- determining, by a sharing system, the identity of each player, in a set of at least two players, of at least one game between the at least two players;
- associating at least one first player having access to a first computer, with at least one second player having access to a second computer;
- determining a performance time window with a finite duration of time before a recording is started;
- creating a start button on the display of the first computer permitting the at least one first player to select the option to start the performance time window by pressing the start button;
- starting the recording when the at least first player presses the start button;
- sending the resulting recorded data relating to the performance to the second computer;
- receiving of the resulting recorded data relating to the performance by the second computer of the at least one second player sent by the at least one first player using the first computer;
- wherein the recorded data therefore includes a live recording of a first player;
- and wherein the live recording is streamed to the at least one second player, and there is included a rating system which defines the winner of the game, wherein the at least one second user is presented by the second computer with one or more questions relating to the resulting recorded data permitting the recording of the first player to be judged by the other at least one second player in the set, the elicited responses input into the second computer are utilised by the rating system to determine the winner.
