Try NanoGaming™ on NFL games at Speed of Sport™

The most interactive Fantasy Site on the market!

 

WATERLOO, ONTARIO—October 19, 2006—LiveHive Systems Inc., developer of the sophisticated Enhanced TV (ETV) solution, NanoGaming, today announced that it has officially launched its Speed of Sport web site, www.speedofsport.com, allowing sports fans to play NanoGaming on all nationally-televised National Football League (NFL) games.

 

NanoGaming is a real-time interactive entertainment solution that allows viewers to play along with their favorite TV shows. On Speed of Sport, NanoGamers are able to use their knowledge of sports and sports teams to anticipate how a live game will unfold, play-by-play. Fans are presented with real-time prediction opportunities on NanoEvents™, such as:

                                                                                                                                     

§        “Will Green Bay run or pass the ball on the next play?”                                  

§        “Will New England score a touchdown on their next drive?”

§        “Will the kicker make his next field goal attempt?”                                         

 

“With NanoGaming, the number of events and prediction possibilities are infinite,” said Dave Bullock, President and Co-Founder of LiveHive Systems. “The launch of Speed of Sport is great news for sports enthusiasts who want access to the most interactive fantasy site on the market, a highly entertaining gaming format, a community of raving fans, and a new way to play for fun, prizes and pride."

 

On Speed of Sport, fans can make simple predictions, such as "Call the Play," (i.e., run, pass; field goal good, field goal miss), and more complex predictions, such as "Call the Play Result," (i.e., first down, next down, touchdown, turnover, safety) and "Call the Drive Result," (i.e., touchdown, field goal good, field goal miss, safety, turnover, punt, downs).

 

Speed of Sport will continually be adding new sports to its broadcast programming, including Major League Baseball (MLB), NCAA basketball, NBA basketball, NCAA football, Premier League soccer, auto racing, golf and more! Earlier this year, LiveHive successfully launched a Bet-on-Survivor contest, and will continue to add NanoGaming opportunities on other live events such as Reality TV, awards shows, poker and elections.

 

“Our goal is to create the most fun and interactive way to watch a live event,” said Bullock. “We’re confident that NanoGaming’s ability to generate hundreds of prediction opportunities per event will create non-stop action and excitement for fans.”
