NEW YORK--There's no doubt about it: This is a sport.

There are leagues, coaches, pep talks, uniforms, corporate sponsors, loyal fans and spectators perched in stadium-style seating. There's coverage on the CBS-owned College Sports Television network (CSTV). But there are no balls tossed or races run. The events in which the 95 international "athletes" participated in were not your traditional sports, but rather Halo 2, Counter-Strike, Project Gotham, Ghost Recon, Quake 4 and Warcraft III. This was day one of a different kind of championship: The finals of the 2006 World Series of Video Games.
