Kinect Sports Rivals World Championship begins

Xbox has announced the kick-off of the Kinect Sports Rivals World Championship, the first ever global motion-sports competition.

The World Championship will challenge players from around the world to compete in Kinect Sports Rivals for the grand prize of $10,000 in cash and a trip for two to one of four destinations. The grand prize winner will choose one trip, from one of the following vacation packages: a water sports adventure in Bora Bora, walking the Great Wall of China, trekking to Machu Picchu or skiing the Swiss Alps. Additional prizes include $500 to $5000 in cash for the top 10 places.

The World Championship will begin online on April 8 in the U.S., Canada, Mexico, Australia, and Brazil, and on April 11 in the U.K., France and Germany as competitors go head-to-head in the semi-final round of the global competition online. It will culminate with a live, in-person final championship this July at the San Diego Comic-Con, where top finalists from each participating country will battle for the grand prize.

Starting today, players who want to enter can register on the official website.

Kinect Sports Rivals launches for Xbox One on April 8, 2014, in North America, Latin America, Australia and New Zealand, and on April 11, 2014, in Europe.
