Sports for one and Sports for all
*The classification for sports allowed has been updated as of 3/25/2015
Summer Sports and Winter Sports and all the Sports Between
For those of you who are wondering what sport you want to write about, or even if your sport is a sport, here's a general list of the sports that have been already approved of for this fest. They are listed under the 'Winter' and 'Summer' groups.
*Notes: Intramural sports, or 'all season' sports, are listed under 'Winter' sports as they are performed inside for major competition. 'All Season' sports will be marked with a '*'.
If you would like a broader list of sports, all sports listed under 'Physical Sports' on here will be accepted. In the category of 'Different Classification', those listed under 'air sports', 'athletics', 'endurance sports', 'skating sports', 'snow sports', 'strength sports', 'target sports', 'team sports', and 'wind sports' will be included. 'Electronic', 'table' and 'fictional' sports are NOT included.
Historical sports (such as jousting and sword fighting and throwing of large heavy objects very large distances) are also accepted.
Just for clarification, here are a few general terms about the sports used. Reminder, the sports listed below are a GENERAL list. A more comprehensive list can be found on the wiki article linked above.
Basic parameters for sports accepted in The Game Season:
= Sports must be recognized as a sport by the general population (not fantasy sports that are created by the author or require research from the reader to understand them and where they came from).
= Sports must be physical or in the classifications list given by the fest and based off of the wiki (above).
= Sports can be altered by the author according to their story (sci-fi au, fantasy au, dystopia, etc) but MUST be recognizable as a sport that exists either in modern society or has existed in world history.
