Also at least the winner is clear...he or she hits the target. The caber toss actually has some logic behind how it's done, and there are now computerized scoring systems which determine the closest angel to vetcle that the caber lands. The shyte sports for me are the ones which are completley subective to the whims of judges. Not just a blown call or a funky strike zone...but like a bitter old bag of turds scoring lower than everybody. Races, boxing, and that sort of thing are rather clear. There are some splendid sports...usually simple in nature where villages, or sections of a town play each other. "Shinty" was like that, and "Ba" still is. thirsty games
