A sportjáték fogalma és osztályozása jász és kun sportjátékok alapján (Szabó László)

László Szabó The concept and the classification of the sport like games on the basis of Jász (Jazyg) and Kun (Cuman) sport like games (Summary) The concept of the sport like game: in the case of the sport like games the main point is the prevalence of the movement, but this has to be brought into comparison with the age and the sex, as it is in the sport as well where the competitions are separated by age and sex. The game is a complex concept: it is characterized by the presence of full value of the permanent movement, intellectual skills, texts, melodies and the community of the players. In the sport the event is divided into competitors and spectators. The classification of the sport like games of the juveniles in the regions of the Nagykunság and the Jászság: 1. Struggling and strength games by pairs 2. Struggling and strength games by groups 3. Skill games by pairs 4. Skill games by groups 5. Team games with instruments played according to fixed rules In the 1940'

s there were national competitons of folk games where such disappearing games occured as the "méta" (game of rounder), the swingball, the "bige" (tip-cat), the "csürközés", the "teke" (bowling) the rules of which could be standardized since a numberless variety of them was played all over the country. After the I. World War there was a Tentative called "Nagykun Viadal" (Nagykun Tournament) for the towns of the region Nagykunság to match their skills in the sport. On these occasions traditional folk games appeared too beside the sport. Today when Chinese, Japanese and other Far-Eastern traditional sports appear as competition sports in their American version, one could perhaps popularize the competitions in Hungarian sports and sport like games too. It would be worth why.
