The Revolution of the Competitive Games

Abstract

The “revolution” in the title of this chapter is meant in the astronomical sense, that is, the movement of a body (a competitive arena, in our case) which makes an elliptical orbit, ending its journey where it began. Revolution is also intended in the etymological sense, with the prefix “re” denoting an orientation toward a new state, along with a sense of abrupt change, severing all ties with the past.
