[Participatory online event]
Next, a participatory online event carried out in the game system 1 will be described.
FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining an outline of a participatory online event of the present embodiment. In the following, a participatory online event will be referred to as a "meeting".
The tournament is held for a predetermined period of time (for example, several hours), and a large number of users (many users) are divided into two groups to compete for superiority or inferiority between the groups, specifically, victory or defeat. A group is called a "power".
In holding the tournament, a predetermined theme is set by the tournament operator, and two powers A and B are set according to the predetermined theme. For example, with the theme of derby match, a power A that supports one club team that performs a derby match and a power B that supports the other club team are set. When there is a derby match in the real world, for example, from a few days before to the day before, if you hold a tournament that sets power A to support one club team and power B to support the other club team every day. , It is expected to have a synergistic effect such as enlivening the derby match in the real world and increasing the number of participants in the tournament.

The two forces A and B are not limited to "singular team vs. singular team" as in the above example, and can be freely set.
For example, with the theme of match-up in a real-world soccer league, a power A that supports the home side and a power B that supports the away side in a certain section of a soccer league are set. In the 11th section of the Brazilian soccer league, the power A that supports the home side and the power B that supports the away side are set.
In addition, with the theme of an international tournament in the real world, a power A that supports one group and a power B that supports another group will be set. For example, the power A that supports Group B in the first league match of the European Championship and the power B that supports Group E are set.
In addition, with the theme of a virtual confrontation of soccer leagues by country in the real world, a power A that supports a soccer league in one country and a power B that supports a soccer league in another country are set. The power A that supports the English soccer league and the power B that supports the Spanish soccer league are set.

In [1] power selection of FIG. 2, the user selects and participates in any one of powers A and B. As a result, a large number of users are divided into powers A and B.

When the tournament begins, the [2] power battle shown in Fig. 2 is executed.
In a power battle, matching is performed between a user who wants to play a match among a group of users who participated in power A and a user who wants a match among a group of users who participated in power B during a predetermined period of time. A one-on-one match (soccer game match) is played according to the result. During the power battle, many games will be played in parallel.
In the power battle, points are given to each user according to the match. Specific examples of points will be described later.
When the period of the power battle ends, the points of the power A are determined based on the result of totaling the points of the plurality of users who participated in the power A. Further, the points of the power B are determined based on the result of totaling the points of the plurality of users who participated in the power B. This score is a score based on the score generally assumed in a soccer game, and depending on the ratio of points earned by powers A and B, for example, power A vs. power B = 2 to 0, 1 to 0. , 0 to 0, 0 to 1, 0 to 2, and so on. In the example of FIG. 2, as a result of the power battle, power A vs. power B = 0 to 1.

When the period of the power battle is over, the [3] national team battle shown in FIG. 2 is then executed.
In the national team match, a match is played between the representative user of the user group who participated in the power A and the representative user of the user group who participated in the power B. The score of the power A and the score of the power B in this game become the score of the power A and the score of the power B, respectively. In the example of FIG. 2, as a result of the representative battle, power A vs. power B = 3 to 0.
In addition, the representative game can be watched by the participants of the tournament, that is, the users who participated in either of the powers A and B.

When the national team battle is over, as shown in the result of [4] in Fig. 2, the victory or defeat of powers A and B is determined by the total of the points of the power battle and the points of the national team battle (total score of the power battle and the national team battle). .. In this way, the power battle and the national team battle are positioned similar to, for example, the first leg and the second leg of the home & away system, and the score of the power battle is an advantage in the national team battle. Since the final victory or defeat of the tournament is decided based on the result of the national team match, it is possible to attract users until the national team match is over. In the example of FIG. 2, in the total score of the power battle and the representative battle, power A vs. power B = 3 to 1, and power A wins.

[Functional configuration to realize the tournament]
FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing an example of a functional configuration for realizing the tournament.
In the game system 1, a game control device including a participation reception unit 100, a power battle control unit 200, and a representative battle control unit 300 is configured. For example, in the server device 30, the CPU 31 reads a program stored in the ROM 32 or the storage device 35, and by executing this program, the functions of the participation reception unit 100, the power battle control unit 200, and the representative battle control unit 300 can be performed. It will be realized.
In the present embodiment, the participation reception unit 100, the power battle control unit 200, and the representative battle control unit 300 function as the participation reception means, the group battle control means, and the representative battle control means, respectively.

