Virtual sweat and avatar tears will be the order of the day as the Army and Air Force Exchange Service's "Kinect™ for Xbox 360® World Wide Competition" comes to the Keesler Exchange, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 20.

Participants can forgo the buttons and controllers as they'll compete in track and field events using their entire bodies.

"This event is open to all ages, but anyone who wants to play needs to register as soon as possible because we are limited to six hours of competition," said general manager Penny Madison. "Registration is handled on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of the tournament."

Xbox live cards, video games and T-shirts are given away at the event.

The player with the highest score wins a new Xbox 360 Kinect sensor and competes against the top scorers at exchanges ot Army and Air Force installations throughout the southeastern U.S. The regional player with the highest score wins an Xbox 360 250GB Kinect Bundle.
