DUE: Monday February 4, 2013
FIRST POST ASSIGNMENT: I want you to think back to all of the games (sports) you played as a kid. They probably ranged from kick-the-can to backyard football. Think about all of the different rules you and your friends created. Think of how you kept score; how you may have kept stats. Now, I want you to think about creating a new sport.
By February, I want you to post the following parts for your first essay:
1. A description of your new created sport (One paragraph)
2. Rules and equipment needed (One paragraph)
3. Scoring system and how to win (One paragraph)
4. Environment your sport is played (One paragraph)
5. Rationale for why someone would want to play your sport (One paragraph)
It is your choice on how you organize your paper--just make sure you have all the required parts.
The game I have created is called Dog-Fives. The object of the game is to see how many high-fives someone can receive from my dog, Baby. Baby is a Chihuahua, and I have taught her how to give somebody a high-five. You sit next to her, and command her with the phrase “high-five” and she promptly raises her paws to meet your hand. However, she quickly gets tired of this command and will just begin to ignore you after a while. This is where the challenge comes into play.
ReplyDeleteThe rules are as follows:
• No treats are to be given to Baby.
• After Baby ignores your command three times your turn is over.
• Three hours must occur between turns, this is to ensure that Baby has gotten over the fact that she had to give numerous high-fives.
Equipment:
• My Chihuahua, Baby.
• Your hand.
The scoring system:
• All of the high fives are worth one point until the first time she ignores you.
• After the first time she ignores you, high fives are worth two points.
• After the second time she ignores you, high fives are worth three points.
• If you guess that it is the last high five you’re going to get and you are…
o Correct: five extra points
o Incorrect: docked five points.
The best environment to play the game is sitting on the couch with Baby. This is where she is most likely to perform the most high-fives because she likes being on the couch. However, the game can be played anywhere that Baby is present.
The reason somebody would like to play this game is because it is competitive and unpredictable. You never know what kind of mood Baby is going to be in, which could drastically alter the course of the game. Another reason they might want to play is because Baby is adorable, and who doesn’t like getting high-fives from an adorable puppy?

ReplyDeleteThe game I created is called curb ball. My game is about taking a rubber playground ball throwing it at the curb while you stand on the opposite curb. You have two people playing this game at a time. You stand on opposite curbs of each other and each get a turn to throw the ball at the curb. Once one of the people reaches the score of eighteen they win but you must win by at least two points. This game takes the skill of aiming the ball as well as techniques.
ReplyDeleteThe Rules of the game:
• You must win by two
• You can’t step off the curb when you throw
• You can’t block a shot
• You have 1 one minute time out
The equipment/people needed for the game:
• A rubber play ground ball
• Score keeper
• An official curb ball referee
The scoring system:
• The game is played up till eighteen
• You must win by two
• Each time you hit the curb is one point
• If you hit there curb and it bounces in the air not touching the ground and hits the opposite curb (the side you are standing on) then you automatically win that game
The best environment that the sport can be played is outside on a street that has curbs. Normally played in the summer time. You can see the curbs in the summer but in winter and fall they are covered with leaves or snow. You may play in the rain but if thunder and lighting is seen or heard then you have a delay of game for fifth teen minutes.
The reasoning on why someone would want to play this sport because it is simple and easy to play for the most part. The sport is a little different from most and makes it unique. The sport doesn’t require much equipment. It is a fun game that gets you a little active and gives you something to do when you are bored.

It is your choice on how you organize your paper--just make sure you have all the required parts.
1. The game I have created is called ‘RumBall”. The sport is a mix between boxing, sumo wrestling, wrestling, and pugil stick fighting. The sport will resemble the pugil stick fighting from “American Gladiators”, except on a wrestling mat, with sumo wrestling actions, and boxing style of game. Object of the game is to score the most points after 12, 3 minute rounds or knock your opponent out.
2. The rules of the game are the have the highest score after 12 rounds or knock your opponent out just as in boxing. Equipment involves: pugil stick, body bumpers, wrestling mat, and head gear. The rules are you must stay inside the ring, going out will give your opponent a point. During a round players are to try and hit the other player with the pugil stick anywhere except the groin area, bump the opponent to the ground, or knock them out.
3. Points are scored by striking the opponent in the head with the pugil stick or bumping them to the ground with your bumper. A player wins by having the most point at the end of 12 round or can win at anytime with a knockout.
