Did IBM put THIS in Second Life too?

From The Age this afternoon:
The first day of the Australian Open has been marred by crowd violence, with more than 150 supporters ejected from Melbourne Park for racially fuelled fights.
I wonder if they re-created that in Second Life too, outside the virtual Melbourne Tennis Centre that IBM have created in the popular metaverse - a whole bunch of little Serbian and Croatian fan avatars being kicked out by the polic avatars.

For those that didn’t see the news last week, there’s a Fairfax article here on IBM’s Australian Tennis Open experiment.

A sneak peek is here at YouTube, but I’m not sure it conveys the experience too well.
