Slapping Tournament

[robelneo]

btw, a hard slap is considered dangerous as they risk brain injuries in this case

It can be, I have seen two participants received 4 slaps each, one of them was knocked out and revived by ammonia, like all the others I cannot see the whole point of the competition, it's more brutal than watching an MMA and boxing because the gloves and the referee can protect you, but here who's going to protect you from what's coming from an open hand, where the one slapping you is taking an aim and taking a deep concentration to give you a big slap so he can knock you out.

I thought the slap fight looked so scary and extreme that I thought it would hurt a lot, the two participants slapped each other and even if the slap was very strong, it would knock one of the participants off the ground.
and even though this contest is extreme but this contest has rules to maintain safety, there are also referees who supervise and there are also procedures for slapping do not use your lower palms, so you have to use your fingers to slap 3 times and whoever is strong and defensive will be the winner.
and whether slapping is a sport that relies solely on the strength of the fingers to slap and endure the pain of being slapped, and how is it different from all other fighting sports.

It is good to know there are some rules in place as it looks kind of scary to receive so many hits, however we also need to think of the long term health of the participants, it seems they cannot avoid the hit and we know that if you are hit on the head many times in a row this can create injuries from which it is going to be impossible to recover, so without any headgear to protect the participants or weight divisions I do not know how popular this kind of contest could become.

wow, I never imagined that a slap tournament could become a gambling competition!!

I don't know about the slap tournament, I only saw a few videos on youtube, but is there already a betting platform for slap tournaments?!??

I was watching my favorite streamer MoistCr1tikal doing a side commentary on a Slapping Tournament, and what caught my eye was that it was sponsored by Totalbet, which means that it is a viable betting although I find it easy to bet if you have prior knowledge about who slaps the hardest. Are there any betting site that has this for betting?

Can we consider this really a tournament ? and is this also a skill? sorry but i don't find any inside this game but justa  purely entertainment.

You only need to stay standing and aware, and also release a strong slap?

I used to watch these videos in the fun compilation videos and memes but do they have world championship?

Crazy though! What are the games and champions we are going to see in the future.

yeah this is just for funny features mate and not a total sport.

yes, i believe so. this is a tournament per se. as it is a competition in a game. but in Russia it is considered as a sport, as you said it is more on entertainment side or like a show.
if nothing else, this is fun to watch, right? you can create a lot of memes from this game. lol
btw, a hard slap is considered dangerous as they risk brain injuries in this case

The risk of brain injuries is just a baseless allegation from The Sun to make a catchy and sensationalist title. But their claim is not supported by any quote from a decent medical source. As Obito said above many fighting sports are way more violent than that. Boxing, Lethwei, and Muay Thai are obviously more brutal and dangerous than slapping, and even women are practicing them. If you only give real slaps there is no danger to severely hurt the opponent.

Comparing it to other sports like boxing and other brawl-type of sports then this one is way too far off when it comes to possible injuries that the participant would possibly get

but we cant really still be that confident that the risk would be 0% because not all would be having that light hands to slap out faces.There's still impact which means

head is still prone for some shake up which might causes some possible implications but so far there are still no incident had been seen out.

I just searched about this tournament on youtube now and it is fun to watch for me. But seeing crypto betting sites have this on their sportsbooks is not possible yet for me because slapping tournaments is not considered a real sport yet. From watching some videos I guess it only happens in America, and not all will be happy to see this as a sport. If people want to really bet virtually on this type of tournament someone should have already created a website for this even if it doesn't accept crypto yet.

You are right on that, there is no such thing as 0% risk of injury, but that goes for any sport. That's where the weight categories should come into play, which would reduce the percentage lower than it is now.

I think not yet many betting platforms for slap tournaments because that sport is not too popular in other countries. Maybe if many promotions about that sport start and live in many places, it could give that sport grow and someday, many betting platforms will add that sport to their list.

We already see many sports that more brutal than the slap tournament and those sports already gets their fan and it can grow now. But for a slap tournament, it needs more time to attract more audience to become popular.

I think that we are currently looking at US and Russia as countries that are producing the most of the slapping content, and those are huge markets that can facilitate gambling and not be worried if other countries catch up or not.

Actually i believe that this is not yet considered as sport because what is the skill on this?

Does the old times declared this as sport?

it is not about whos brutal or not, But what is the purpose and who are the audience?