4. The sport takes place in a gym or arena, or any venue that will hold a wrestling mat type of playing fled. The crowd will surround the playing area just like in boxing.
5. Someone would want to play this sport because it’s a fun way to test your toughness and fighting ability.
Everyone enjoys getting a nice back scratch and some competition…well safe to say that my game I created includes both! This master piece is called Backtionary. It’s a simple game that is similar to Pictionary except it’s on your back. A minimal of two people is needed with no maximum, you can sit or stand in a line to play and join the fun.
ReplyDeleteThe rules of Backtionary consist of:
-You only get two chances to guess what your opponent is drawing
-You can ask your opponent to redraw on your back, but no more than three times
-There should be a category established before the drawing begins
-No equipment needed; just players
To succeed in Backtionary you need to figure out what the opponent is drawing on your back so you get a point, if you keep guessing correctly the more the opponent has to continue drawing on your back. It’s a win win for you, you’re getting points and someone is drawing on your back. The goal for your opponent is to come up with a good picture to draw on your back so it’s difficult for you to guess. If you guess incorrectly the opponent gets the point and now it’s your turn to draw on their back. To win you need to get the best out of five.
Backtionary is convenient enough to play absolutely anywhere. You and your friend are in a waiting room and you want something to do? Play Backtionary. Waiting in line at Cedar Point? Play Backtionary. You may get some weird glances your way but if it gives you something to do, who cares.
People would love to play this game because of the simplicity of it. No worries about needing equipment, you can play whenever, wherever. It’s a great way to pass away time or if you feel like having your back rubbed.

ReplyDeleteThe sport I have created is a called Saturday night football. It is a game of 3 people that are on the same team but not at the same time. You have a quarterback, safety/cornerback and wide receiver. You switch to every position so this sport test your all around athleticism, on the field you start at the 15 yard line and get four down to score all pass plays. After you either score or get stopped the quarterback goes to safety the wide receiver goes to quarterback and the safety goes to wide receiver. This game you have a teammate but that teammate determines if you win or not. There is a league of 108 players who play a 36 game season. The 18 players with most points will go into a tournament and will be chosen at random to play a game with two other players to continue. As the tournament goes on the players with top 3 points will play in the Finals. Whoever has the most in the finals wins it all. There is a MVP which is who ever scored the most points. Quarterback of the year, wide receiver of the year, and safety of the year. That is whoever has the most points in their spot. The games are played on Saturday nights on ESPN. Players are selected from colleges and NFL teams.
ReplyDeleteThe rules are simple, the same NFL rules, and the same equipment also. This is a sport that is physical so the same things are needed. You will have two different colored jerseys one for offense one for defense and you switch in between rounds.
The scoring is pretty difficult if you are the quarterback and you throw a touchdown you get one point, if you catch on you get a point, if you catch an interception you get two points if you deflect a pass you get one point. If you throw a TD, catch a TD, and get a stop on defense then you get five points going into the next round. While on defense if you get scored on you subtract a point, if you throw an interception subtract one point and if you drop a pass subtract a point. If by any chance there is a tie, the way the game will be ended is by a field goal kick out from regular extra point distance.
The sport is played on a custom made football field that is a total of 50 yards with a huge fan base that sells out the stadium; this is a very popular sport on the rise.
This sport shows off your athleticism, courage and heart because at no point in this game will you be unable to win, which makes people want to show off their all-around talent instead of just one position talent. It’s a very fun but competitive game and it’s a game that is all about stats and yourself which some people care about more rather than the full out aspect of a team.

ReplyDeleteAre you ready to learn about one of the best kept secrets in the world of sports. Well I don't think you are but mr.rabbit is going to make me tell you anyway. This is the game of aplastante which means crushing in Spanish. This game was originally created by the ancient Mayans. The reason I know about the secret sport is because one of my distant relatives was one of the Mayans that created the game and passed it down from generation to generation in my family. His name was Jeremiah "flight time" shiggydoo. One of the best aplastante players of all time that was known for his extreme dunking. At every Thomas family function we play this game and I have become pretty good. A little side note to this is that the whole reason the Mayans did not continue their calendar after December 2013 is because they were to busy playing aplastante.
This game is a mixture of basketball and football. Played on a basketball court with a basketball but you wear a helmet and if desired you can wear some kind of shoulder pads but it is frowned upon.
