If you have a plastic scoop and an electric car, you’re halfway there. Sassbottom informs us of the fascinating game of WhirlyBall. We appreciate their use of the capital “B.” It looks like it has eight basic rules, all of which we can live with:

1) Fasten your safety belt.
2 ) Stay in you WhirlyBug at all times unless directed by referee to leave your WhirlyBug.
3 ) Do not use your hands to retrieve the ball except when the ball falls inside your WhirlyBug.
4 ) Always keep hands above the bumper.
5 ) Eye protection is available upon request at no charge.
6 ) Your scoop is used to pick up, pass and shoot the ball. Please do not use your scoop to slap another players’ scoop, body or WhirlyBug.
7 ) Never, ever let your scoop get crushed. 8 point penalty.
8 ) As in all sporting activities, there is the element of physical risk. WhirlyBall is no exception. You play at your own risk.

So, um, when do we start the RandBall WhirlyBall league?
