This is almost the plot of The Hunger Games.
At PAX, the Penny Arcade Expo, a large video game convention, they have an event called The Omegathon where random attendees play a series of video games to decide who is the best.
When the event has proper commentators, it is the best thing at PAX.
(Unfortunately, most of the time, the person with the mic barely commentates and doesn't even tell the audience which competitor is on which screen, which sort of ruins it for spectators.)
no murder tho
yet
(and the hunger games is similar to the japanese movie "battle royale", famously liked by feet lover quentin tarantino, probably just because he can point to it as stupid trivia about where the battle royale genre comes from, the same thing I'm doing now)
No intentional murder, but I assume that if grandma gets drafted into the ski jump or if random untrained people like Dale the electrician are pitted against each other in Olympic fencing, boxing, or rugby, there are going to be a few deaths.