Outside of the key the rules of the game are similar to that of basketball but when you enter the key is where the fun begins. This is where the football aspect of it comes to play all hitting is aloud no fouls.
Scoring is the exact same as basketball with 3 pointers and 2s. There are four 7 minute quarters played. at the end the winner is team with more points.
The game can either be played half court or full. But if played on a full court after the opposing team rebounds the ball and starts to take back to their side of the court they are fair game to hit until they pass the half court line. Once the person with the ball is taken down it is change of possession.
The reason this sport did not make it to the modern world was do to some kids were not cut for the extreme hitting so they split the game into basketball and football. People will flock to this sport to test their mental and physical strength and put their basketball skills combined with football skills to the test.

ReplyDeleteDescription:
My newly developed sport is called Faultball and it is a sport to where you will be tested in your endurance, strength, mobility, and aim. First, the game is a mixture between football and soccer with a twist. The game is played on a football field, 120 yards including end zones, and it is played with 12 players. The game is usually played with: 2 goalies, 3 defensive players, 4 mid field players, and 3 offensive players. However you may decide your lineup as you wish as long as the rules allow it.
Rules/Equipment:
The game is to be played on a football field. The players will wear shin guards, a helmet and cleats and the game will be played with a soccer ball. Goalies will be able to use padded gloves in order to block the ball. The rules are fairly simple. To start the game it will be a soccer type start where the ref will flip a coin and whoever wins will start with the ball at mid field. You are allowed to have a maximum of nine players on one side of the field at a time. The objective of the game is to get the ball over to the opposite end zone. you may kick the ball and catch the ball. You may not carry the ball for more than three steps. If the ball is kicked out of bounds the opposing team gets possession where it went out at except for when they try for a two point play. There is tackling, slide tackling, yelling, and gloating. There is absolutely no swearing or fighting allowed in this sport. If you are caught swearing or fighting your team will automatically be docked one point and will give up your possession. If you have not scored yet the penalty will be that you will not be allowed to play for the next 3 minutes and your team will lose their next possession.
Scoring:
You are able to score in two ways. One way is the most common way to score, and that is by getting the ball across the end zone line catching the ball; you may not carry the ball into the end zone it must be caught. This will earn your team one point. The other way to score is a bit trickier. You are allowed to kick the ball through the uprights of the goalpost which is worth 2 points, however; if you miss the ball is then placed in mid field and it is the opponents possession. The winner is the one to get 7 points or the team with the most points after 60 minutes.
Environment:
The game is played usually outside in warmer weather. The playing field is known as a football field. Don’t stop playing this great sport when it’s cold outside. You can play this game inside too just go to an indoor facility like an arena football field and play this game.
Everyone wants to play this sport because it is the ultimate test of competitiveness. You will need to have strength, agility, mobility, speed, endurance, and be able to think on the go. This will ultimately be the greatest sport in world history. Everyone will learn to love this game.

ReplyDeleteThe game that I have created is called baseball golf. It is a fun and outgoing game that you and your buddies can play to have a good time and still can compete at. It takes some patience, athleticism, focus, and sportsmanship because nobody likes a poor sport. The way the game is played is how it sounds all you need to do is hit the ball to the desired location. But the part of the athleticism and focus is hitting the ball not too hard and or too soft and in the right spot and direction. But what you want to do is to pick out a target that you need to hit or get past with the baseball and then do so.
The rules of the game are simple rule one is you cannot talk in someone’s back swing or it’s a do over. Rule two is you have to use wooden bat. Except if the distance to the target is over a par 5. Rule three is that you may not any type of drug or tobacco products during the time playing. Now to the equipment there are only three things you need to play bat, ball, and good attitude.
Here is how to score in the beloved game of baseball golf. First you start off with your drive toss up the ball however high you need and hit it to the location that you agreed upon. You can have as many hits as you need but every hit is a stroke just as is in golf. And clearly the object is to make it in the least amount of hits to win the game. And it goes from a par 2 all the way to a par 8 so be sure to chose the correct hits. And the winner is the person with the least score and if it is a tie game then the decider is a good old fashion game of mall cop. And to those who don’t know what mall cop is it is when you take 4 people two of which who tied are the cops and two others who are the thief’s. The first cop to capture the thief and take him to the location decided on wins the tie.
The environment my sport is played in would be a park or I very big indoor facility such as a stadium. And a couple locations around the Toledo area that would be good spots would be shore land Park, wildwood, any elementary school, and the University of Toledo campus.
