Has anyone else seen this new sport coming from North America, which is basically a hybrid of Hockey, Trampolining, Basketball and American Football??
Picture a basketball court with the plexiglass all around it and around the baskets there's 4 trampolines. Now there's 4 quarters of 6 minutes in length and both teams have 5 players. It's the same as basketball where you have to get the ball in the basket but the main difference is the 4 trampolines around the basket resulting in some huge 15+ foot dunks. On the defensive end there's someone called a stopper who's usually under the basket who jumps up and tries to stop the guy from scoring using any reasonable means, so there's usually some pretty good collisions up in the air.
On the normal parts of the court it's usual basketball rules, you have to dribble the ball, can't travel and can't dribble, stop and then dribble again. However another big difference from basketball is you're allowed to make contact with the opposition so there's usually some big hits that you see in American Football, especially when the guy is going to jump on the trampoline only for the defender to smash into him in mid air.
Just watched my first game of it over here in Canada and it's a great game, takes the boring bits of all the sports out and keeps the exciting stuff and puts it all into one sport. If you get the chance to watch it either on the tv or on the net you should see it.
