TANGIBLE IMPACT
While it may sound to some like a simple issue of definition, there will likely be real-world impact on local mind sports and e-sports communities.
Perhaps the most obvious impact is likely to be in terms of financial support. Should activities be recognised formally as coming under the ambit of SportSG, the governing authority for sports in Singapore will then have to devote resources to ensure that those activities are able to grow and develop.
This could take the form of building up national associations to ensure the long-term growth of the individual sports, providing funding for related activities such as training of national teams and supporting them in competitions, and building a base of participants at various levels to create a pipeline of talent and community for each sport.
