machines and/or the like, can generate energy that can be used for any purpose according to the rules of the game and/or exercise equipment and/or the like can generate energy that specifically converts to forward and/or backward movement, side to side movement, clockwise and/or counterclockwise movement. The exercise equipment and/or the like can also be equipped with a controller to specifically control the use of game energy.

[00137] In one embodiment, each of the following muscle strengthening exercises would generate the same amount of game energy according to an example game energy calculation: lifting 200 pounds one time; lifting 100 pounds twice; lifting 2 pounds 100 times; lifting 11b . 200 times; and lifting 1/2 pound 400 times. In another embodiment, a distance each of these weights are lifted would factor into the conversion of exercise activity to game energy. In another embodiment, a time taken to lift this amount of weight would factor into the conversion of exercise activity to game energy. In another embodiment, an age of the participant spectator or any other entity associated with the game performing the exercise would be part of the conversion of exercise activity to game energy. In another embodiment, the previous performance and/or performances of the participant spectator or other entity associated with the game performing the exercise activity would factor into determining the absolute value of the conversion of exercise activity to game energy. In another embodiment, the rules of the game would be factored into the conversion of exercise activity to game energy. In another embodiment, any or all of the above factors and/or the like could be involved in determining the value of the game energy generated from lifting a weight, and or any other type of muscle strengthening, anaerobic or aerobic exercise.

[00138] In one embodiment, any of the following exercise activities would create game energy: running a marathon; running 1 mile; running 10 km; walking for one hour; walking for 15 minutes; riding a bicycle on a road bike; riding a mountain bicycle on an obstacle course; riding a spin bike during an exercise class; jumping rope for 10 minutes; jumping rope with a weighted rope; climbing stairs; performing calisthenics; etc. The amount of game energy generated by each of these activities could be determined by any or all of the following factors: the calories generated; the time taken to perform the exercise; the age of the person performing the exercise; the previous performances of the person performing the exercise; the role in the game of the person performing the exercise; the role of the recipient receiving the game energy; the recipient of the game energy; the events occurring during the game by other spectators, and or by any other entities associated with the game; whether the game energy is released in an ongoing way, or as a bolus of energy and or the like; and/or the like.

[00139] In embodiments, entities associated with the game, e.g., players and/or spectators can use exercise equipment and/or the like in a variety of locations on which they can register, score and/or store energy points i.e., provide spectator data. Exercise equipment can be found in gyms, fitness stores, and/or at any location. In embodiments, to promote cheering and noise making, the approved exercise equipment and noisemaking equipment that can generate game energy can be located within and/or outside of soundproof booths. The exercise equipment, noise-making equipment, and/or online games, virtual games, and/or board games, can be proprietary or non-proprietary. [00140] While the game and/or any and/or all aspects of the game is described above in examples including one or more teams competing to score goals, the game can include any type of activity and any number of teams and/or any number of entities associated with the game. While the game is described above in examples including one or more teams competing to score goals, the game can include any type of activity and any number of teams associated with any number of other entities who can create game energy that can be used to influence, impact and/or affect the game and/or the outcome of the game. In embodiments, individual players, teams of players and/or spectators can compete against each other by using the game energy they generate using exercise equipment and/or cheering and/or noise making and/or playing on a computer in a tug-of-war game and/or in any competition and/or esport. In embodiments, individual players, teams of players, and/or spectators can compete against each other in real games, virtual games, board games, video games, on-line games and/or fantasy games and the like, by using the game energy they generate using exercise equipment and/or cheering and/or noise making and/or playing on a computer and/or with their minds and/or bodies. In embodiments, individual players, teams of players, spectators and/or any entity associated with the game can compete against each other in real games, virtual games, board games, video games, on-line games and/or fantasy games and/or the like, by using the game energy spectators and/or any entity associated with the game generate using exercise equipment and/or cheering and/or noise making and/or playing on a computer. In embodiments, individual players, teams, spectators and/or any entity associated with the game can compete against each other in real games, virtual games, board games, video games, on- line games and/or fantasy games and the like, by using the game energy spectators and/or any entity associated with the game generate using exercise equipment and/or cheering and/or noise making and/or playing on a computer. In embodiments, spectators and/or any entity associated with the game can generate and store energy before games start, while games are paused, while games are played, during timeouts, and/or during halftime, etc.

