Google is Chiskop's best friend

I can't even pronounce that word

 

[Leitmotif]

Hmm. How old is this sport, chiskop?

 

[chiskop]

Auditing?

-> Not a sport.

One more clue: no horses.

Hmm. How old is this sport, chiskop?

66 years

 

[Leitmotif]

So... fairly new then. Does it require a field or just a court? Or maybe open-range?

 

[Alan]

Yeah, bwana got the other one. And I'll give you a half point for frisbee, although the name of the sport is ultimate.

Haha fat chance

I said frisbee before you just added ultimate.

I'll give you 5% of my point

 

[chiskop]

No field, no court and definitely not open range.

alanf85: the winner of the competition was fairly decided by the question poser, who happens to be a highly respected lawyer. Who I am to quibble with his decision?

 

[Alan]

No field, no court and definitely not open range.

Male or female or both?

Swimming?

 

[chiskop]

Male or female or both?

Both, competing in the same competition.

Swimming?

Umm, no. not even close, I'm afraid.

 

[Alan]

No field, no court and definitely not open range.

Male or female or both?

Chiskop: Oh please he reacted to my answer first. If it wasn't for that you'd wouldn't have got it .

*sulks*

Talk to the lawyer.

*sulks*

so sue him
does it involve a board?

or does it involve any kind of pretense/fantasy?

 

[chiskop]

Dancing? no.

More clues:

• It is timed
• Some specific equipment is needed. No special clothing required, though at least some clothing is required.
• World Champs every two years, including this year

It does involve a board. It does not involve any pretense or fantasy.

Bonus: The board has 225 squares.

 

[Leitmotif]

What size are the teams, or is it individual competition?

Surfing!

 

[chiskop]

Surfing? No. Surfing obviously involves pretense.

Players compete individually.
