Abstract: The basis for achieving success in sport is technical preparation supported by adequate level of physical fitness. During judo competitions, athletes use technique to meet tactical objectives aimed to achieve victory. The modification of the rules of combat in judo that has been carried out in recent years has changed the course of competition. It seems to be interesting if there are relations between technical and tactical preparation expressed by means of indices and modification of the course of the fight caused by changes in the rules. The purpose of the paper was to determine Citation: Błach, W.; Rydzik, Ł.; Błach, the values of technical and tactical preparation of judokas during competition at the elite level.

  • 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.

  • Anuj at the 2009 Indoor Cricket World Cup in Australia
    The ICCA Cricket Club My 2009 Indoor Cricket World Cup Journey To Australia Selection I will fondly remember that day in April when I received a call informing me of my selection for the England U16 indoor cricket squad to play in the forthcoming World Cup tournament in Australia in October 2009. Mike Gatting had made the squad announcements at the Bristol training centre but not confident of selection, I did not attend this event! Having played indoor cricket from the age of 8, I was confident of my abilities but when I saw those big lads at the trials, I thought I had made a mistake. Of course I was overwhelmed and proud to have made it to the initial squad. The task now was to make it to the final squad of 12 players for the tournament. Preparation Our pre-tournament training was mostly based in Bristol over a period of six months. This involved rigorous fitness training as well as honing the skills of playing competitive indoor cricket matches. On a few occasions we played against the U19s and the men’s teams to toughen our approach. Indoor cricket was invented in Australia where they have over a hundred centres compared to our six! Needless to say, the international level of competition was expected to be very strong. This is the fastest format of the game and is gradually gaining popularity in all major Test playing countries. The ECB is taking control over the game from this year and it is anticipated that more quality facilities will be available throughout the country in the coming years.

  • On December 7-10, 2016, the Japanese Anti-Doping Agency
    JADA hosts the 10th Anniversary of the International Anti-Doping Seminar in Asia and Oceania On December 7-10, 2016, the Japanese Anti-Doping Agency (JADA) hosted the 10th anniversary of the annual International Anti-Doping Seminar in Asia and Oceania: “PLAY TRUE 2020 Week” in Sapporo, Hokkaido, in partnership with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), and with support from the Japan Sports Agency and the Government of Japan. This year’s venue, Sapporo, was the host city of 1972 Winter Olympic Games and 2017 Asian Winter Games. Over 60 participants from 31 countries, mainly from the Asia-Oceania anti-doping community, took part in the seminar, as did Athlete Committee members from WADA, the Asia Paralympic Committee (APC), and JADA. The theme of the seminar focused on the World Anti-Doping Code Monitoring and Partnership to Quality Practice, as well as “Leaders of Tomorrow” in which athletes and youth engaged to promote and develop the values of sport. WADA presented on a number of key topics including compliance and monitoring programs, as well as intelligence and investigations. In addition, Athlete Committee members from WADA, JADA, and APC shared their experiences with anti-doping activities and offered opinions on clean sport during presentations and panel discussions. Afterwards, participants broke into groups to discuss the challenges and successes with the Code and partnerships, as well as how to better encourage athlete engagement. On Day 3, high school students from Sapporo, who took values-based anti-doping education classes, joined the seminar to deliver their thoughts on the values of sport, and to develop their understanding of the values through an activity-based session called “New MO!” facilitated by Olympians and Paralympians mainly from Hokkaido.
