DurkeeBall

Ok, I just thought I should add in a discussion thread for the amazing sport that is DURKEEBALL!!!

Ok, it goes a little like this:
1st. you need one of those mini-basketballs.
2nd. you need a plastic grocery bag. (actually, more like 15 or 20 of them.)
3rd, it's much better if played in an enclosed area (i.e. a garage, gym, or some place with walls and a roof.)

Each person (or team) has his/her side of the room, dileniated by a line. There's also two upward-facing goals that rest on the ground (a wide planter or a couple of sticks works, something reasonably large, but not too big.
In order to score, a player has to bounce the ball into the other person's goal. The first person to whatever the final point number is set at wins!

have you actually played this game before? and did it work?

[D341Jerman]

Oh yeah, we used to play it all the time about four years ago. I've even got an old VHSC tape of a game around here somewhere *rummages*

...needless to say, It's a fun time.

If I ever come down to California we'll have to play it

[D341Jerman]

Agreed. The only thing keeping me from playing it these days is the fact that it's so hard to find a room to accomodate it. I mean, it's very specific, because part of the game is bouncing it into the goal. (Garages work exceedingly well.)
