good morning everyone once again this is cernan and i'm here to give you the updates of sports writing but first let me tell you this like any other writing categories all you have to do is to love and like the sports because it will help you better understand the game you don't need to be an athlete just love the sports here are the technical guides for both beginners and advanced writers i want you to understand how writing is done in sports first you have to learn how to make a headline just like news writing next the lead which is the most important part of your story and lastly the details which gives the readers the specific details of what happened during the game let's begin with headline writing rule number one you have to strictly follow the svo format svo means subject verb object agreement always put the verb in the middle of your headlines be it in filipino or in english for example [Music] pva finals observe the position of the verb or pandiwa which is pinata it's always written after the subject if you will not follow then automatically it's a no for me and everyone who understands this particular writing category another example in english serbia upsets brazil in fibb finals the verbs is or the verb is upset and it was placed after the first subject again follow the rule for rule number two if you are writing in english your verb should be on active voice or present tense like beat defeat bag cops destroys like in the given example upsets which is written in active voice not past tense remember that but in filipino it is written in past tense like pinayoko pinata nilam paso sinunkit and many more so don't be confused for english it's present tense for filipino it's past tense let's go to the lead lead is considered the most important part of the story because you can read here almost everything you want to know in just one paragraph you heard it just like in news writing is sports writing is also following the one sentence one paragraph rule so what are the details that you have to include i have already arranged the positioning of the details meaning you have to follow the order in this suggested format before you can explore with other formats follow the rule follow the order of the details these are the very important parts or details that you have to include as much as possible first is the team or the player that one then immediately follow it up with a reason how he won how they or that team beat the other team or other player use esports lingo that are suited to the article then after that mention the team or player that lost then write the score simply do not write anything as much as possible next to next to right is the name of the tournament or the name of the event like pba finals uap women's volleyball and many more the next is the venue or the place where it was held like araneta coliseum feu gym and finally the date of the day or the day rather that the game was held again follow that number rule or follow that number one rule in writing the lead rule number two for the lead if you are writing in filipino always start with bandiwa or verb but use esports lingo verb be mindful it is always good to read an article which uses verb that fits the game for example [Music] indonesia and thailand but be careful of the world that you will use you have to observe the margin of score if the score is too close like 98-96 do not use words like is dominated do not use filipino verbs or english verbs that doesn't fit the meaning or the idea if the score is like 98 56 then you can use verbs like demolished destroyed nilumpo tinambakan and many more let me read to you the example of a lead in english emus bombers came away victorious after taking down the host das mourinho's spikers in their game one of the best of three series 25 22 21 25 25 19 25 20 during the intertown volleyball tournament held at ognyang lasalle jim yesterday if you will notice the details are written in order according to the suggested format in filipino [Music] thailand and second seated in south korea 2-0 so 29 kings cup separate crow world eliminations soul arena now for the second paragraph this is also called the supporting lead but we have different ways on how to write it if it is for team sports like basketball volleyball etc or they are called the statistics the contribution of the best player for example rochelle sumilan top scored in their teen's huge victory producing 18 points coming from 15 attacks two blocks and an ace those are the statistics then you can also add some player who also contributed or contributed in the game while the the like mary tabanagh sally manahan duo also became a problem toward us marinas as they registered a total of 28 markers in filipino this is how you read it [Music] in [Music] again for team sports it is kind of different when you write it for the second paragraph for individual sports like badminton tennis boxing is [Music] for [Music] for the third paragraph it is too easy all you have to do is to interview or find the code that the player or the winning codes shared highlights so this is how you write the code or the interview for the third paragraph so you have to write at the quotation mark now for the 4 to 10 paragraph all you have to do is to write all the highlights of every set quarter frame or any parts of the game that is that is the entire details so i have here some suggestions where you can also use for the fourth to fifth paragraph you can use at least two paragraphs about the highlights of the first sets or the first quarter or rounds for the six to seven paragraph at least two paragraphs and highlights dancing around and for the eight to ten or more all the uh the highlights the important highlights of the last set last quarter or last round you can focus on the runs the scores and the strategy on how it was done by a player or by the team remember one sentence one paragraph read the example of the article for the fourth and tenth paragraph [Music] [Music] now for the 11 paragraph you have to know the best player or the yes or the best scorer of the losing team and the contribution i'm talking about the s statistics for example basma ace is spiker pasqual wounded in 20 or wounded with 20 points coming from 15 attacks three denials and two service aces but barely got help from her teammate to succumb to the visiting emus so you can see here the statistics which is 20 points coming from 15 attacks three denials and two service aces for the 12 paragraph this is another suggestion if you still have some interview or code with the losing player or the best player of the losing team or the losing coach you can also write it there and lastly for the last paragraph you can also put there this [Music] team [Music] lecture for today good luck in your sports writing
