I'm looking for info on the various Shadowrun-specific sports as background info for a run I'm planning for some new players. More specifically, they'll be hired to fix a sporting event of some sort, and I thought using a sport that doesn't exist in real life would help introduce them to a few setting aspects as a fringe benefit. So any info y'all can supply (or point me towards in reasonably attainable source material) would be great.
I'm interested in things like:

Shadowbeat (you can get it used reasonably cheaply) goes into some detail on Combat Biker and Urban Brawl.

Shadowbeat and the Seattle Sourcebooks (For the Stadiums) are about all you can find. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)
Which is sad, really, as I love Desert Wars! GO BLACK DEVILS!!! |

Shadowbeat also goes into detail about how they Shadowrunnified ™ existing sports (like baseball, football, etc). It's worth the price.

And if you happen to be curious about what teams are poking around NYC, there's always The Rotten Apple: Manhattan. All the corp-sponsored teams are listed for your leasure. Sorry there isn't much more detail than that.

SOTA 2063 and Target:Wasteland have information on Desert Wars if you're interested in that. Though that's less of a sport than organized warfare.