Reasons for why you would want to play this. There is just one, because it’s a great sport that challenges you your opponents and your athletic ability.
My sport is Waterball. Waterball is like baseball in the water. When you and your team are on offense you want to try to score points. In order to score points the first batter will go up and hit the beach ball with their fist as far as they can. The object is not to have the opposing team catch your ball. If your ball is not caught you will run to the base. There are four bases First, Second, Third and Home, you assign these bases. When running to the base the opposing team will be trying to throw the ball at you, to hit you so you’re out. You have to try to dodge the ball; you can go under the water one time, for only 2 seconds between each base. You’re trying to make it all the way home so your team will score a point. When on defense your team has a pitch and 3 outfielders. The outfielders main purpose is to catch the beach ball and if not, to throw the ball to get the opposite team player out. There are 3 outs per inning. This game last for 7 innings.
ReplyDeleteRules:
- You are only allowed three pitches.
- If your ball is caught, you’re out.
- If you are hit with the ball, you’re out.
- If the ball goes out of water, it is a foul.
- You are only allowed 3 fouls and you’re out.
- There are 3 outs, then it’s the opposite teams ball.
- Only can go under one time, for 2 seconds between bases.
Equipment:
- Beach ball
- Water
- Your fist
- Assigned bases
Every time your team hits home plate you receive a point. In order to win your team must score the most points by the end of the 7th inning.
Have you ever been swimming on a boring summer day and just get tired of doing laps or playing boring marco polo? That’s exactly why this game is perfect! It is a way to be active with your friends and family having fun and being competitive. You can play this in a indoor pool, outdoor pool or even at the beach. In order to play this game you must athletic because you will be swinging, swimming, catching and even dodging!
My sport is called Mitball. It's a combination of Bad Mitten and Volleyball. The game will start with a serve and the other team has to get the birdie over the net with 3 or less hits. The net will be the same height as a volleyball net, and the court will be set up as a bad mitten court. The birdie has to go over the first line on each serve.
ReplyDeleteEquipment: birdie, racket
Rules: Each team has a maximum of three hits to get the birdie over the first line. Players are not allowed to to touch the net with their bodies or rackets. Each team consists of three people. This game doesn't have fouls or penalties.
This sport used rally scoring. Each score is worth one point and the game goes up to 15 points . The team that gets to 15 points first is the winner. If a player touches the net with their net or body that team will lose one point.
Mitball can be played inside or outside depending on the weather. If someone is playing the game outside they would play in either grass or sand. If someone is playing inside they would play on turf or hardwood floor.
People would enjoy playing his sport because they can play year round.

ReplyDeleteDo you consider yourself to be a true hunter? Do you feel as though you can catch anything? If so then this sport will be a true test of your ability. The sport I'm talking about is "catch".
The rules and regulations are as follows. There are two teams of 4. There are three chasers and a grease monkey. The goal of the game is to catch the opponents' grease monkey. The grease monkey must be lighter than 120 pounds. this player typically wears a pair of swimming trunks, but players have been known to wear speedos. The grease monkey is also soaked in massage oil in order to make catching this player very difficult.
Each catch of the grease monkey is worth 1 point. the game is played to 21, but you must win by 3.
The equipment is simple. all you need are a few guys and a bottle of massage oil.
The sport is typically played on a soccer field. both teams are inside the center circle, and the grease monkeys are in opposite goals. you reset after every point.
The reason why people would play this game is that it truly tests your ability as a hunter. It also tests your stamina as a grease monkey.

ReplyDeleteThis game makes you put your reputation on the line. This game challenges the "man" or "woman" you really think you are. this is a game of fearless competition. The name of my sport is best known as benching. However it could also be called bubble breaking. Don't play this game if you think you're "too good" or "too cool". You sit on a bench next to a complete stranger and you have to touch them for one minute. if at any point you break contact, the clock stops. this game could potentially be very dangerous!
Rules and equipment:
The rules of this game are as followed:
1.)You must sit next to a complete stranger
2.)You must not assault this person. You must do it rather casual
3.)you have to reamain in contact for one minute. if contacts breaks, the clock stops.
