Question

2.Explain the characteristics of games and sports?(8)​

Answer 1

When Suits speaks of "a specific state of affairs," he is referring to the goal of the game. The goal here is not winning, per se, but it relates more to a situation where players use their skills to achieve a particular end point. In badminton, that end point arrives when the shuttle has landed on the court of the opponent, while the end point in soccer is when the ball goes into the goal. Consequently, the skill required of the badminton player is to strike the shuttle over a net to a point where the opponent cannot return it, while soccer players must kick the ball with their feet or strike it with their heads away from the defenders and past the goalkeeper.

ALL GAMES HAVE RULES

The second necessary condition is that a game must have rules, and these rules provide both descriptive and defining frameworks for how the goal is to be achieved. The descriptive framework describes the setup of the game and its equipment, while the defining framework stipulates what means of play are required and permitted. In volleyball, for example, the descriptive framework refers to the measurement of the court, the net and its height, and the type of ball that is used. The defining framework of volleyball is that the ball is not allowed to touch the ground and that you are allowed three hits to send the ball over the net.

The descriptive and defining frameworks (i.e., rules) also serve to differentiate between different games. As an example, what defines handball as handball and not basketball are those rules that describe how you can move with the ball and run with it in ways that are not possible in basketball. The defining rules of softball list the ways the ball must be sent to the batter, which differentiates it from baseball and rounders, other sports whose goal is to hit the ball with a stick and run around a series of bases.
