    摘要: A multilevel online tournament is provided. The first tournament round has a single bracket and each subsequent tournament round has a winners bracket and a losers bracket corresponding to a bracket in the previous tournament round. The tournament format allows players to match-up against any other player located within the same bracket. The online tournament format also allows participants to start playing match in a round of the tournament prior to the official start of that round. Thus, players are able to more quickly advance through the tournament and spend less time waiting for a suitable opponent. The tournament format also allows for players to request available tournament byes and to automatically progress when they are unable to connect with other players due to quality of service issues.

    摘要: Mechanisms are disclosed for visual identification of a user in a gaming environment. For example, a digital image is used to identify a user, whether the user is on-line or off-line. This digital image is easily verifiable as an appropriate and non-offensive image because it may come form a controlled digital image source (or set of sources). The digital image is also revocable in a variety of gaming environment contexts by a gaming authority. Lastly, the digital image is changeable depending on the context of the gaming environment, in one aspect, being configured to be visible to the entire gaming environment in one form, and being visible to a subset of the gaming environment in another form.

    摘要: A distributed task scheduling method and system that separates and performs task management and task execution on separate computing devices and distributes task execution over multiple computing devices. The distributed task scheduler includes two-tier architecture having at least one execution host and at least one data broker. The execution hosts handle the tasks and the data broker manages the task schedule. The data broker determines any scheduled tasks that need to be executed. Once an available task is found, the data broker dispenses the scheduled task to an execution host. A timeout period is selected for each assigned task. If the assigned execution host does not report back to the data broker within the timeout period the completion of the assigned task, the data broker is free to assign the task to another execution host to ensure reliable execution of the task.
