    Consumer Motivation, Spectatorship Experience and the Degree of Overlap Between Traditional Sport and Esport.”

    COMPETITIVE SPORT IN WEB 2.0: CONSUMER MOTIVATION, SPECTATORSHIP EXPERIENCE, AND THE DEGREE OF OVERLAP BETWEEN TRADITIONAL SPORT AND ESPORT by JUE HOU ANDREW C. BILLINGS, COMMITTEE CHAIR CORY L. ARMSTRONG KENON A. BROWN JAMES D. LEEPER BRETT I. SHERRICK A DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Journalism and Creative Media in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2019 Copyright Jue Hou 2019 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT In the 21st Century, eSport has gradually come into public sight as a new form of competitive spectator event. This type of modern competitive video gaming resembles the field of traditional sport in multiple ways, including players, leagues, tournaments and corporate sponsorship, etc. Nevertheless, academic discussion regarding the current treatment, benefit, and risk of eSport are still ongoing. This research project examined the status quo of the rising eSport field. Based on a detailed introduction of competitive video gaming history as well as an in-depth analysis of factors that constitute a sport, this study redefined eSport as a unique form of video game competition. From the theoretical perspective of uses and gratifications, this project focused on how eSport is similar to, or different from, traditional sports in terms of spectator motivations. The current study incorporated a number of previously validated-scales in sport literature and generated two surveys, and got 536 and 530 respondents respectively. This study then utilized the data and constructed the motivation scale for eSport spectatorship consumption (MSESC) through structural equation modeling.

Therefore, this study ex- 16 plored the cognitions of seven professional snooker players during real-time solo practice 17 performance. Design: A Think Aloud (TA) protocol analysis. Method: This involved players 18 verbalizing and explaining their thoughts within naturalistic practice environments. Player’s 19 verbalizations were recorded during each solo practice performance, transcribed verbatim, 20 and analyzed via protocol analysis. Results: Analyses revealed an array of continuous reac- 21 tive-adaptive cognitions relating to stressors and coping strategies during performance, as 22 well as general snooker-specific related thoughts. Specifically, the results highlighted key 23 stressor themes which were coded as: Table Conditions, Distractions, and Mistakes. Our 24 main finding was: Shot Preparation being essential to problem-focused coping, with Ration- 25 alizing integral to emotion-focused coping. Further results highlighted the visualperceptual 26 and cognitive expertise of players, with regards to identification of problem balls and cueball 27 spatial awareness, insofar as unearthing the deliberate structure to practice routines.

    Greg Norman Announces Final Field for 17 Annual Franklin Templeton

    Greg Norman Announces Final Field For 17th Annual Franklin Templeton Shootout NAPLES, Fla. (September 19, 2005) – Greg Norman announced today that the 24 - player field is completed for the Franklin Templeton Shootout, which returns to Naples for the fifth consecutive year November 9 -13. Added today were Swedish sensations Jesper Parnevik and Fredrik Jacobson . Parnevik is a five -time winner on the PGA TOUR and has won nine more titles around the globe. He has participated in three Ryder Cup matches f or the European Team and will make his second Shootout appearance. Jacobson has three European Tour titles, all of which came in 2003. During a six -year span on that Tour, he collected six runner -up finishes and 16 top -10s. Also in 2003, he finished among the top six at both the U.S. and British Opens. This will be Jacobson’s first Franklin Templeton Shootout. He joins Tim Herron and Ian Poulter as newcomers. With the addition of Parnevik and Jacobson (Sweden), the 24 -player field now has a distinct inter national flavor with seven participants representing four countries: Norman, Adam Scott and Steve Elkington (Australia), Nick Price (South Africa) and Poulter (England). This marks the greatest depth of international talent in the Shootout’s 17 - year histor y. “We welcome the two gentlemen from Sweden, “ Norman said. “Now that the field is complete, it certainly does have an interesting mix of current winners, past champions, Hall of Fame members and an international flair.” Winners this year, include Olin Browne , who captured the Deutsche Bank Championship Labor Day weekend for his third TOUR victory and Mark Calcavecchia , who won the following week at the Bell Canadian Open.
