What Is ‘Run It Straight’ and Why Did a Court Shut Down a Championship?
The Combat Sports Authority cancelled the event, saying it had not complied with the rules required for such an event.
The Run Nation Championship, a collision sporting event set for September 12th at Sydney’s Randwick Racecourse, has been shut down by the New South Wales Supreme Court on September 10th. Organizers argued that their “run it straight” event, where competitors run directly at each other to collide, was not a combat sport. However, the court’s decision implies it falls under the legal definition of a combat sport.
