Provides definitions of over 8,000 terms used in sports and games - both mainstream and the more obscure - from around the world. Entries cover specialized jargon (such as 'doosra', 'yorker' and 'bunt') equipment, strategies, venues, qualifying categories, awards, and administrative bodies. A comprehensive system of cross-references offers is also included to aid clarification.

The specialized jargon of some sports can be quite esoteric. Non-Americans, for example, are likely puzzled by baseball terms such as bunt, cut-off man, and safety squeeze, while the non-British may pause over cricket''s Chinaman, doosra, golden duck, off-break, popping crease, and yorker.

This new dictionary gives the definitions of more than 8,000 terms used in sports and games from around the world, including mainstream sports like basketball and billiards alongside the more obscure netball and snooker. Entries cover sports equipment, strategies, venues, qualifying categories, awards, and administrative bodies, while a comprehensive system of cross-references offers assistance and clarification when needed. An appendix lists standard abbreviations of sports ruling bodies and administrative organizations.