[00141] In embodiments, the participant spectators and/or entities associated with the game can alter the playing field associated with the game. In embodiments, the participant spectators and/or entities associated with the game can alter the environment associated with the game. In embodiments, the participant spectators and/or entities associated with the game can alter the odds associated with the game. For example, the energy generated can actually “tilt the ice,” e.g. , the energy could change the playing field so that instead of being horizontal, it could be tilted in the direction that makes it more likely that the outcome of the competition favors the more energy-generating team, e.g., the team having more game energy.

[00142] In embodiments, the amount of participation time an entity devotes to the game can influence the game. For example, spectators, players, coaches, other entities and/or teams associated with the game who devote more active time as a participant spectator or as another entity associated with the game and/or are able to meet some other determinant of involvement related to their association with the game will be positively and/or negatively handicapped and/or not handicapped positively and/or negatively in one way or another. For example, a higher participation time can cause the game energy generated to be increased proportional to the participation time. In another embodiment the amount of time that one is permitted to spend producing energy per week and/or during a certain period of time can and/or will not be limited according to the rules of the game.

[00143] In embodiments, entities and/or teams associated with the game, e.g., spectators and other entities associated with the game, can generate energy that can be used in online games or any type of virtual event and/or any type of fantasy event and/or any type of board game and/or any type of fantasy game and/or any individual activity and/or group athletic activity and/or competition and/or game where spectator involvement is desirable and/or able to be applied and/or where game energy could be added to the way the game is played and/or scored and/or influenced.

[00144] In embodiments, the energy generated during the game and/or over a period of time can be used for playing of the game and/or for the playing of different games. In embodiments, entities associated with the game, e.g. , spectators, can generate energy to be used in a variety of games. In embodiments, energy dissipates according to the rules of the game and therefore must be used in a timely fashion. In embodiments, energy may or may not dissipate overtime and can be stored for a finite period of time and/or for an infinite period of time.

[00145] In embodiments, for example, the game being played can be a soccer game, whether real-world, virtual, and/or combinations thereof. For example, 22 participant spectators can be assigned to each real, virtual, fantasy, board and/or digital soccer game. Each participant spectator, assigned to be an assistant, adjunct, aide, designee, auxiliary and/or the like to one of the players in the match, can, use the energy they generate through exercising, cheering, noise making, playing an online game and/or the like, to influence the game and/or the player and/or players to whom they are assigned and/or the player’s teammates to function optimally and/or to prevent the player, players, team and/or the like from functioning optimally. In embodiments, the participant spectators can be assigned a role and/or select a specific role, such as goalie and/or assist a goalie and/or influence a goalie. In this example, if a participant spectator picks a specific role such as goalie, the game will commence once all the roles are filled by players. Additionally, a group of spectators may form a team of spectators for a game and/or play against another group of spectators and/or play against a previously established team of participant spectators and/or against a team created by the game. Additionally, one or more teams of spectators and/or participant player and spectators can form a league to play games against one another. In one embodiment, a group of people can choose and/or be chosen to be player combatants and/or a group of people can choose and/or be chosen to be participant.

