Yup, indeed i do! P-Ball is a new format. It only costs £1 to enter a tourney and all proceeds go to charity. It can be played in teams or as a 1 on 1 event. There is no velocity limit and full auto or burst modes are permitted. Because of the nature of the ball used it is not necessary to wear goggles as injury in a game of P-Ball is extremely rare. It is played in a small arena and games are usually fast and furious. When Game-Over is called, the time taken to complete the objective is recorded by the Ultimate. The shortest time wins the event. Other than that, usual rules apply. ie players cannot move more than 6 feet away from their equipment apart from squeegies and rags used to clean their equipment... blah blah u know the rest....
Like the X-Ball format, P-Ball is very much a spectator sport. encouragement or heckling may be shouted from the sidelines, although it is recommended that spectators stand well back from the arena due to the staining effect of the players 'ammo' (god, i sound like a rec-baller). Guppy.
