 tournaments & contestsHere, Electricka explores what goes on in tournaments and other organized contests that occur in games related to the arts. about this featureA game is a competitive activity involving skill, chance, or endurance on the part of two or more persons who play according to a set of rules, usually for their own amusement or for that of spectators. Games are always competitions for or over something—to be first in a race, to win a prize, to win an argument, dispute, or controversy, to argue for or against something, to contest a controversial question. Even a debate is a sort of game. Some games—mostly children's games like teeter totter or pastime games like jacks or Solitaire—are so mildly competitive we sometimes have to think twice to identify the contestants and what they are fighting about. (In Solitaire you are playing against yourself or your computer). Because they are competitive, games can bring out the best and the worst in people. Homage to the players who risk their all on winning and loosing at an arts-related organized competitive game. Homage to the tournament mangers who make it possible. Electricka and her muses hereby invite you to share with them their joys and sorrows—their agony and ecstasy—their wins and losses. Join an exploration of their sometimes strange but always exhilarating humanistic adventure stories.
