In a game management server that manages a network multiplayer game, a game-holding-prior-notice-receiving unit receives a date and time for a prospective multiplayer game being held, and conditions for holding the game, and the unit registers them into a database. An entry-reservation-receiving unit announces a prior notice of the meeting being held and calls for participants. A user who desires to participate requests the entry-reservation-receiving unit to make an entry reservation. When receiving the entry reservation, the entry-reservation-receiving unit registers the reservation into a database. When the date and time that the meeting is expected to be held arrives, the execution managing unit generates data necessary for executing the meeting and manages the execution of the meeting to be held. A result presenting unit presents the result of the meeting.
