If RandBall was a sport, what would the rules be?

That’s something we’ve been asked, strangely, a few times now. Maybe we should have seen it coming. Whenever you combine something with the glorious word “ball,” people are bound to wonder: Is this some great new game I could play with my friends in the back yard? Is it something at which I could immediately be better than 99 percent of the population? Well, that’s a tricky question. In a (somewhat) joking introduction to this blog in the Newspaper of the Twin Cities, we wrote that there were only two rules for RandBall: 1) Unlimited players on each side. 2) Everyone gets a mallet. But we’re willing to listen: Suggest a rule for RandBall, the sport. Let’s make the most ridiculous game ever invented. And then sometime, on a warm day in May, we will all get together and play it.
