So, here’s this game. They call it Mitt Rowdy. It’s my kind of game. Silly. Intimate. Competitive, in a loving way. No score, really. I mean, somebody wins, but that’s not the point, actually. Not a game to be taken seriously – not when you’re wearing oven mits and trying to pick up a coin [...]
The requirements for playing Johnball are: Bats “As long as you use any foam or plastic bat, you’ll be fine. (Obviously, you’ll want to steer clear of all metallic and wooden bats.) These can be picked up at a variety of stores, but it’s highly suggested that you first check out whatever thrift stores you [...]
My son Jackson and I invented the sport, hence the name. There is a picture of him working out rules with his toys and the boundaries drawn in chalk, a picture of an example referee uniform he made, and also a picture of him busking to raise money for supplies, such as referee whistles, orange [...]
The game is like dodgeball, but using stuffed animal toys instead of balls. If you are hit by a stuffie, you can no longer throw, and instead have to begin to act like the animal that hit you. You are required to put effort into playing your animal. Each team has a Psychologist, who is [...]
“Another design was a random array of dots. We approached these as spots to be claimed, and thought of ways of gradually spreading across the field, with the possibility of the spots changing hands. “We landed upon using cones that could be tossed to land upon a dot to claim it. The cone would be [...]
Two trees in a field led to the evolution of yet another excellent example of creative Junkyard Sportliness from The League “Germaine had been thinking about a game (1) in which the playing field would change shape, and (2) that would make use of the two huge maple trees that stand outside the field house. [...]
There’s a game called Conkers. This post is not actually about that game. It’s about some variations, involving string and food and pairs of light-hearted competitors, that is Conkers-like, but not, in truth, Conkers itself. Your traditional Conkers Game was played in England since the late 1800′s at least. To play it, you need nuts from [...]
This is a teaser for a new film. I learned about it on Gizmodo. Play on.
Woodball is played with a mallet whose head looks remarkably like a wooden beer bottle. And whose wickets look like a wooden beer glass suspended between two more wooden bottles. The Chandizark Tribune explains that “The equipment for woodball comprises a wooden ball, a bottle-shaped wooden mallet, and a gate which resembles two beer bottles [...]
Our enthusiastic reporting on the sports invention initiative of The League continues today, introducing you and your known universe to the game of Gölstrom. I quote: A line of diverse equipment is laid out some distance from a goal. Gölstrom is a game for a flexible number of people. In each round, the players shoot the equipment [...]
