Sports Bar FAQ

First, watch this:

Flash » Posting And You...

Now, some FAQ's:

1. Will you think my thread about a made up sport such as "Professional Bear Wrestling" will get lots of laughs?

No, it won't.


2. Will The Sports Bar host Fantasy Leagues?

Most of the time, yes. It will be on a first come, first server basis. Posters are encouraged to start their own leagues if the original one is full.

3. Can I make threads explaining why my team is better than yours?

No, you can not. Unless your team has just finished winning the championship, you have no right.

4. Is Professional Wrestling, Dominos, Goldfish, Peeing Contests allowed topics?

No, please keep all nonathletic and performing arts in the wasteland.


5. Is Golf/Tennis/Dodgeball/Cheerleading a sport?

Depends on who you ask. Any competition that requires physical and mental preperation usually is considered a 'sport'.

6. Does this mean I can make threads about Cheerleading?

If that floats your boat. But I'm afraid you will be the only person on the boat.

7. Why is poker allowed, but other non-athletic sports allowed?

Because poker requires mental preparation as well as good stamina.


I will leave this open to discussion so you guys can chime in with some suggestions.

In all honesty, I don't care about poker being here. It wasn't me who moved the original poker thread. If the consensus with posters is that it should be a topic we can discuss then I don't see why I or any mod should keep it out.

If sitting and playing cards is a sport, then bodybuilding absolutely belongs. IMO, it belongs no matter what, but saying poker is a sport but bodybuilding isn't? I disagree with that vehemently.

It's really up to the community to decide. if most of you core guys want fishin and body building, then I can't say anything about it.

If you're asking for my opinion both are sports.
