Nothing beats throwing darts across the Web Mobile gamers from two Indonesian provinces participated in that country's first electronics game of darts and walked away with game consoles as prizes.
Tournament participants downloaded the Paul Hageman Darts Championship game and submitted their best scores to enter into a leaderboard. The 256 top scorers selected from both provinces after 30 days of the tournamnent were pitted against each other for the quarter finals, semi finals and eventually the finals. The final rounds were held in Chatter Box Café, Taman Anggrek, Jakarta, where the finalists gathered and competed against each other in real time. The winner walked away with a Play Station 3, while the other finalists received prizes like Nintendo Wii, Xbox and PSP. The tournament was conducted by leading mobile entertainment provider in Indonesia--Mobiletren in association with the largest telecom operator Telkomsel. The game and the tournament platform was developed by Fugumobile, whose Ravi Shankar Bose, VP-International Business said, “We are thrilled with the success of the first ever mobile gaming tournament held in Indonesia. This is an excellent example of connected gaming which actually works and with massive participation” The tournament was promoted through game magazine and flyers which went to the subscribers along with their mobile phone bills. Telkomsel also sent SMS broadcasts informing its subscribers about the tournament. This sure beats the noisy atmosphere of an Irish pub. But you still need to drink responsibly!