[00146] In embodiments, any entities and/or teams associated with the game can be static and not change roles, change roles at any and/or at all times according to the rules of the game, change roles during a game, change roles between a game, and/or the like. In embodiments, any number of spectators, entities associated with the game and/or teams can be assigned to fill the roster of a sporting event with each spectator, entities associated with the game and/or teams assigned to one or more of the players, and/or entities associated with the game using the energy they generate through exercising, cheering, noise making or playing a sport, an online game in any type of virtual event and/or any type of fantasy event and/or any type of board game and/or any type of fantasy game and/or in any other way they choose and/or are able to generate game energy and/or contribute to the play of the game, their own play, the one or more players to whom they are assigned, any of the players on the field, and/or the play of their teammates. In embodiments, any number of spectators and/or entities associated with the game can be assigned to fill the roster of an online game or any type of virtual event and/or any type of fantasy event and/or any type of board game and/or any type of fantasy game with each participant assigned to be one or more of the players or to provide game energy to one or more of the players, using the energy they generate through exercising, cheering, noise making and/or playing an online game. In embodiments, participant spectators, coaches, cheerleaders, referees, judges and/or anyone else associated with the game can exchange roles, responsibilities, energy generating ability and/or benefits. In embodiments, the players, the spectators and/or others involved in this game and/or other games can be in the same and/or separate location or locations, with a team and/or teams at the same and/or different locations competing against each other and/or working in concert with each other. In embodiments, the player combatants, the participant spectators and/or others involved in a sports action game and/or other games such as Madden Football and/or the like can be in the same and/or separate location or locations, with teams at the same and/or different locations competing against each other and/or working in concert with each other to affect, influence, impact, and/or enhance the game and/or the like.

[00147] In embodiments, entities associated with the game, e.g., player combatants, participant spectators, coaches, cheerleaders, referees, judges and others associated with the game, can have access to team psychologists, hypnotists, relaxation experts, peak performance experts, team psychiatrists, team physicians, yoga instructors, fitness experts and/or others and/or the teaching of and/or from others who can help promote optimal physical health and fitness, emotional health and fitness, optimal wagering and/or optimal game playing performance.

[00148] In embodiments, the game can include related competitions, events and games, e.g., fantasy sports, gambling, etc., which can be influenced by the entities associated with the game. For example, just as an entity associated with a game can hinder and/or promote the movement of player combatants with jet packs, magnets, opening/closing goals, etc., when participating in Fantasy Games such as Fantasy Football, the value and/or movement of players can be adjusted according to the amount of exercise, cheering, noisemaking and/or computer game involvement and/or the like that is dedicated to the performance of those Fantasy Football athletes by the spectator participants in the Fantasy Football league. The same can apply to Fantasy Baseball and/or the like. In embodiments, just as bets can be placed on the outcome or on the performance of a specific player or on any performance or portion and/or portions of a game when placing bets and or wagering on the outcome of a sporting event and/or the like, the betting odds (or wage parameter) of a bet can be adjusted according to the amount of exercise, cheering, noisemaking and/or computer game involvement and/or the like according to the rules of the game and/or the rules of the Fantasy Game that is expended and dedicated to the outcome of the bet by that participant spectator and/or any entity associated with the game.

[00149] In an embodiment, the subject disclosure provides a wagering system that includes a data communication device for transmitting and/or receiving electronic and/or electromagnetic signals of spectator data; and a processor configured to receive spectator data from a participant spectator of an event via the data communication device, wherein the spectator data is based on a physical activity and/or mental activity of the participant spectator, and updates a wage parameter of the event based on the received spectator data in real time. The event can be any game, as discussed above, or any conventional game, such as football, baseball, basketball, soccer, tennis and/or the like. The wage parameter can be the odds of winning a game, the spread to win a game, the over/under odds, and any other odds currently used on sports betting and/or to be developed.

[00150] While an objective of the game can be to score goals and win competitions, the subject disclosure provides systems and methods for promoting physical activity and/or mental activity of spectators of a spectatable event, e.g., as many spectators as possible both in person and in remote locations anywhere in the world participating in an active way that may improve the physical health and conditioning and mental health and well-being of these participant spectators and/or others associated with the game through the actions in which they engage to generate game play energy through activities by exercising, cheering, chanting, music and/or noise and/or other energy generating activity and/or other mental and/or body activity associated with and/or during competition. Involvement as a participant spectator 4, 7 can improve the physical and mental conditioning, the physical and emotional fitness, the physical and mental health, the social connection and/or the sense of belonging of any and/or all the spectators and/or any entity associated with the game who become actively and purposely involved in a cause and a competition, participating while spectating, becoming participant spectators 4, 7. When one observes the present sports world, although the number of in- person and remote spectators can be quantified, the ability of spectators to legally influence outcomes has not been able to be fully harnessed.

