Yes it was made after the sports model, but in my opinion it is not a sport, no one would ever say the DARPA chalange is a sport, this is the same. yes it is a game, but not all games are a sport. for instance, lasts years game was much like tic tac toe. is tic tac toe a sport, no but it is a game, to call it a sport is to call human chess a sport. A sport is named a sport for one thing alone, it is the physical activness by a human which has a set number of rules from which you may compare yourself to another whom is actively participating in this same event.
