    Right folks, have a go.

    Bashball -

    A physical ball game where players with padded equipment can bash into a player. The basics;

    • Small arena, 65m x 40m. One goal either end of the field, 2m high x 8m long.
    • 7 teams per team. Every team member wears padded shirts and wear helmets. Every team member has a standard heavily padded shield.
    • The match lasts 60 minutes, 4 quarters of 15 minutes, 5 minutes between the quarters, 15 minutes between the half.
    • Teams aim to get kick a slightly oval ball (for unpredictability reasons) into the opposition goal.
    • Teams must keep 3 players in the opposition half at all times. These forward players cannot touch the ball in their own half.
    • An exclusion are of 4m exists away from the goal to avoid hogging the goal line, and can only be entered when the ball enters first.
    • Opponents can use the shield, which is held two handed at the chest, to bash, charge or push the opponents over from the front or from the side. A backshot is not allowed.
    • Shouldering is also allowed. Must be shoulder to shoulder or shoulder to shield.
    • Head contact strictly prohibited.
    • No handling allowed as players have to use two hands to hold the padded shield.
    • Team with the most scores wins.

    Right folks. Have a go at your own.

    You lost me after "7 teams per team." 🤔

    Don't expect anything from life, just be grateful to be alive.

    I've always* wondered if multi team football could be done, where you can score in multiple goals but also have to defend multiple collaboratively. Maybe four teams, four goals - one each side of a square pitch.

    *like twice, ever, and then got a headache when trying to figure out how you'd score it

    Remember the sport slam-ball that came about in the early 00's and was popular for a while, it was a basketball court with had trampolines on it to encourage players to do spectacular moves while trying to dunk the ball, you were allowed to tackle like american football and hit guys in the air so they players were all fully padded.

    Contact snooker.

    Snooker is the only ball sport in the world where you have zero control.

    Once you're opponent is at the table there is no way you can stop them, they can only be stopped by their own mistake.

    So why not allow tackling.

    Each frame the seated player is allowed one opportunity to jump up and take the player at the table clean out of it.

    The player at the table then gets one more shot to recover, if they don't the other player has the table.

    I think that's already played in some clubs and bars already , there's a variant that allows you throw snooker balls at each other.

    Two cups. You choose distance. Further means more points.
