Hey guys, just thought we'd clear up some confusion about how sports work in this world.

To begin with, there are two divisions. A powered division and an integrated division. Most sports are run under integrated regulations, which means that powered humans and non-powered humans play on the same team against a similarly integrated team. Powered divisions only exist in sports where teams are either small or competition is based more on an individual's abilities.

For example:
Integrated (Team) Sports
Football
Baseball
Basketball


Powered (Divisions) Sports
Swimming
Track & Field
Tennis


During all sports events every member of a team (both powered and non-powered) wear regulation bands. These bands are fitted to the athlete's body, usually at the wrist or ankle, which monitor power usage and relay the information to PPAC officials. Should an athlete use their abilities to cheat, serious disciplinary action is immediately taken. However, accidents do happen; the bands registering of power output will alert officials to whether power usage was accidental or intentional.

The Powered Persons Athletic Coalition (PPAC) is a national organization that helps regulate athletic events in which powered individuals participate. All referees must be PPAC certified in order to oversee a match.

While powered individuals with certain gifts are not denied access to athletics which pertain to their gifts, it is not encouraged.

For example: A hyrdrokinetic will not be looked upon favorably in rowing. However, there is a division in swimming they may participate in freely.

Additionally, athletes on integrated teams must play positions which their coach feels both plays to the team's strength and does not endanger its PPAC standing.

For example: A speedster may play football, but they will be barred from a running back position.

The overall goal is to keep sports fun and the competition fair.
