DEFINITION

Classification: 463/4

Simulated court game or athletic event (e.g., soccer, basketball, etc.):

(under subclass 2) A simulated-projectile application that includes the use of a simulated projectile (e.g., ball, etc.) in a competitive-sports-type environment wherein (a) two or more opposing contestants or teams of contestants move about a defined playing area, field, or representation thereof while attempting to manipulate or control the simulated projectile in a defined task or (b) a contestant responds to or interacts with the projectile or opponent while the opponent is in control of the projectile.

(1) Note. The opposing contestant or team does not have to involve or be otherwise controlled by a human participant. The electronic data processing, under program control, etc., may perform the action of an opponent so that only one human participant is required to play a contest.