Equipment
1.)Yourself and at least one other
2.)a bench
3.)a stranger
Scoring system:
the highest possible score you can revieve per round is 60. youi get one point per second you are in contact. for example; if you only last 45 seconds until the person gets up and walks away, says something to you, or assaults you in any way, you only recieve 45 points. whoever has the most points after three rounds wins.
the environment my sport is played in is a heavily populated area. it has to be at a park, mall, amusment park, or anywhere else where there are alot of people around. this makes it more embarrasing for the person benching and it also protects the person benching because people are less likely to assault you if other people are around.
people would want to play my game because as humans we normally laugh at other peoples expense. if someone does something embarrasing, we naturally think it's funny. so why not set something up for someone to get embarrased? i for one think it's funny to make people feel uncomfortable and this game definately does just that. this game is also a very good conversation starter because everyone likes a good laugh so you can talk about it at parties, or while you're just hanging out with everyday friends.
My sport I have created is called Kick and Catch. The game is very simple. It was originally played by my mother with her group of young daycare students. Since then, she has left the daycare to become a lunch lady; the concept of her sport has stayed the same, but the rules are much different. The game is played in a big open field, with 3 teams of 4. The players of the 3 teams spread out randomly in the field. The kicker stands approximately 30 feet away. The referee starts the game, and is the first kicker. The goal of the players is to catch the ball. The player that catches the ball is then the kicker. Continue reading to learn the official rules and how to play the game.
ReplyDeleteThe only equipment needed is a kickball. The game has one official referee. The rules are:
1. The referee starts with the ball and is the first kicker.
2. One player must catch the ball.
3. The ball may not touch the ground.
4. Players are allowed to tackle, but if they injure another player they are put in the penalty box for the next 3 kicks.
How do you score? Its very simple. If a member of your team scores, the team gets a point. Then they are the kicker. If the kicker kicks the ball to their own team mate, the team gets 2 points. The first team to 21 points wins.
The sport is played in a big open field. It is best played in the fall or spring when the weather is nice, but may be enjoyable to some in the snow, or in the heat of the summer.
I think people would love to play this sport because it is different. It has 3 teams instead of the usual 2. It can also be played in almost any field; it does not need to be any specific place. Another good thing to consider is it is playable year round. It is an exciting and competitive game I think everyone would enjoy.
The game I have decided to create is called TwerkTime. Have you ever been walking threw the store, and have the sudden urge to just dance? I don't know about you, but I sure have!
ReplyDeleteThe objective of TwerkTime is to get that chance to dance, but there's a catch. You need to be within four feet of another person, preferably an innocent bystander,and they cannot know you are there. You have to dance as close to the other person as you can for as long as you can. The game consists of a minimum of three players, with no maximum. As soon as they notice you're there the round is over. Every time you dance is a round. You play five rounds, and the person with the most amount of points at the end of five rounds is the winner.
The only equipment needed to play is yourself, other opponents, a stopwatch, and an innocent bystander. Now, when I say innocent bystander I don't mean it has to be a stranger in a store, it could be a friend or family member who is unaware of what is going on.
Now the scoring system is extremely easy. All you do is keep track of the time you dance near the other person without them knowing. The amount of time you danced equals the amount of points you have. 1 second = 1 point. Simple enough? I think so.
You can play TwerkTime anywhere! In a store, at home, in a parking lot, in the middle of no where. Seriously, anywhere!
The reasons someone would want to play this game are simple. It's easy, fun, and it's would just be plain funny.
Dancing
ReplyDeleteMy sport is really fun. Anyone can play it from the toddler who can dance to the old lady with a cane. The basics of the sport are to go behind someone completely random and dance without them having any idea that you are behind them. When they notice you automatically loose the round.
Rule number one is a very important rule. Do not let them know what you are up to. If you can succeed in that then you are onto rule two. You cannot laugh; it gives away your position. Finally, rule three, whoever can dance the longest without breaking rule one gets the rounds win. The only equipment you will need are a friend yourself and some unsuspecting victims.
How to win this game is you dance the longest in the round. It goes up to 21 points and for every 5 seconds danced you get a point. So say if I had danced for 10 seconds I get two points. If I get caught, I get no points.
The best part of this game is the environment you play it in. This is simply because you can play this game anywhere. Such as at the park, or you can play in your employers office. Wherever you play it I just hope you don’t get kicked out or fired. This surely would not be something you can blame on me because I am explaining you should not get caught.
Everyone should play this sport. It is a proven fact that dancing can make you smarter. It also wards off Alzheimer’s, and other dementia. It also increases the cognitive acuity at all ages. This for all of the football players who have had many concussions and risk getting Alzheimer’s dancing might be for you. This is why you should play my sport. Most of all I would play this sport because it is just good fun.

