Tchoukball tournament interest thread

by **Nova Pruthenia** » Sat Jul 26, 2014 3:24 pm

Hi!
Recently I came across this sport:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tchoukball
I started to look for some materials about the rules and according to my opinion, this one is okay, as it explains the basics and is a short one:

And if you would like to see how the game looks like:

Idk maybe it's worth trying... I could host the first tournament - I would make a xkoranate file and the tournament would start after the Olympic Games.

I've checked the Tchoukball Federation site - weak male teams score about 30-35 per game, the best like Taiwan 70, but most teams score about 40-45 ppg. It wouldn't be complicated at all, I'd just modify the handball file.
A team gains 1 point if it loses, 2 for a draw and 3 for a win. That's simple too.

Interested in this, I've played it before and it's really fun.

Hah, so we could at least play some friendly

Interested, and actually interested in doing it IRL now.

I like this game. They should make it an international sport in The UK.

Interested. Are we goin' to see examples? Of Xkoranate

by **Nova Pruthenia** » Sun Jul 27, 2014 1:03 pm

I think I'll try to make the .xml xkoranate file tomorrow.

I am interested in a tchoukball tournament.

It is probably the most underrated sport, IMO.

I am interested in such a tournament as well. Tchoukball seems like a nice sport, even though I find it weird that you can't steal the ball from the opposing team.

An .xml file. I tested it and it seems ok.

Interested

I have heard of this, but never quite understood it. Now I kind of do, so I'm interested!

There are European Championships right now, it's even possible to follow the scores:

Yes, I checked it and what you waiting for?

by **Nova Pruthenia** » Thu Jul 31, 2014 10:59 am

There is WC now and the Olympic Games come soon - so tchoukball tournament wouldn't get too much attention right now I suppose. I think it would be better to wait until these events end.

by **Britonisea** » Thu Jul 31, 2014 3:10 pm

It is the last few hours of July... (best month) as August approaches (In the UK anyway), and we have to wait until September. You coule put sign ups before... Olympics starts on 20th (About)...

Why am I... a lot...?
