HOW DOES PHYGITAL SPORT WORK?
PHYGITAL FOOTBALL- A team consists of 8 athletes
Stage 1 Digital Football Players compete in the digital version of football, representing their team.
Stage 2 Physical Football The same teams then move to the football pitch to compete in the physical game.
The results from both the digital and physical stages are combined according to the official competition rules to determine the winning team.
PHYGITAL BASKETBALL- A team consists of 4 athletes
The same concept applies to basketball:
NBA 2K – Digital Stage
Physical Basketball – Physical Stage
Teams compete across both stages as part of one integrated competition.
PHYGITAL DANCING 1 participant = 1 competitor
Phygital Dancing combines a digital/interactive gaming element with real-life dance performance, testing participants’ digital skills, coordination, creativity and physical ability.
AGE REQUIREMENT
Participation in the Phygital Rivals Tournament is open to persons who have reached the minimum age of 16 years at the time of submitting their application for participation in the competition.
