Draft 5:
Chess player @@RANDOMNAME_@@ recently won the Quatrefield Cup, an important national chess tournament. However, it was recently discovered that @@HE@@ had actually been using a hidden electronic device to cheat.
Validity: has a judiciary system
1. "This is completely unacceptable!" yells the @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ Chess Committee's president. "It's obvious this case has to be taken to court, and @@RANDOMNAME_1@@ has to give the money back. Otherwise, how are we giving the true winner's money reward? We should turn cheating into a federal crime, and make trials the standard procedure for every case of cheating!
Effect: the national average chess ranking has dramatically dropped
2. "Is that really worth our time?" asks @@RANDOMNAME@@, an experienced judge. "Think of everyone harmed by crimes and accidents, and we're making trials about cheating in a chess game? The @@DEMONYMADJECTIVE@@ Chess Committee ought to deal with this internally. Let's only have judgments about serious matters! The government can give some funding to sport organizations as a compromise.
Effect:
3. "You are all missing the real blunder here," says @@RANDOMNAME@@, who placed last on several chess tournaments. "No matter how hard we hit them, they will always find a way to cheat. Instead, the winning move is to ban competition incentives, such as prize money and fancy medals. The real winners are all the participants: let's honor them equally for playing. It'll be a turning point, but a welcome change for @@NAME@@!"
Effect: foreign athletes are confused by the national chess rules
