Run Ball - a new sport
Run Ball is a new sport created by Bryce Herold of the USA in 2023. The aim of this sport is to get the ball to one of the opposing teams scoring squares or circles.
Summary
Players on teams of 5 start on the center line with the home team getting the ball first they run the ball to the opposing teams scoring square (1 point) or throw it to one of their scoring circles (5 points). There are 2 halves, each half being 2 minutes. During half time players get a break. The team to have the most points by the end of the game wins. If the teams tie then it will be marked as a tie.
Details
