While most of the sporting events had Human VS. Animalian comparisons, there were a few events that Animalians could do that humans couldn't. While some would complain about such exclusion, their arguments would quickly deflate when exposed to the counter arguments.

One such event was the IAC Flyer games, though nobody really complained about it being separate from the other events because humans really can't fly without mechanical "assistance". Another division in the Flyer Games, especially one that was understandable, was the separation of the Dinotopians from the "modern" birds, mainly because winged reptiles fly completely differently from modern birds.

On the other hand, one that was generating the most complaints was the IAC Hunter Games, mainly because of the restrictions. While some would argue that humans were quite capable of hunting, the argument fell apart when people pointed out that humans had to develop tools/weapons in order to hunt the larger animals. Others countered the argument that many humans, royal or otherwise, had notoriously died during hunting trips, even when the killing animal was normally a prey animal.

Other than these two issues, the IAC was moving along quite fine, even with the unexpected recent discoveries.