The participation reception unit 100 accepts the user to select and participate in any one of the powers A and B by communication processing with the game device 10. For example, as described above, with the theme of derby match, a power A supporting one club team performing a derby match and a power B supporting the other club team are set, and the user can use either power A or power B. Accepts to select and participate in one power. The participation reception unit 100 manages which power the user is participating in by associating the user identification information for identifying the user with the powers A and B. Participation acceptance will start at the same time as the tournament is held. In addition, in order to prevent the number of participants between powers A and B from being significantly biased, participation restrictions may be set when the number of participants between powers A and B is biased.
In addition, the participation acceptance and the power battle are started at the same time as the tournament is held, but for example, when the tournament is held, the participation acceptance period is set first, and after the participation acceptance period is over, the power battle is started. You may. Participation may also be accepted before the tournament is held.

As described in detail below, the power battle control unit 200 executes a power battle that determines the points of each power A and B according to a match between users who participated in different powers A and B. To control. The power battle control unit 200 includes a matching unit 201, a point association unit 202, a point totaling unit 203, and a point determination unit 204.

The matching unit 201 performs matching so as to play a match between users who participated in different powers A and B during the power battle. That is, the matching unit 201 is predetermined between the user who has performed the game start operation in the user group participating in the power A and the user who has performed the game start operation in the user group participating in the power B. Match according to the rules. The prescribed rules are not limited, but if the match is matched with opponents of the same level, everyone from beginners to advanced players can enjoy it.

When the opponent is decided by the matching, the match (one-on-one soccer game between users) is started. During the power battle, many games will be played in parallel.
In the online match, the match between the user's team and the opponent team (the team of another user on the network) proceeds in a communication match according to the operation of each game device 10. The operations of the user and other users are exchanged between the respective game devices 10 via the network 20, thereby realizing a communication match and updating the match situation. The screen display and operation in the online battle are not the gist of the present invention, and known ones may be used, and the description thereof will be omitted.

The rules of the match in the power battle may be set in advance, or may be freely set for each tournament. For example, a time system will be adopted so that overtime and PK battles will not be held. Also, during the power battle, the same user can play the game as many times as he / she wants.

In addition, when the user team that plays the power battle match has a player character that matches the power in which the user participates (hereinafter referred to as "ally player character"), the predetermined ability (parameter) of the ally player character is improved. .. For example, suppose that power A has a real-world club team X and power B has a real-world club team Y. In this case, if the user participates in the power A and the user team of the user has a player character of a soccer player belonging to the club team X of the power A, the player character becomes a friendly player character.
On the other hand, if the user team that plays the power battle match has a player character that matches a power other than the power in which the user participates (hereinafter referred to as "enemy player character"), the predetermined ability of the enemy player character (hereinafter referred to as "enemy player character"). Parameter) is lowered. In the above example, if the user participates in power A and the user team of the user has a soccer player character belonging to club team Y of power B, the player character becomes an enemy player character. Become.
For example, by introducing the concept of conditions (good condition, good condition, bad condition, bad condition) that affect the predetermined ability of the player character, the ally player character is given the best condition to improve the predetermined ability, and the enemy player character is given the predetermined condition. Gives a sickness that reduces the ability of.
By introducing the concept of ally player character and enemy player character in this way and changing the predetermined ability, the fun of thinking about the appointment of a player according to the predetermined theme will increase, and the powers and powers that one will participate in will be used. It also has the effect of strengthening the feelings for the player character.

After the period of the power battle has passed, the power battle control unit 200 notifies each game device 10 of the end of the power battle, and each game device 10 performs a process of ending the power battle.

The point associating unit 202 associates the points specified according to the match between the users who participated in the different powers A and B with the user identification information for identifying each user. During the power battle, a large number of games are played in parallel, and each time the game ends, the point association unit 202 identifies the points to be given to the user who played this game and associates them with the user identification information. Remember. The power battle control unit 200 notifies the game device 10 of each user who has played the game of each point, and each game device 10 displays the points on the display unit 16.

In the present embodiment, the point association unit 202 calculates the points to be given to the user who played the match based on the evaluation value according to the player character of the user team and the evaluation value according to the match.
Here, with reference to FIG. 4, the point calculation process executed by the point association unit 202 will be described.

