Entry: Kabaddi the Game - A1117757
Author: Anushodhak - U233924

Hi There,

Here is my entry for review. Please let me know if it needs to be changed. I have tried to be as simple as possible. Most of the information is from refrenced sites but I have changed language and where possible and required. I have included what I thought is relevent.

Hello again,

This is a very interesting entry, I like it when entries on sports and games contain information about the history of the game as well as just the rules. I'm sorry it doesn't seem to be getting as many readers as your other entries on the subject of cooking.

I'm not sure what the Asiad is, is this a commonly used word that I haven't heard of? I'm guessing from the context that it means the Asian games.


Well done see you around

hi,

i had a quick look through the entry, and may have some more constructive comments later...

... but i just wanted to say that *i played kabbaddi* (at a fun level) at school!

occsasionally i've described it to people and they say 'yeah, yeah!', but i'm delighted to see an entry on it in PR!

back in few (sleeping) hours to say summat more constructive...

Hi!
Thanks for reading my entry!! Yes ASIAD is nothing but a term for Asian Games!
I have some fond memories of my high school days and Kabaddi. In my school, Selection committee, who used to select players for School’s Kabaddi team used to look for students with great body built rather hefty! I used to be obvious choice (Don’t get wrong ideas, I AM NOT OBESE). It used to be fun playing kabaddi in school uniform! I literally forgot rules of the game until I researched again. If you ask boys and girls what sports they play/ like, most of them will say Cricket/ football. Kabaddi is not growing any more in its home land though it is getting recognition worldwide.

Please feel free to share your comments!

Looks good to me I remember the game from watching the Scouts play it at my Dad's scout group when i was little... would have joined in, but i would have been squashed!

Nice entry I think channel four (in Britain) showed the game at one point.

The only thing I'd change is you mention the original purpose of the game twice- once in the first paragraph, and then later on about a third of the way through- this section explaination is really unneeded.

Thanks for feedback will have a look shortly!

Your Guide Entry has just been picked from Peer Review by one of our Scouts, and is now heading off into the Editorial Process, which ends with publication in the Edited Guide. We've therefore moved this Review Conversation out of Peer Review and to the entry itself.

If you'd like to know what happens now, check out the page on 'What Happens after your Entry has been Recommended?' at EditedGuide-Process. We hope this explains everything.

Thanks for contributing to the Edited Guide!

Congratulations!

I've never heard of the game myself, but it will make a fine addition to the EG!


Cheers!

Hi Gordon the Scout,
Thanks for appreciation!! You know I feel motivated to work on more such entries! I am researching some other indigenous games, crafts, management and cooking! (Right now composing an entry on how to keep your naughty baby occupied with constructive activities so that you can work on your entries!)

Thanks to Z, Spiff, Emlar and KerrAvon to help me refining the entry
