    Games.
    According to Suits (1995) there are 4 elements that define a game.
    The goal. A specific task to be achieved.
    Means. A specific way to achieve the goal.
    Rules. They prescribe the legitimate means to achieve the goal.
    Game Attitude. (Lusory Attitude) The attitude required by all players so that a game can be played.

    Sports
    Suits (1995) argued that all sports are games but differ from some games in the following way.
    Skill: Sports involve skill.
    Physical Skill: A physically skillful movement is necessary to achieve the goal.
    Institutionalisation: characterised by leagues, an ethos, prizes, trophies, records and governing bodies that have emerged and sustained the sport for a significant period of time.
