Bracketball is probably a sport that is definitely played with a nonzero amount of balls. The game mixes curling with rugby and figure skating on a triangular grass field with a singular goal at the top of the field. Each team starts at their respective corner of the field, but who knows where they'll end up!

There are three goal sections at the top of the field. Players roll balls from their respective corners toward the goal. Balls rolled with certain flair are worth more points than a standard roll. More points are scored the closer the ball is rolled toward the top section of the goal. Fewer points are scored in the middle section, and no points are awarded in the outer section of the goal - but who knows what might happen if the ball lands there?

Players may move closer to the goal, but points cannot be scored from the team closest to the goal. When a ball is rolled into the goal by a scoring team, the opponents may block the shot by knocking the point ball out of goal range by rolling their own ball. If the point ball is successfully knocked out of the range of the goal, the scoring team does not get the points.

We all know that fan participation is what keeps Bracketball going! What would Bracketball be without the fans filling out brackets each season? Head on over to the official Bracketball Tumblr and fill out your bracket today!
