Whirlyball today
Today, our extended team had lunch and played whirlyball. It was great fun and I highly recommend it, especially if you have a competitive spirit (not that anyone here has that...not me, especially).
Action shots here, here, here and here.

I don't suppose you could explain the rules for a confused Brit, could you... It does look an interesting sport!

Looks fun...reminds me of 'trak ball' I used to play on the beach as a kid, but without the cars...
Where is this? Eastside? Downtown? - Anonymous

Mark-no problem...there are 2 teams (red and yellow) of 4 or 5 players each. Each player mans a bumper car (if you aren't familiar, small motorized cart with bumpers all around so you can ram someone elses cart and kind of bump offof it). Each player has a plastic basket thingy in their hand (kind of lacross like) and there's a whiffle (light plastic) ball. Each team tries to get the ball into their net (you can see in the pics there's a red square with a cricle in it...that's where the net is). There's a shot clock of 30 seconds for each team. Half the fun is trying to maneuver the cars and bumping into each other). - Anonymous

Brad-this was in Lynnwood. Their site is whirlyball.net I believe...there are probably other locations. - Anonymous

company sponsored. I don't think it was very expensive at all.
