Site name: Sports

~~sports.codidact.com~~
Description
---
A site for practitioners, organizers and fans of sports.
Scope and topics
---
The scope is intentionally kept broad in the initial stages. If activity picks up and there is an active community, the scope can be reduced or re-defined as needed.
**On-topic**
Sport rules and practicing, training advice, officiating sport events, sport equipment, sport results and statistics, sport fan questions regarding performance, attendance or statistics of professional athletes/teams, sport history, sport ethics, player trading rules, event participation rules.
Sports include any athletic activity on any level - professional or amateur - in the normal everyday definition of the term. Including but not limited to motor sports, animal sports, e-sports.
**Off-topic**
Identification questions of players/teams/items etc. Hypothetical or opinion-based questions like trading speculation, who would win or other subjective questions that can't be answered with facts.
Overlaps
---
The biggest overlap is with Outdoors, where a lot of questions will simply be on-topic at both sites. The main difference might be that sports is generally something that people compete in, which is not a requirement for activities posted at Outdoors. Applying common sense will probably get us quite far.
Just as an example of how overlaps may clash: shooting sports would generally be on-topic at both sites. Shooting at indoor ranges would be on-topic here but off-topic at Outdoors. Hunting (or fishing etc) competitions would be far more suitable for Outdoors than for Sports. Hunting as a hobby or animal behavior questions would be entirely off-topic here, but perfectly on-topic at Outdoors.
There may be some minor overlaps with the following:
* [Communities](https://proposals.codidact.com/posts/289913) - organizing sports leagues and clubs
* Cooking - training food/diets
* Photography & Video - capturing sports on camera
* Physics - calculating how bodies move according to the laws of physics
* [Shopping](https://proposals.codidact.com/posts/289770) - questions about equipment/gear, resources (like books or classes), sports paraphenelia, sports event tickets
* [Video Games](https://proposals.codidact.com/posts/288625) - e-sports, competitive multiplayer, speedrunning
In the rare case where that happens, we should direct the question to the more appropriate site.
Community/target audience
---
Any athlete, amateur and experienced officials, referees, umpires, sports enthusiasts and fans.
Additional features
---
There could potentially be a need for separate categories in the future for things like sports fan questions or equipment recommendations.

Changed the proposed name to "Sports" and formalized the proposal. Fleshed out scope and community overlaps.

Back on SE, my primary community is Sports, but that does not exist here (yet).
~~My idea is to create a Sports site for this community, and while I'm not exactly sure how many people would be on board with this idea, I think it's worth a Shot. Here' my idea:~~
Name: Scoreboard Solutions
~~Scope: Questions about the rules, play, what-ifs, officiating, and _maybe_ the creation of sports. I'm not set on that last one though.~~
Target audience (who uses it): Any athlete, amateur and experienced officials, referees, umpires, sports enthusiasts, those who know a lot about sports, etc.
What **shouldn't be** allowed: Player identification, questions about new or unknown sports without context, questions regarding hypothetical trades or anything else that cannot be proven with fact, opinion-based posts, more to be decided late on.
