ABSTRACT:
An interactive apparatus and method allows participants to compete in an interactive game based on an event which is occurring in real time or in a simulated rotisserie type game. In one embodiment, selection and trading of players are used to optimize performance of a team. Team performance is used to place each participant into a league with at least one of national, regional, state, local and city/town competition in real time. A ticker tape or other visual display or audio broadcast or the like is shown or broadcast on a device of an interactive apparatus with real time score values indicative of the players' performance in the event. Using the interactive apparatus, the participants select and trade members on the team using a menu displayed or broadcast on the interactive device. The menu provides relevant information regarding the performance of the participant's team, and allows the participant to select and trade members on the participant's team with members listed in a contest roster database while the event is occurring in real time.
