ATFS Bulletin 1/2018 ATFS BULLETIN Association of Track and Field Statisticians 1/2020 March/April 2020 Special Quadrennial Elections Edition PRESIDENT’S REPORT Dear All, I hope you are all well as this COVID-19 pandemic sweeps the world. Unfortunately like all other sports track and field athletics is almost non-existent. No one really knows when athletics will resume whilst some people hope there maybe something later in 2020 if we recover well from this pandemic. Even though whilst most of us are isolating we will still be conducting our elections which are due this year. Our secretary Michael will have details in this Bulletin. Michael also has further news on the ATFS Website which he has updated. The up- dated site now has the work done so far by Richard Hymans and Pino Mappa in their re-working of annual men’s rankings. They are currently working on the 1930’s. Please have a look at the website and send any comments you may have to Michael. I have also put on the website the almost full results of the Asian Games since 1951. I say almost as some of the early editions and some later one’s don’t have all the de- tails. If any member has anything to add or has corrections please let me know. The next lot will be the Pan-American Games. I have tried to acknowledge where I have got the results from and those who have been contributors in various ways. If I have missed anyone please let me know so I can add you. I have been working on these since the late 1950’s. I would like to thank Tomas Magnusson who went through all these results and made corrections and additions. Tomas continues to edit the work of 1900-1910 which continues to progress and I also thank the members of the team for their great work. I would also like to bring to your attention of the great work done by John Brant and Janusz Waśko whose latest edition of World Women’s Athletics 1911-1962 is now available. On a sad note I wish to pass on our condolences to our Treasurer Tom Casacky on the sudden passing of his wife Julie early April. We wish Tom and his family our deepest sympathies. Please stay safe and look after yourselves. Kind regards, Paul Paul Jenes President ATFS QUADRENNIAL ELECTIONS In accordance with Article 8 of the A.T.F.S.

Pete CAVA Obituary By: ATFS Member Rich Perelman Pete Cava , 73, the longtime information director for the Amateur Athletic Union and then The Athletics Congress, and noted A.T.F.S. member, passed away suddenly on Wednesday evening, December 18th, 2019. His daughter, Nancy , wrote to friends that “Dad was enjoying dinner with friends last night, when he felt ill and had serious chest pains. He was taken to Methodist Hospital via ambu- lance. Fortunately, my mom made it to the hospital in time to be with him before he passed.” Cava’s impact on Olympic sports cannot be minimized. He joined the AAU in 1974 to work on the association’s Junior Olympics program and then became the Media Information Direc- tor a couple of years later. He immediately began updating the AAU’s press information oper- ations, starting with a series of media guides for most of the AAU’s sports, at a time when Olympic sports received far more coverage than today. Suddenly, the AAU championship events began providing the same level of services that were common at the baseball World Series, NFL Super Bowl and at major NCAA championships: pre-event media guides and daily notes, pre-event athlete availabilities and news conferences and post-event record recaps, statistics and quotes. This was quite an undertaking as the AAU functioned as the national governing body for eight Olympic sports, including aquatics, bobsled, boxing, judo, luge, track & field, weightlift- ing and wrestling. Pete led the press operations program for the 1978 World Weightlifting Championships and 1979 World Wrestling Championships. In 1979, he left the AAU to become the Media Information Director of The Athletics Congress, devoted specifically to track & field. He greatly expanded the media information and opera- tions efforts, becoming a publisher of statistical guidebooks on cross country, the decathlon and heptathlon, race walking, indoor track & field, junior track & field, the U.S. National Championships and a seasonal track & field guide, the American Athletics Annual . Under his direction, the first-ever comprehensive calendar of U.S. meets was produced in 1983. Pete was also the face of U.S. track & field press services on the road, serving as the U.S. team press officer for numerous international meets, as well as five editions of the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials. He created a mobile but ever-changing team of sports information pro- fessionals, statisticians and track nuts to help serve the media at national and international events, known as the “TAC Press Box Crew.” Beyond all of this publicly-seen activity, Cava was also a gifted advisor and counselor to TAC Executive Director Ollan Cassell , to the AAU and TAC officers, on communications matters large and small.

  • Pioneering E-Sport: the Experience Economy and the Marketing of Early 1980S Arcade Gaming Contests
    International Journal of Communication 7 (2013), 2254-2274 1932–8036/20130005 Pioneering E-Sport: The Experience Economy and the Marketing of Early 1980s Arcade Gaming Contests MICHAEL BOROWY DAL YONG JIN Simon Fraser University This article sets out to historicize the development of e-sport (organized competitive digital gaming) in the early 1980s using three new conceptual frameworks. We identify e-sport as an accompaniment of the broader embryonic gamer culture, a hallmark of the “experience economy” concept, and as a succession of consumer practices whose development was coterminous with the rise of event marketing as a leading promotional business strategy. By examining the origins of e-sport as both a marketized event and experiential commodity, we see this period as a transitory era bridging different phases in the areas of sports, marketing, and technology, resulting in the expansion of competitive cyberathleticism. Keywords: e-sport, professional gamer, arcade, experience economy, event marketing, video games, public events Introduction In the early 2000s, competitive player-versus-player digital game play (henceforth e-sports) has been a heavily promoted feature of overall gamer culture. Although e-sport—known as an electronic sport and the leagues in which players compete through networked games and related activities (Jin, 2010)— has existed since the early 1980s, the increased attention toward the activity in the 21st century has signaled that the gaming industry is adopting more flexible avenues of public event consumption with the goal of generating higher profit margins. While stand-alone e-sports events are common, their use as adjuncts of other industry events, including major trade shows, press conferences, and even traveling orchestras, demonstrates that competitive gaming continues to play a major role in the machinery of game industry event marketing.
