Jurestist Home Grown Sport
Posted: Fri Nov 06, 2015 7:58 pmThe national sport for The Community of Jurestist is called Trickle read below for more information, how to play, and the rules of the game....I want to know what people think and if they would play it. If this doesn't belong here feel free to move it, but I felt that because it's a "sport" so I think "NS Sports Forum" would be perfect.
Trickle is the national sport for the Community of Jurestist it started in the 1923 on the streets of the poorest Sectors of the country where each Sector has it's own team and they have tournaments when it first started they didn't have a championship it was mainly for bragging rights, but when a lost businessman stumbled across it and pitched the idea to his partners who then gave him the go ahead to incorporate the sport which he then set out to find the sport's creator Buckley Stevens who when found wanted to have complete control over the Sport if it was to go national to he agreed.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------How the Sport is played
Trickle is played on a circle shaped field by two teams of nine players each and there is a goal post in the middle of the field with hoop that goes all the way around the pole and a team scores by getting the ball into the hoop at which point the referee give the ball to the other team and they try to do the same thing the other team can "steal" the ball, but it must be "cleared" on one of the four sideboards place around the field. The ball cannot touch the ground which results in the ball being "killed" that then leads to a "jump-off" to see who gets the ball a "jump-off" also happens at the start of the game and each half. The game is four "spots" with each spot being 4 minutes long.
