I believe the games existed before the Shadow Lord took over so maybe they just reverted back to there pre-Shadow Lord state. Which I assume would be rather a test of skills rather than fighting abilities. The Shadow Lord simply made it about fighting so he could 'recruit' fighters for the Shadow Arena. With Fardeep back in control of the Champion Inn, I doubt he would have liked the games to be all about fighting.
