Abstract
The invention is a method and system for providing a game in which different teams/companies compete to determine which team/company can generate the most income in a selected period of time, such as one year. Teams are formed of multiple players, with each player providing a player fee in the form of money or other valuable assets (e.g., ideas, expertise, etc.). Multiple teams form the game, which is overseen by a controlling organization. The game may be broadcast, as a television or web-based broadcast, and may include one or more websites to provide information to the public (either free or for a fee) on the overall game and/or individual team developments.