In one of the greatest sports ever created by man, Poupflex; A Poupflex ball starts on a 6 foot PVC pipe. The nickel is tossed in the air, deciding who gets a go at throwing the bottle off of their drumstick at the Poupflex ball. The first to hit the Flexball off the PVC pipe can defer or take initial hit of the game. The ball is hit with the drum sticks towards the goal (duct tape goal.) anywhere on the court of play is one point (because close only counts in horseshoes and flockaball.) The goalie is given a wiffle ball bat and inside a certain square it is legal to smack a competitor with this bat anywhere on their body. If there is too physical of play by a player (not the goalie) then the player will go into time-out, giving the other team a powerplay. In the time-out zones there will be coloring books with no crayons. There is a minimum of one referee who wears footie pajamas, a toupee, and a cardboard sign around his neck; stating his favorite cereal. Everyone who touches the playing field must come up with a pseudonym, or alias depending on what you’re into.
ReplyDeleteItems required to play this wonderful sport:
-A Poupflex ball.
-2 Wiffle ball bats.
-Duct tape.
-6 Drum sticks.
-PVC pipe.
-Gatorade bottle.
-A nickel.
-4 people on each team.
-G.P.D.
-Coloring books.
Poupflex is played indoors with a ceiling of at least 8 feet, so that the PVC pipe and ball can be placed with a bit of room to spare.
People would want to play and do want to play this sport because It is an American past-time, and is slowly becoming one of the most popular sports to ever be thought of. Poupflex was created in the great depression.

ReplyDeleteHave you ever wanted to try to sell a random thing to a random person? Well SRTG (Selling Random Things Game) is exactly that. The point of the game is to try to sell a random thing to a stranger. Jami Roberts, Ben Nickloy, and I came up with this game last year. Last year the random thing we tried to sell to people was a water bottle and I am going to use the same video they used last year.
The rules for this game are very simple all you have to do is sell the water bottle. If the person says no you have to keeping asking them "are you sure" until they say yes or no.
Equipment Needed:
-A water bottle
-camera to record it
-2 people besides yourself
Okay the scoring system is easy. When you ask the stranger if they want to buy the water bottle and they say yes you get 2 points, if they so no you only get 1 point. If they slam the door in your face you get another point as well. First person to 30 points wins.
The environment that this game is played in is a random neighorhood picked by the players of the game.
The reason why people would want to play this game is because it is challenging game to play because 99% of the time the stranger will not want to buy the water bottle. So this game tests your selling skills a lot.

ReplyDeleteWARNING: This game I'm going to explain is not meant for the weak.
Have you ever met two young, sexy, tough men like Devin Thomas and myself? I think not.
This intense game I came up with is a little game I like to call Fluffy Hugs. The reason for the name of the game is to get weak minded creatures, like Szteiter or Bebeau, to enter the playing field and play this game. You know that when you tell them what is really going to happen in this game, they will for sure chicken out.
So now we get to the game. Fluffy Hugs is a smaller, more intense version of dodge ball. To play, you need a few things: 250 bouncy balls, 2 pairs of goggles*, two strong men (like Devin and I) and one other person for time keeping, a small room with no windows, and a timer. The object of the game is to go wild and whip bouncy balls at each other and cause so much pain, the other person leaves the room.
The scoring for fluffy hugs is very simple. There is potentially three rounds to the game. The first round, you go in normal for a 5 minute round, when someone leaves the room, the match is over. If nobody leaves the room, we move onto a second round. This round, articles of clothing are limited. Each player is only allowed a maximum of three articles of clothing to increase the pain. If a third round is needed, it shall be played in complete darkness. The crazy thing is, Devin Thomas and I are so manly, that it wouldn't surprise me if we went all three rounds. When we go all three rounds, the time keeper will decide the winner. They typically tend to go by who has the most welts on them is declared the loser.
A small, windowless room is where this intense sport should be played. Bouncy balls will be moving at extreme high speeds with cannons like these. The room should mainly be concrete to allow for maximum bouncing of balls. No furniture is permitted to be in the room. Matt Szteiter will find something to hide behind because he is terrified of these monstrous cannons.