Slapping tournaments can't be compared with Muay Thai, as you both said about Muay Thai, it's a fighting sport, you need to train for that, a lot of practice for speed and strength... while for slapping tournaments you only need strength! So you put two big guys on each side and you watch who will slap harder, and who will endure longer... I watched it a few times, just for laughs. It's not something I would place bets on, maybe just for fun... like when I am with some friends and we will place bets on our favorites! Nothing big, for fun and laughing...
I also watched some women slapping... some of them are even funnier!

What part of my reply did I say that I am comparing Muay Thai to slapping tournament, and even if I didn't compare, both needs some sort of competition and they involved something physical so I think in my book it qualifies as a sports.

The small market of slapping tournaments is what makes it difficult for bookmakers to make bets on it I think. Whenever I watch videos on the sport than I notice that there is no real weight or height category. The difference between the athletes is quite substantial. And it seems that the heavier guy always wins, except if there is a low shot. So for this to turn into a real betting sport we need more contestants, fans and also more rules.

I think that we are currently looking at US and Russia as countries that are producing the most of the slapping content, and those are huge markets that can facilitate gambling and not be worried if other countries catch up or not.

We will see it later. While the slap tournament is available in the US and Russia, people can watch the slapping tournament on Youtube.

In the other country, that will not call as a sport. Maybe the player needs to improve their strength to have more power to slap their opponent. Maybe in the old times, that is not called a sport, but we do not know what will happen in the future.

it is not about whos brutal or not, But what is the purpose and who are the audience?

The purpose is to search for other entertainment that can give us more fun. The audience is people who enjoy the game and they willing to spend their time waiting and watch the tournament.

Maybe right now, the market of slapping tournaments is small, but we do not know in the future because if there are more promotions about the game, maybe that game can grow. The bigger the player will have big power, but that will not always like that because the small player can have a big power if they can improve their strength.

If there is interest coming from more people than we will expect this sport being added by the bookies,

So far like what you have said there are only few places where this sports are available I do see some videos from the social media
channels, games that being shared and so far there are people who already see this and sooner or later if popularity being raised up
then expect that it will reached wider venues.

FYI Punchdown #4 will start on May, 22, 2021. You can bet on totalbet.
Anyway, I don't like the strategy used by the recent finalists (Kamotsky and Zalewski). They both tilt their head down, perhaps to avoid getting slapped on the jaw.
This sport has a bright future, but the inconsistency of the rules may hinder this sport to take off, unlike arm-wrestling when the rules are pretty much clear. Hence, we need some standardization of rules before holding international events IMO.

[DeathAngel]

I’ve seen this kind of thing before. It looks funny at times but in reality it’s not. You get people of different weights competing against each other, there’s no head gear protection. Some of those guys pack a real slap, somebody is going to get seriously hurt.

Actually i believe that this is not yet considered as sport because what is the skill on this?

I just watched some videos and the skills part is on hitting the right spot. Opponents are likely to go down if they're hit right on the chin not on the cheek. Some competitors also have beards and I think that's a way to "hide" their chin.

....

I wonder if they even have a weight division for this. You would expect a 370 pounds guy to hit harder than a 250. They are not allowed to dodge so they could at least arrange it per weight class.

I was wondering the same and failed to find one but I did find some fiat betting options as the sponsors of these tournaments are betting sites mainly. I was watching some videos and it looked fun almost like UFC they play a few rounds where you either knock your opponent down or there are judges who will score the fight.

Let me tell you one interesting thing though, like UFC there are drunk judges in slapping tournaments too and they make some bad decisions so be careful if you are betting on a fight where the fight doesn't end with a knockout. It is a fun thing to watch but if you ask me, I won't be betting too much on it unless there is more growth for the sport.

You're overlooking into things because there's no scientific proof that hitting one's chin is much more lethal than on hitting on the cheek.It all matters with the force on each slap and

doesnt really mind off too much on which spot where your hand will be landing on.Dont know if there are really some analysis into that but i dont really see any skills on this aside on
slapping out someones face. 

Weight division is somewhat ideal because mass of each should really be that close.

I do not even know if that sport exist if I do not read the thread from @OP

After I visited the links and did a little search about that sport, I realize that this sport is different from other sport, even about MMA or something like that.

Maybe soon, the rating of this sport will rise after this news spreads on many websites and that can attract more player from other companies that want to test their power.
