Okay, I got a scenario for you;
Modern day Earth, except with magic. Wizard duels are a sport.
The adventure/s: a big wizard duelling tournament event, mage duellists from around the world are coming to compete for the prizes. PCs are duellists, VIP spectators, event staff, or whatever.
Stuff used to spice up the scenario:
Gimmick matches - exotic arenas, special rules, etc.
Duellists with eccentric personalities
Bands playing - miniature concerts?
Party in the street or private party - sudden attack by evil wizards?
The big fancy skybox with all the rich and famous spectators
Gambling - match fixing?
Corruption in the style of the FIFA scandal
Cheating
Any ideas for a big sporting event based around wizard duelling?
Inspirations for the scenario:
The Olympics, of course
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (my favourite HP book)
The Hunger Games
Football in general (soccer, gridiron, and so on)
Pro-Wrestling
Anyone got any suggestions?

Apropos of nothing, OP can't self-bump.
There are exceptions, but none are relevant.
I take last years football matches replace the names of the teams with magical sounding names.
Liverpool becomes Burning Lance's for example, the players then can bet and follow the teams in game if they so choose.
If they fuck with the teams then I can just change the outcomes. Burning Lances Vs Cat Sabor, in the real world chelsea win this match but the PC's kill off John Terry. So then I just swap the scores and with liverpool taking all the results that chelsea get .

How do I know you're not OP trying to bait another bump by being unnecessarily antagonistic? I'll forgive you because this is a genuinely somewhat interesting idea. I've actually wanted to do something like this before in Mutants and Masterminds but it became something else, for better or worse.

So magic duels are The Truman Show?

I've never watched it. Maybe?