[00151] The subject disclosure, in which in-person and remote spectators and others engage to generate game play energy, by exercising, cheering, chanting, making music and/or noise and/or the like and/or other energy generating activity and/or other mental and/or body activity associated with and/or during and/or related to competition is a way for in-person, remote spectators and/or others to interact with each other to promote the physical health and conditioning and mental health and well-being and performance of these participant spectators and players and others. Further, the systems and methods as disclosed promote a feeling of belonging, important in a society and in a world that may be becoming more anonymous and in which many people feel isolated. Embodiments of the present disclosure promote multigenerational interaction as any and/or all people of all ages and/or those people with disabilities and/or abilities can all participate. Moreover, embodiments of the present disclosure give individuals of all ages, including pre-teens and teenagers who were felt were not “good enough” to help fill the rosters of a variety of teams and/or clubs and/or the like and/or all others a system and/or method to exercise, a system and/or method to be part of a team and/or a system and/or method to decrease social isolation, increase a sense of belonging and/or feel part of the community as participant spectators and/or as for any other entities associated with the game regardless of ability to engage in a game and/or to engage with others. Their personal attributes and/or other attributes of a person may or may not be used to adjust their contribution to the game.

[00152] This invention utilizes and/or builds upon the existing infrastructure of athletic activities and/or other events and/or games yet to be invented to help solve an unmet need for aerobic and muscle-strengthening activities for nearly 80 percent of the population who are not exercising according to the 2018 guidelines, 50% who are not meeting the key guidelines for aerobic physical activity and/or to combat the social isolation and loneliness that adversely affect over 50% of the population. Physical inactivity is the fourth leading cause of global mortality according to WHO, and loneliness and social isolation increase the risk of premature death by 26% and 29%, respectively. This disclosure offers a new way for all of humanity to exercise and got involved as a spectator. Exercise can slow or delay the progression of various medical conditions and diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and the like.

[00153] Further, the digital world has become a part of our family lives socially, in business, at work and in medicine, but sports involvement in the digital world and in the digital environment lags. Esports, a competition between video gamers that also provides spectator viewing entertainment is a group of relatively new sports that are passively watched by many while played by few. Embodiments of the present disclosure bring the digital world both to the playing field and to the players as well as to the spectators, the coaches, the cheerleaders, referees, judges, and/or other entities associated with the game.

[00154] Embodiments of the present disclosure also bring exercise to the spectators and/or other entities associated with the game and take the energy from the spectators to the playing field, coaches, cheerleaders, and other entities associated with the game, combining the digital world and the fantasy world with the real world of sports for all to enjoy, combining the efforts of player combatants with the efforts of participant spectators to the benefit of both player and spectator by promoting health and involvement by and for all. In embodiments, player combatants 11 (offensive player combatants 2, and/or defensive player combatants 3), participant spectators 4, player coaches and/or staff 9, spectator coaches and/or staff 12, cheerleaders 13, judges 16, referees 17, and/or any entities associated with the game can all benefit from being involved with the game, as aerobic exercising and muscle-strengthening methods and activities promote health for all those involved. Additionally, the use of equipment and/or virtual reality can reduce the physical contact between players, thereby reducing contact injuries.

[00155] Generally, it is well-known that being physically active is one of the most important steps that people of all ages can take to improve their health. Flexibility is an important part of physical fitness. Stretching exercises are effective in increasing flexibility, and thereby can allow people to more easily do activities that require greater flexibility. Some benefits of physical activity can be achieved immediately, such as reduced feelings of anxiety, reduced blood pressure, improvements in sleep, some aspects of cognitive function, and insulin sensitivity. Other benefits, such as increased cardiorespiratory fitness, increased muscular strength, decreases in depressive symptoms, and sustained reduction in blood pressure, require a few weeks or months of participation in physical activity. Physical activity can also slow or delay the progression of chronic diseases, such as hypertension and type 2 diabetes. Further, physical activity also helps in reducing obesity and its harmful effects. Benefits persist with continued physical activity.

[00156] The instant application allows people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to improve their health while actively and/or socially participating in the game. The instant disclosure also meets an unmet need of improving their health while observing the game. Embodiments of the present disclosure allow people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to adopt this game and/or games associated with this disclosure as a lifetime sport.
