Hardly.
In softball (and other actual sports) it is so unusual for an officials to even
seem to decide the result (remember the Russian defeat of the USA in basketball - when was that - '72?) that it is a big item. But in these exhibitions, the officials
always decide the result. The winner is
always determined by the judges opinions. Nothing more.
Having rules in a contest that is participated in by athletes does not mean the contest is a sport, especially when those rules amount to "whatever the judge thinks, or ate for breakfast this morning."