In step S1, the point association unit 202 calculates an evaluation value (hereinafter, referred to as “Scud evaluation value”) according to the player character used to form the user team.
To explain one example, for example, a bonus value "100" is given to a normal player character. Further, for example, a bonus value "400" higher than that of a normal player character is given to the above-mentioned ally player character (player character matching the power in which the user participates). Further, for example, a bonus value "25" lower than that of a normal player character is given to the above-mentioned enemy player character (a player character matching a power different from the power in which the user participates). In addition, if the concept of a player of interest is introduced and the player corresponds to the player of interest, for example, the bonus value may be doubled. If it is a normal player character and a noteworthy player, the bonus value is "2x100", if it is a friendly player character and it is a noteworthy player, the bonus value is "2x400", and if it is an enemy player character and it is a noteworthy player, the bonus value is " Set to "2x25".
In this way, the point association unit 202 aggregates the bonus values of each player character used to form the user team, and based on the result, calculates the Scud evaluation value by a predetermined calculation method.

Next, in step S2, the point association unit 202 calculates an evaluation value according to the match.
To explain an example, a basic point of evaluation value is given according to the result of a match. For example, if you win with a large goal difference, you will be given a high base point, and if you lose with a large goal difference, you will be given a low base point.
Then, the basic points are increased or decreased according to the parameters of the opponent team of the match, and the evaluation value is set according to the match. The parameters of the opponent team include, for example, team strength and team perfection. The team power is a parameter obtained by summing up predetermined values of the player characters that form the user team. In addition, the team perfection degree represents the team adaptation rate of the manager and the tactical suitability rate of the players, and is a parameter whose value can be increased by repeating the games. If the team strength and team perfection of the opponent team are high, it can be said that the opponent is a strong team, and the base points are changed to increase, and this is set as the evaluation value according to the game. On the contrary, if the team strength and team perfection of the opponent team are low, it can be said that the opponent is a weak team, and the basic points are changed to be reduced, and this is set as the evaluation value according to the game.
In this way, the point association unit 202 calculates the evaluation value according to the match by a predetermined calculation method based on the basic points and the parameters of the opponent team.

Next, in step S3, the point associating unit 202 plays a match by a predetermined calculation method based on the scud evaluation value calculated in step S1 and the evaluation value according to the match calculated in step S2. Calculate the points to be given to the user.

As described above, the points to be given to the user are calculated based on the fact that the character is a friendly player character and the character is an enemy player character. This will increase the enjoyment of thinking about appointing players according to a predetermined theme, and will also have the effect of strengthening the feelings for the forces in which they participate and the player characters they use. In addition, points to be given to the user are calculated using the result of the match as an element. This can increase the motivation of the user who wants to win the game. Further, the points to be given to the user are calculated by using the parameters of the opponent team as an element. This can increase the motivation of the user who wants to win the game with a strong opponent team.
In the present embodiment, the point associating unit 202 functions as the point associating means.

The point totaling unit 203 totals the points associated with the user identification information by the point associating unit 202 for each of the forces A and B.
The timing at which the points are totaled for each of the powers A and B in the point totaling unit 203 is not limited. For example, the aggregation may be performed at the timing when the period of the power battle is over. Alternatively, the tabulation may be performed regularly during the power battle. In this case, if the power battle control unit 200 notifies the game device 10 of the total result at each time point and displays the graph 501 showing the total result on the display unit 16 as shown in FIG. 5, the user can use the power A. You can check the superiority of B's point acquisition in real time. Further, the power battle control unit 200 may notify the game device 10 of the user's point acquisition order, and display the order information 502 on the display unit 16 as shown in FIG.

When the period of the power battle ends, the point determination unit 204 determines the points of each power A and B based on the result of totaling the points for each power A and B by the point totaling unit 203. That is, the score determination unit 204 determines the score of the power A based on the result of totaling the points of the users who participated in the power A. Further, the score determination unit 204 determines the score of the power B based on the result of totaling the points of the users who participated in the power B. As described above, it is determined as, for example, power A vs. power B = 2 to 0, 1 to 0, 0 to 0, 0 to 1, 0 to 2, according to the ratio of points earned by powers A and B. ..
In the present embodiment, the score determining unit 204 functions as a score determining means.

