Netamin Corporation has announced a 2008 Cinco de Mayo Tournament for its baseball-themed virtual world, Cal Ripkin's Real Baseball. Over $2000 in prizes will be available, including memberships to RotoWire.com and JRO High Performance Sunglasses from Elite Eyewear.

Cal Ripken's Real Baseball is a massively multiplayer online sports game in which sports enthusiasts and gamers can compete in 3D virtual stadiums. Real Baseball hosts many events throughout the year, including tournaments, homerun derbies, and rookie challenges.

The Cinco de Mayo Invitational will be a single elimination tournament, with seeds based on a first-to-register, first-seed basis. Each tournament game will last six innings and will be scheduled three-to-five days a week.

"We are excited to be hosting our first big tournament of the baseball season," said Netamin Communication Corporation founder and CEO Andy Wang. "Cal Ripken's Real Baseball brings video gaming and baseball to a whole new level. We hope players will continue enjoying the head to head competition not only with tournaments, but also all the other events we have to offer."
