<O:p My granddaughter came over and we where talking. She mentioned that she played a game where people throw playground balls at each other. She called is something ( whimp name) but in my day it is BATTLE BALL&#8230;.. mofo :D

Oh! She was tell me the rules &#8230;WTF to many rules </SPAN>

Battle</SPAN> Ball Rules:</SPAN>

Ball hit ball and ball is in your hands &#8230; not out</SPAN>
Ball hit ball and knock ball out of hands &#8230; you&#8217;re out</SPAN>
Get hit with ball in flight (bounce does not count)&#8230; you&#8217;re out</SPAN>
Catch the ball someone throws at you &#8230; they are out</SPAN>
Don&#8217;t cross the center line or you&#8217;ll be out</SPAN>
When you&#8217;ll out you sit on the side lines &#8230; sit mofo </SPAN>
Game end when last person on other team is hit &#8230; game over Clear Winner and Loser</SPAN>

Anyone know of Adult Battle Ball League?</SPAN>

Yeah back in my day we called it Dodgeball. They took it out of schools I thought.

And there are some leagues I watch them all the time on ESPN8 "The Ocho."

We called it battleball in elementary school too....

We even had a 'medic' in gym class, but I don't remember how that worked...something to do with a little 2' x 2' piece of wood on wheels...I don't remember the details, some way to get someone back into the game that was eliminated...

Haha we played that in elementary school but just call it doctor dodgeball. There would be mats set up and the "medic" could hide behind them and then when someone got out if they got to them before getting hit the person was still in. We also had some little thing that had wheels on the bottom of it.

We called that dodgeball.

Did anyone ever play Swedish Dodgeball, or at least thats what we called it. There were no teams and it was every person for themselves. When you got the ball you were only allowed to take three steps before you threw it. When someone went out (normal dodgeball rules) every person they knocked out came back in.

That sounds like it would take forever.

As stated, its called dodgeball!

Funny how they change names of the games. Nephews and the neighbor kids were talking about how they were going to play 'ding dong ditch'. I couldnt figure out for the life of me what they were doing. Took me till the next time they did it to know it was actually called something else when we did it!



Then they played smear the *****...and was happy to see that some games names remained the same!

Can I ask what you called it? I've always known it as "ding dong ditch" that is if you're referring to ringing someones door bell then running away/hiding.

He probably heard it called "African-American" Knocking...but the worst slang term for a black person.
