So let's start an NPF Trampoline Dodgeball Team?

Apparently there was the first official tournament over the weekend for the Ultimate Trampoline Dodgeball 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:

Quote:

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.

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...

Also, I dunno how they'd avoid fucking up each others' jumps while moving around. One would think the nature of dodgeball would necessitate some close encounters.

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.

And we've long since Lost our best player, Fighter.

Well, we had a true champion at the sport once. But then he got banned.
