EarpSports - 'recognising and rewarding sporting performance'
by Julian Wyatt, 13th May 2008

Earpsports is a brand new website specifically aimed at club cricketers and golfers, where prizes can be won through their own personal performances. Earpsports very own points’ scoring system has been devised, where players score points based on their cricketing and golfing efforts.

The highest weekly points scorer wins a prize, with all players weekly points carried forward into monthly competitions and finally the annual competition. Prizes can be won for being a national weekly or monthly winner and a regional annual winner.

Effectively it is a form of fantasy sport for club sports players, where all levels are brought together offering an equal opportunity for everyone to win, whether you play premier league, second team division four, have a handicap of 2 or 22.

Prizes range from weekly polo shirts and baseball caps to monthly prize vouchers up to £250 and annual prizes including trips to the West Indies (cricketers), trips to the Costa Blanca (golfers) and prize vouchers up to £1,000.

Membership is currently free (for twelve months) if you join before June 30th 2008, whether as an individual or team. Clubs that set up reciprocal weblinks with earpsports will receive free membership for all of their individual members and teams – for further details see the website www.earpsports.com or contact julian@earpsports.com.      

In the cricket competition there are 14 places up for grabs in the West Indies tour party which will include matches on the Caribbean island of Barbados. The tour party will be made up of monthly winners and regional winners. Incidentally England will be touring at the same time!

In addition to our competitions we will have a cricket coaching section and most importantly, invaluable advice from Marcus Trescothick, who will be offering tips on how to improve your batting and an insight into what has been pivotal in his success as an international cricketer.

If you want to tell us about your game there is also a forum titled “in the bar” for after match tales and banter, plus “if only” for what could have been!
