 * I've deleted the page because ultimately I can't see where this event passes notability guidelines as you didn't show any coverage in reliable sources (newspapers and the like) for the event and I couldn't find anything either. Please understand that an event's existence does not mean that it is automatically notable. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡)   04:36, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Smart Game
Please provide any evidence from a WP:RS reliable independent sources that these "Smart Games" events ever really happened. I have deleted them as hoaxes, as I couldn't find a single shred of evidence for any of them, which is strange for an annual event in the US with 10 to 20 thousand spectators. If you can't provide such evidence, then do not create any further articles on these games, as they will be considered vandalism and you will be blocked here.