Being the founder of Fluffy Hugs, i get many questions. My favorite question i hear is "Jake, how'd you get so damn buff?" I chuckle to myself and reply, "Recently, Rabbitt has put me on a high intensity, muscle straining, ping pong work out. He tells me that one day I will be the greatest player to ever walk this Earth." Another question I hear often times: "Why would anyone want to play this idiotic game?" My response, "Peer pressure. If you think you are just coming to watch, you're wrong my friend. I don't care if you're Matt Szteiter or The Great DOPO. I will throw you in that arena and lock the door" But honestly, that's not the only reasoning for playing this wonderful sport. I enjoy the game of dodge ball and I feel that increasing the pain a little bit makes it much more intense.
*Goggles are a must. I tend to "accidentally" hit Devin in the face with these small balls.
The Pick up line
ReplyDeleteThe sport I’m creating is going to be about picking up girls, with certain pick up lines. This is a game where there can be any amount of people playing. The object of the game is to see who can get the most dates/phone numbers whoever gets the most wins. There are judges to the game. The pick up lines have to be something stupid, funny, and or inappropriate.
Rules:
You can not interfere with the pick up. If someone in the game is talking to a girl using the pick up lines trying to get her number you can not go over and try and persuade the girl in anyway to not go out with him and just can not go up to them while the player is making his move. But you must always have a judge with you to make it clear that the pick up line was used.
You must use the pick up line everyone decided on. If not you will be disqualified from the rest of the day.
The first thing you have to say to her is the pick up line decided. No “heys”, “whats ups”, “hows it goin” etc.
Scoring;
Phone number is one point.
Date is two points
Hug is three points
Kiss is four points
If a player tries to pick up someone and fails, then you go up to that same girl and succeed in the pick up that’s double points. So it depends on what the player gets. Number, date, hug, or kiss. You double the point value. Also, if you fail in trying to do so you will have to cut your score in half.
The sport I've came up with is called Sockey. It's like a mix between hockey and soccer. Sockey could be played purely for fun or competitively. The objective is to score more points than the other player/team. Teams must have the same amount of players. There is a minimum of 2 people, although it's more fun with bigger teams. But Sockey must be played on hardwood floors, wearing only socks.
ReplyDeleteEquipment:
•Hardwood floor
•Socks
•2 teams
•Soft rubber ball
•2 goal posts
General soccer rules apply, such as no touching the ball with anything other than your feet. There is also no intentionally hurting another player.
There are four rounds in this game. The duration of the rounds is agreed upon by each team before the start of the game. To win, you must have the most points at the end of the fourth round. In the first two rounds, each ball scored into the goal is one point. In the third round, they're worth two points. In the last round, they're worth three points.
The location of this game is played in a building, on hardwood flooring. This makes it a little more challenging, since players only wear socks, because the floor would be somewhat slippery. This ideally would be played in larger, more roomy areas such as a gymnasium.
Sockey is a good sport to play just for some fun, like a simple 2 on 2 game. It could also be played competitively and strategically with larger teams and techniques. Sockey is a simple game and easy to learn how to play.
The game I have created is "Pizzathon". Pizzathon is like a form of the x-games and also consists of multiple rounds, like boxing, played by 2 or more players. This sport will be all based around the pizza business itself and the fastest way to go about making a pizza. Only the fastest and most skilled workers have a chance of winning and must be good all around the store in different stations.
ReplyDeleteThe rules are simple. You need complete your job in the fastest most correct manner possible. You need to go about the pizza making business the fastest require a high amount of skill.
The equipment needed:
- 2 or more people
- pizza materials
- a pizza business
There are 3 rounds to be played unless of course there is in some way. The first round is the dough round. this will consist of how many sheet outs of dough you can do in 2 min. getting a point for each one. The person with the most points will win that round. The next round is the topping round. Depending on the competition of the day the topping could be anything from pepperoni, to ham, to anchovies. The person to complete the pizza's in the fastest time will win that round. if the same person wins the first and second round then the other players are knocked out and the person is declared the winner. The third round will consist of cutting and boxing up 2 pizzas or so depending on the level of difficulty wanted in the game. Lastly if there is a three way tie there will be a special round created to prove the who deserves the title of Pizzathon Master.
The environment will be played inside of J-cups pizza, but can be played in any pizza store. Using all the elements the store has.
Someone would want to play this game to show off their real pizza making abilities. This game uses many different techniques in making a quality pizza and will also use your endurance and your speed as well. What more could you want from a game?
