Should this have both Sports and Recreation as categories, whereas sports is a subcat of recreation?--31dot 20:51, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Nope. Pick the one you think fits best based on the other entries in the category. -- Renegade54 21:01, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks.--31dot 21:06, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

So what is your determining factor between a "sport" and a "recreation"? According to Wikipedia, "a sport is an activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively." That would seem to apply to both this game and pool. Whereas "recreation or fun is the expenditure of time in a manner designed for therapeutic refreshment of one's body or mind." Like horseback riding. --Alan 21:25, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure I really had a "determining factor", I just picked one so it wouldn't be in both a subcat and a cat. I guess my thinking was that sports and games are different. Sports are for competition and games are for entertainment(for those playing them). It doesn't really matter to me though, feel free to change it.--31dot 20:30, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
