Blitzball

Today Finny discovered a new game. He made it up. He got the idea from picking up a medicine ball and saying that that's how all games are, you just start with a ball. The game is called blitzball. The rules of the game are:

• Everyman for himself


• Run away from everyone


• tackling--> NO ARMS! you must keep your arms crossed on your chest, and you butt the ball carrier. No elbowing allowed either.


• If knocked down illegally the ball carrier still has possession of the ball.


• If knocked down legally the person who had the ball now looses possession of the ball.


• Throw it to someone. Do not hog the ball.


• Okay if ball touches the ground when being thrown.


• The receiver can refuse a pass if he happens to choose to. This is called the Lepellier Refusal.


• The person who has possession of the ball is refused three times in the course of running from the tower to the river, you go all the way back to the tower and start over.

The first day Finny came up with this game i naturally had the ball all the time and i was getting out of breath. Blitzball though, was the surprise of summer. EVERYONE played it.
