Sounds kinda like basketball; except no dribbling, no bouncing, no running with the ball, etc.Niemand wrote: ↑November 26th, 2022, 10:26 amI dunno, have you seen netball? I used to watch it at school, and it wasn't for the gameplay.Robin Hood wrote: ↑November 26th, 2022, 7:41 amI watched a basketball game on the TV at the gym a while back.
This is how it went:
Team A had the ball, went up the court and scored a basket.
Then:
Team B had the ball, went up the court and scored a basket.
Rinse and repeat.
Talk about boring!
What a pointless exercise (though there were lots of points of course... too many). Basketball has got to be one of the most ridiculous games ever devised.

Don't know which came first. But netball is a girls game, so very similar to basketball in that respect.
