Originally Posted By Terminus TSMM could be a sport, I guess. As with all measurable types of video games. I guess to get it to that status, it would have to be attempted competitively. If someone set up a league, created teams, and some rules about how you could play TSMM in their league. Like you could only six people on a team go through 1 ride through each, and the scores were added up for your team. Then they put it on TV as a sports show, would that not sound like a sport? I guess it would be a lot like a game show... Hm... I need some refining of my rules....

Timed dashes through the treehouse DL could become THE sporting venue of the decade.

Various stunts are worth X amount of points in a routine. You're competing against other teams that are judged within a specific set of criteria. And it's clearly athletic. So maybe rules and scoring isn't what determines a sport, but it's more about moving an object from one place to another. A ball through a goal, a runner across a finish line, etc. I just have a hard time seeing horseshoes as more of a sport than competitive cheerleading. Unless, of course, you have to pitch the horseshoes while the horse is still wearing them.