Next, as described in detail below, the representative battle control unit 300 controls to execute a representative battle in which a match is played between the representative users of the powers A and B after the power battle. The representative battle control unit 300 includes an entry receiving unit 301, a representative user specifying unit 302, a watching unit 303, and a reward associating unit 304.

The entry receiving unit 301 sets the entry period after the end of the power battle period, and accepts entries for becoming representative users of the powers A and B by communication processing with the game device 10. A user who participates in power A can make an entry to become a representative user of power A, and a user who participates in power B can make an entry to become a representative user of power B. For example, as shown in FIG. 6, an entry screen provided with an entry button 601 is displayed on the display unit 16 of the game device 10, and an entry is accepted. In this case, each of the powers A and B may set entry conditions such that the top 100 points in the point acquisition order can be entered. In addition, a watching button 602 is provided on the entry screen to encourage watching the game.
By accepting entries for continuing to become a representative user after the end of the power battle period in this way, a series of flows from the power battle to the representative battle can be formed. For example, the entry period is set to about several tens of seconds to several minutes immediately after the end of the power battle period so that the user's interest is not diminished.
In the present embodiment, the entry receiving unit 301 functions as an entry receiving means.

The representative user identification unit 302 identifies the representative user from the users who have received the entry in the entry reception unit 301. For example, the representative user identification unit 302 selects the person with the highest point acquisition order in power A as the representative user of power A, and selects the person with the highest point acquisition order in power B as the power. Elected as the representative user of B. By making the person with the highest point acquisition ranking the representative user in this way, the national team match becomes a high-level match, and it also motivates the player to watch the national team match.
By identifying the representative user, the match is started in a one-match format between the representative user of power A and the representative user of power B.

The rules of the match in the national team may be set in advance, or may be freely set for each tournament. For example, a time system is adopted, and when the total scores of the power battle and the national team battle are tied, overtime and penalty shootout are performed.
Further, as in the case of the power battle, the predetermined ability of the ally player character may be improved, or the predetermined ability of the enemy player character may be lowered.
In the present embodiment, the representative user identification unit 302 functions as the representative user identification means.

The spectator unit 303 controls the users who participated in the forces A and B to watch the representative game. The spectator unit 303 distributes game data to the game device 10 of the user who wants to watch the game via the network 20 so that the representative game can be watched.
In the present embodiment, the spectator unit 303 functions as a spectator means.

The reward association unit 304 associates a predetermined reward given to each user according to a predetermined condition with the user identification information of each user. The predetermined reward may be beneficial to the user, such as in-game currency, items that can be used in the game, and the right to play gacha.
For example, a predetermined reward is given to a user who has played a match in a power battle according to the acquired points that indicate the degree of contribution. In addition, a predetermined reward is given according to the victory or defeat of the power (total score of the power battle and the representative battle). In addition, a predetermined reward is given to the user who has performed the national team match. In addition, a predetermined reward is given to the user who has watched the representative game. By giving a predetermined reward to the user who has watched the national team, the number of spectators in the national team can be increased and the tournament can be lively.
In the present embodiment, the reward association unit 304 functions as a reward association means.

Although the functions of each part shown in FIG. 3 have been described as being realized by the server device 30, the game device 10 may realize all or part of the functions. For example, the function of the point association unit 202 of the power battle control unit 200 may be realized by the game device 10, and the points specified by each game device 10 may be collected by the server device 30.

As described above, with the two powers A and B set according to the predetermined theme, the points of each power A and B are determined according to the match between the users who participated in the different powers A and B. Execute a power battle, and then execute a representative battle in which a match is played between the representative users of each of the powers A and B. As a result, not only the users can play and enjoy themselves, but also a large number of users can participate and enjoy the sense of unity, which can improve the taste of the game.

Specifically, after a large number (many) users are divided into powers A and B, the points of the powers in which they participate are determined by each user playing a match and acquiring points in the power battle. Therefore, you can enjoy a sense of unity that contributes to the victory of the powers you participate in.
Then, in the national team battle following the power battle, the representative user will take over the points in the power battle and play the game with a sense of tension as a representative of everyone, and can enjoy a sense of unity. In addition, users other than the representative user can enjoy a sense of unity by supporting the forces that they have participated in and contributed to. Under the same theme, the national team battle will be held following the power battle, and the national team battle will lead to the final victory or defeat, so many users will watch the national team battle.

