SAN DIEGO URBAN LEAGUE PARTNERS WITH 4SHO ENTERTAINMENT AND ESPORTS ARENA TO PRODUCE EDUCATIONAL GAMING TOURNAMENT
Area Children Given the Opportunity to Shine in High-Tech Battle of Words

Escondido, CA (April 11, 2003)

The San Diego Urban League, a non-profit organization, will be hosting the Verbosity Tournament Series, a premiere entertainment multimedia, multi-player gaming event on Saturday, April 19, 2003. The event takes place between 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at ESPORTS ARENA, located in Pacific Theatres Gaslamp 15 at 5th and G Streets in downtown. Held in cooperation with 4 SHO Entertainment Enterprises and ESPORTS ARENA, the free, one-day tournament offers more than $10,000 in prizes. Participants will compete in Verbosity - Tools for the Mind, an entertaining, vocabulary-based game developed by 4SHO Entertainment Enterprises, and tremendously popular with children in San Diego school districts and youth organizations.

The Verbosity Tournament Series is the only event of its kind in the nation, offering gamers the opportunity to challenge one another to a high-tech battle of words. Refreshingly, there is none of the usual shooting, explosions or violence found in 90% of computer games. Instead, the adrenaline rush that players experience comes from the sense of achievement they experience as they are challenged to define words and utilize strategic thinking while progressing through levels of increasing difficulty.

Prize and product sponsors of the Verbosity Tournament Series include Cookies by Design, Boomer's, Wal Mart, K-Mart, Regal Entertainment Group, Kinko's Vista, and Blockbuster Video. Players will be provided by many organizations including Sojourner Truth Learning Academy, St. Stephens High School, High Tech High School, the Encanto Boys and Girls Club, The Yo Spot, The Oasis Project and the Jackie Robinson YMCA.

Verbosity - Tools for the Mind was developed by 4SHO Entertainment Enterprises to be fun and entertaining while providing an educational and non-violent gaming experience for children eight years old and up. The rules are simple and can be learned in minutes while playing the game. Children do not realize that they are actually learning as they compete, but the substantial increase in their comprehension levels is measurable.

San Diego has one of the highest percentages of Internet connectivity in the country and is a leader in providing quality educational infrastructure, programs and materials. Dignitaries from across the spectrum of the education, political and entertainment fields have been invited to cheer on the 256 area children of all ages and backgrounds participating in the tournament.

"One of the primary goals of the San Diego Urban League is to reach out to young people and help them realize their full potential," said Maurice Wilson, Director of Employment, Training and Technology for the San Diego Urban League. "This tournament encourages kids to be the best, offering them a positive, wholesome and fun activity to improve their vocabulary and communications skills."

Specifically designed for tournament play, ESPORTS ARENA can accommodate up to 24 four-person teams simultaneously, making it ideal for Verbosity- Tools for the Mind's multi-player format. Offering the latest high-speed equipment in an ultra-modern, state-of-the-art environment, ESPORTS ARENA provides every possible amenity for everyone from the casual player to the hardcore gamer.

"We are very supportive of worthwhile causes such as the San Diego Urban League," said John Varley, chairman and CEO, ESPORTS ARENA. "We have offered our facilities for this event because we believe that the integration of technology into the education process will be key to the future of our children."

When asked why the company has made Verbosity available to the various organizations and for tournaments, Lou Ward, President of 4 SHO Entertainment Enterprises said, matter-of-factly, "We're transforming the learning experience for children from 'Why I have to know' to 'Why I want to know'. It makes all the difference in the world."
