Good morning everyone once again this is Sir Nan and I'm here to give you the updates of the 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 the 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, Hinebra, pinataob ang TNT sa PBA Finals. Observe the position of the verb o pandiwa, which is pinataob.
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 FIVB finals. 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 pinayuko, pinataob, nilampaso, sinungkit, 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, 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 won, then immediately follow it up with the reason how he won. how they or that team beat the other team or other player. Use sports 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 write is the name of the tournament or the name of the event like PBA Finals, UAAP Women's Volleyball, and many more. The next is the venue or the place where it was held like Araneta Coliseum, F.E.U. 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 pandiwa or verb, but use sports lingo verb be mindful.
It is always good to read an article which uses verb that fits the game. For example, pinabagsak, pinataob, nilampaso. Pinataob ng Indonesia ang Thailand sa. But be careful of the verb 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 like demolished, destroyed, nilumpo, tinambakan, and many more. Let me read to you the example of a lead. In English, Imus Bombers came away victorious after taking down the host Das Marinas Spikers in their Game 1 of the Best of 3 Series 25-22, 21-25, 25-19. 25-20 during the Intertown Volleyball Tournament held at Ugnayang Lasal Gym yesterday.
If you will notice, the details are written in order according to the suggested format. In Filipino, Ginulantang ng Thailand Regu ang second-seeded na South Korea upang mapasakamay ang unang tagumpay 2-0 sa 29th Kings Cup Sepak Takraw World Eliminations na ginanap sa Seoul Arena kahapon. 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. Isulat kung sino ang best player at ang kanyang mga naiambag sa laban or they are called the statistics. The contribution of the best player. For example, Rochelle Sumilang top scored in their team's huge victory, producing 18 points coming from 15 attacks, 2 blocks, and an ace.
Those are the statistics. Then you can also add some player who also contributed in the game. While the like...
Mary Tabanag-Sally Manahan-Duo also became a problem for Dasmariñas as they registered a total of 28 markers. In Filipino, this is how you read it. Gray Pacifico beat Cai Rhegu after losing 15 points where Pitorito was listed as the most crucial player enough to win the 21-11, 21-18 domination and win the first place in the first game of the tournament. Again, for team sports, it is kind of different when you write it for the second paragraph.
For individual sports like badminton, tennis, boxing, isulat ang pinakamahalagang nagawa niya sa buong laban na sa tingin mo ay naging dahilan kung bakit siya nanalo. Maaaring ito ay galing doon sa nilagay mo sa lead kung paano natalo ang kalaban. Dagdaga na lamang o i-justify sa pamamagitan ng mga specific details na napanood sa laban. For example, So, ang nilagay mo sa second paragraph na detalye ay maaaring ay nandoon sa first paragraph. Ginawa mo lamang siyang mas specific para masuportahan mo ang iyong lead.
For the third paragraph, it is too easy. All you have to do is to interview or find the quote that the player or the winning coach shared. Ilalagay mo ito dito.
Kung wala naman, ay diretsyo na sa highlights ng bawat set. So this is how you write the quote or the interview for the third paragraph. So you have to write the quotation mark, Hindi pa nakaka-recover si 30 sa COVID-19 mentally, kaya medyo hindi pa lumalabas ang kanyang tunay na laro.
Kilala natin kung paano maglaro si 30. Then, quotation mark again, Annie Coach Ryan Gregorio. 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 the entire details. So I have here some suggestions where you can also use.
For the 4th to 5th paragraph, you can use at least 2 paragraphs about the highlights of the first sets or the first quarter or rounds. For the 6th to 7th paragraph, at least 2 paragraphs of the highlights of the next round. And for the 8th to 10th or more, all 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. Now for the 11th paragraph, you have to know the best player or the best scorer of the losing team and the contribution.
I'm talking about the statistics. For example. Dasma Ace is Spiker Pascual wounded in 20 or wounded with 20 points coming from 15 attacks, 3 denials, and 2 service aces but barely got help from her teammates to succumb to the visiting emus.
So you can see here the statistics which is 20 points coming from 15 attacks, 3 denials, and 2 service aces. For the 12th paragraph, this is another suggestion. If you still have some interview or quote 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 these formats.
Sino ang susunod na laban? Ano ang standing? When I say standing, it's all about the record.
win and loss. Then ano ang nakuhang premyo o kaya yung mga maliliit na detalye o stories or background of information sa kanya or sa kanilang team. I hope marami kayong natutunan sa aking lecture for today. Good luck in your sports writing.
