Topic: Exhibition match


  
  Australian football exhibition matches - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During the 1990s, regular exhibition matches became part of the growth strategy of the renamed Australian Football League, which began to realise that the effects of globalisation would threaten the future of the sport in the face of world sports like soccer.
Exhibition matches are regularly scheduled for The Oval in London, which has in the past been an event for ex-patriate Australians.
Although the Sydney Swans Australian football club are based in Sydney, the AFL holds an annual exhibition match between the Essendon Bombers and Sydney Swans at the North Sydney Oval.

 Exhibition game - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An exhibition game is the North American term for a sporting event in which there is no gain or loss from whether the competitors are victorious or not in the competition.
In North American sports, exhibition games usually take the form of a handful of preseason games that are intended to familiarize teammates and get them ready for upcoming matches.
Occasionally - though more commonly in other countries - exhibition games are parts of larger events; particularly fundraising for charity, or as over-the-top demonstrations of skill for the purposes of entertainment.

 Exhibition match - [Sunday Herald]
Parkhead’s supply of adrenaline was exhausted by the end of a pulsating match which established Hibs’ credentials as a challenger and Celtic’s as the probable champions.
Hibs had comfortably dealt with Celtic’s brisk start to the match and initially carried themselves with the assurance that might have been expected from a side which could, with a victory, have moved within four points of their hosts.
The afternoon would have held nothing for Hibs if they had been as insipid throughout the match as in the opening 45 minutes, but their start to the second half was electrifying and ignited the match as a whole.

 Rob's Thoughts: Exhibition Match in LA   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Exhibition Match in LA As some of you will know by reading our BBS or our TV & Media newsletter there is a proposal afloat for two AFL clubs to play a match in late January, 2004 in Los Angeles, California.
It's nice that the AFL does the match in London each year but according to the report on our web site posted today, the match yesterday was attended by just under 13,000 and half were ex-pats.
It is about promoting the match both locally and nationally well enough to the existing fan base to get the numbers needed to succeed.

 Anna out of exhibition match on Saturday - Official Anna Kournikova Message Boards
Anna Kournikova has pulled out of her scheduled exhibition match with Britain's Elena Baltacha during the Powder Byrne Trophy in Surbiton.
And somewhat ominously she suffered a stress fracture in her right foot in August 1999 and was off the tour for nearly three months.
There was some consolation for the organisers however with the news that Greg Rusedski will play an exhibition match on Saturday, the British number two taking on three-time Wimbledon finalist Goran Ivanisevic.

 Rob's Thoughts: Exhibition Match in LA - Redux
The idea is far from dead however as a recent article in the Melbourne Age strongly suggests.
However, the cost and complexity of staging the first exhibition here in over 15 seasons requires that footy gain the maximum benefit possible from such an event.
It also requires that the promoters anticipate what is going to happen when the exhibition is announced and confirmed.

I believe that in doing this we could advertise both our clans in the general public; and hopefully increase the number of people in our IRC channels, the number of people in your public server, the number of people that visit our websites, and the number of people that generally support.
Our friends, supporters and clanmates could come and watch the match live in HLTV and generally have a good time with the other community members.
I think that if we all do our part to advertise the match a few days to a week before it actually happens, a good amount of people will show up in our channels to see the matchbots as well as in the HLTV to watch the match.