In this way, it is possible to provide a mechanism that can be used for sports (e-sports) competitions that are accepted in many fields. One of the elements of esports is watching other people's gameplay, but by repeating tournaments like this embodiment, it also becomes an opportunity to take root in the culture of watching games.

[4. Modification example]
Although the embodiment of the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the drawings, the specific configuration is not limited to the above embodiment and can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist of the present invention.
In the above embodiment, among the entered users, the person with the highest point acquisition order is selected as the representative user, but instead or in addition to that, the representative user may be selected according to other requirements. For example, a representative user is selected by lottery from the entered users. Even when a representative user is selected by lottery, if the entry conditions are strict, the national team can be maintained at a high level.
Further, the representative user may be specified in advance instead of the representative user being specified from the entered user. For example, a tournament in which a celebrity participates as a guest user in each of the powers A and B is held so that the guest user is predetermined to be the representative user.
The representative user does not necessarily have to be one.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example in which only one match is played in the representative match has been described, but a plurality of matches may be played in the representative match. For example, the beginner, intermediate, and advanced classes are divided according to a predetermined standard, and the beginner's representative battle, the intermediate player's representative battle, and the advanced player's representative battle are held respectively. In this case, for example, in the national team match for advanced players, as described above, the person with the highest point acquisition ranking is selected as the representative user so that the national team match becomes a high-level match. For example, in a national team match for beginners, a representative user may be selected by lottery from the entered users. This gives you the pleasure of being elected as a representative, although you are not good at the game.
In addition, the classes may be divided into a power battle for beginners, a power battle for intermediate players, and a power battle for advanced players.
In addition, the tournament itself may be held under the same theme, for example, for beginners, intermediates, and advanced players. By classifying in this way, it becomes easier to obtain a chance to participate in the national team in each class, so that the user can be given the pleasure of playing the national team. It is also possible to set goals for each user to aim for the upper class.

Further, in the above embodiment, the example of setting two powers A and B has been described, but three or more powers may be set. For example, when three powers A, B, and C are set, three games of A to B, A to C, and B to C are played in the national team.

Further, in the above embodiment, the example in which the user uses each user team has been described, but a tournament using the preset team may be held. For example, in a tournament in which a real-world club team X is set for power A and a real-world club team Y is set for power B, power A is a preset team that imitates club team X and the players belonging to it. Is used, and in power B, a preset team that imitates the club team Y and the players belonging to it is used. In this case, the fluctuation of the predetermined ability and the fluctuation of the bonus value due to the ally player character and the enemy player character described above may be turned off, and the scud evaluation value may be fixed to a constant value. In this way, there is no difference in the ability value of the player character used for each user, and it is possible to hold a battle focusing on the playing skill of the user's game.

Further, when a plurality of club teams are included in each of the powers A and B, the user may select a power and then select one more club team from the selected powers.

If so, select one Nationalome of Group B. In this case, the ally player character is determined based on the nationality selected by the user. As the number of player characters belonging to a power increases, such as in leagues and national teams, the number of ally player characters belonging to the user team tends to increase. As the number of ally player characters increases, the characteristics of the ally player characters are impaired accordingly. In this regard, as described above, if one club team is selected or one nationality is selected, the number of ally player characters corresponding to the power selected by the user can be suppressed to an appropriate number. It is possible to prevent the character's characteristics from being impaired.

Further, in the above embodiment, the points associated with the user identification information are calculated, but the points may be specified by, for example, determining the points based on the table data prepared in advance. In this case as well, the points may be determined from the table data by using the parameters of the ally player character, the enemy player character, the result of the match, and the opponent team as elements. The processing speed can be increased by determining the points from the table data. Moreover, by managing the table data separately from the program, the contents of the points can be easily changed later.

Further, in the above embodiment, the two powers A and B are set on the theme related to soccer, but the two powers A and B may be set on the theme not related to soccer at all. The beer group is the power A, the wine group is the power B, and so on. It can be used as an off-season event or game event for real-world soccer. Even in this case, the ally player character may be set by selecting the team after selecting the power.
