Yes.

I've abandoned this approach.

As you say, it's clearly not designed to do this.

It's because you're using

It's because you're using hook_form_alter for something it's not designed to do.

The code above is trying to build the whole form array, but it doesn't work because the hook is only for altering existing forms. Looking at the code it generates there's no form tag, for example. Changing:

<?php
$form=Array (
?>

to:

<?php
$form += Array (
?>

Stops the form being destroyed, but might also break what you were trying to do. The way to show the user a form is to implement hook_menu with 'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form', and 'page arguments' => array('sportsa_add'), where page arguments is the name of the function that provides the form.

There's an example module with a couple of page hook examples, almost all modules include a menu example. user.module for example, has user_menu, one of the things this points to is the user_register form.

Anyway, not sure that's what you're trying to do, hope this helps nevertheless.
