  • Unusual Athletic Games

  • Ultimate Tak Ball :

    • Ultimate Tak Ball
      "The sport, invented under the original name of Ultimate Tazer Ball by Leif Kellenberger, Eric Prum and Erik Wunsch,[1] was first played in 
      California.[2] 
      Two teams compete to get a large (24-inch diameter) ball into goal at either end of the 200 x 85-foot field.[3]
      Players on both teams are all armed with stun gun devices. Under the rules of the game players are allowed to use the stun guns on opposing players who are in possession of the ball.[4] The devices used emit a charge of three to five milliamps, sufficient to cause a localized muscle spasm but no permanent damage to any of the body's vital organs.[5]"
      (Wikipedia)

    • Ultimate Tak Ball
      "UTB’s rules are similar to ice hockey – except that players are armed with stun guns that emit three to five milliamperes of electricity, with participants getting shocked dozens of times per match."

      The game is based on formation roller skating around an oval track by two teams.
      Points are scored when the designated scoring player (the "jammer") of a given team laps members of the opposing team;   hence offense and defense typically occur simultaneously."
      It "is an international sport with over 1000 women's leagues in 36 countries, as well as a growing number of male, co-ed, and junior exposition teams."
      (Wikipedia)
