Gelcomm and Fabric  interactive have partnered to develop the online experience for the The Peoples Game. The first social driven online sport competition challenging cities, communities across America to compete and decide who is the people’s champions of this great nation.

www.thepeoplesgames.com

After a coin toss it was determined L.A. would host Game #1 of a “best of three” game series and NYC would host Game #2 and #3 (if needed).

We’ll be tweeting and blogging live from the games to keep you updated. An edited version of the games will be available after the competition.

Our plans are to rollout The People’s Games with competition in three additional sports this year…soccer, baseball and football. Exact times and process for signup, tryouts, practices and games to be determined soon.

REMEMBER, ANYTHING WHICH IS COMPETITIVE (BOTH SPORT AND NON-SPORT) CAN BE ADAPTED TO THE PEOPLE’S GAMES MODEL. “Games” in the future could feature competition in track and field, golf, tennis, barroom brawling, or for that matter, spelling, local bands, who can eat the most hotdogs, or whatever seems fun.

Everybody who is 18 or older, a current resident of the city, has never played the game professionally…and think they have game…. IF THAT’S YOU, THEN

THE PEOPLE’S GAMES ARE YOUR GAMES!
