Apparently there was the first official tournament over the weekend for the Ultimate Trampoline Dodgeball (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/11/10/ultimate-trampoline-dodgeball-los-angeles_n_2096920.html) league. The purse of $100,000 was fought over by twenty one teams with first prize getting $25,000 and the rest divied up to all the losers.

The rules are pretty simple:
The rules to trampoline dodgeball are similar to traditional dodgeball, with some slight differences, besides the fact that trampolines allow the players to jump over balls and throw the balls at opponents from up to 10 feet in the air.

-Two teams of five players each face off against each other at a time.

-Each game is four minutes in length or until one team has all its players knocked out.

-If both teams have players at the end of a game, the match goes into sudden death until the first player is knocked out.

-The team that wins two out of three games goes to the next round.

So, let's get started for next year?

It's very hard to throw something on a trampoline, while in the air. Newtonian physics.

Slamball (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slamball) was basketball with trampolines.

Yes, that too. But not what I was thinking.

It, it had something to do with a gym, and a Pirate.

I think it was a movie...

Ehh. Call me when we restart the NPF Drownball League. Considering the state of member participation over the last year or so, Shyria, I just don't think we can spare the manpower for it.

I say we start a Trampoline Paintball or Nerf Gun League instead.

You can throw the ball easy if you do a fullbody flip with your jump to generate the momentum and spin. So we'd all need to be flippin ninjas to really have a good edge on the competition.
