“…Therefore, it also explores the non-verbal staging of football and its agonistic or competitive structure (agon is a Greek term for struggle) as an aesthetic event. The analogy between football and theatre is based on this 'powerful communicative poetics' (Pyta 2015, p. 262), also known as agon aesthetic (Borge 2015).…”

“…�sta inversión es consecuencia del trabajo de autores como Paul �avis (2015), Andrew �dgar (2014), Yunus Tuncel (2013), Verner Moller (2003y Steffen Borge (2015), quienes han resaltado el aspecto más vital o violento del deporte en detrimento del más excelso o platónico: la excelencia.…”

“…Siguiendo con esta propuesta, autores como Steffen Borge, Andrew �dgar y Paul �avis han criticado a las propuestas tradicionales en estética del deporte por estar demasiado centradas en el valor de la belleza. Así, por ejemplo, en el caso particular del fútbol, Borge (2015) afirma que este deporte es habitualmente denominado como "el deporte bonito" porque exhibe una gran variedad de cualidades estéticas deseables y positivas. Sin embargo, el fútbol también puede ser emocionante y estimulante, aburrido y tedioso, agresivo y pasivo.…”

En este artículo, defendemos que se ha producido una inversión del platonismo a la base de la filosofía del deporte, similar a la acaecida en el ámbito de la filosofía occidental. Para ello, exponemos a qué nos referimos con el platonismo en la filosofía del deporte (§1). Más adelante, explicamos qué significa invertir el platonismo a raíz tanto de Nietzsche como de Heidegger (§2). Tras ello, identificamos cuáles son los autores que han provocado tal cambio en la filosofía del deporte, a saber: los filósofos dionisíacos (§3). Por último, mostramos cómo con sus propuestas dionisíacas producen un acabamiento de la tradición internalista (§4), para defender que éste es el paso inicial en la tarea de proponer una hermenéutica del deporte (§5).

“…If a game loses fairness and equality, then it cannot survive for a long time [16]. The various stakeholders of society define fairness, in which fair play gives games the characteristic of beauty [17]. The evolution of fairness was studied by Shirata [18] under an assortative matching rule in the ultimatum game.…”

The compensation system called komi has been used in scoring games such as Go. In Go, White (the second player) is at a disadvantage because Black gets to move first, giving that player an advantage; indeed, the winning percentage for Black is higher. The perceived value of komi has been re-evaluated over the years to maintain fairness. However, this implies that this static komi is not a sufficiently sophisticated solution. We leveraged existing komi methods in Go to study the evolution of fairness in board games and to generalize the concept of fairness in other contexts. This work revisits the notion of fairness and proposes the concept of dynamic komi Scrabble. We introduce two approaches, static and dynamic komi, in Scrabble to mitigate the advantage of initiative (AoI) issue and to improve fairness. We found that implementing the dynamic komi made the game attractive and provided direct real-time feedback, which is useful for the training of novice players and maintaining fairness for skilled players. A possible interpretation of physics-in-mind is also discussed for enhancing game refinement theory concerning fairness in games.
