AGFIS - General Association of International Sports Federations

To celebrate the convergence of various sports in one giant competition, it seems like a great time to look at AGFIS - General Association of International Sports Federations. From them, I learned of the TWIF, the Tug-o-War International Federation; the WMF, the World Minigolf Federation; and FIC, the International Timekeepers Federation. Plus, I am so glad that they led me to ISTAF, the Internation Sepaktakraw Federation. I have been trying to find out the name of this fascinating Southeast Asian sport since seeing a brief spot on television about it many years ago.

I wonder if there is an International Federation of Meta-Federations.

Eric, you find the greatest stuff. Wow, what a sport. Who cares about beach volleyball (the only thing besides gymnastics, swimming and track that NBC seems to show in primetime) when there's Sepaktakraw!
