What is fair play about? Basically there are five principles of fair play, namely:

1. Respect the rules

2. Respect the opponents

3. Respect the officials and their decisions

4. Have everyone participate

5. Maintain self-control at all times

Just imagine what sport would be like if everyone observed these fundamental principles. Winning is without value if victory has been achieved unfairly. To cheat is easy but it brings no pleasure. On the other hand playing fair requires courage and character and is more satisfying. Fair Play always has its reward even when one is on the losing side. After all, sport is about games and games are pointless unless played fairly.
