In the summer of 2014 I created a fictional sport, called bounceball. I've yet to actually play it, and so far it exists only in my mind and in the form of a fictional professional league, the National Bounceball Federation. I originally posted them on sportslogos.net message boards, and I've decided to compile the concepts and graphics for the 8 teams here one last time.
The idea is fairly simple. It's a fast-paced, paddle-based team sport. 6 players per team, each have a paddle, each play offense and defense. There are no goalkeepers. Goals are worth 1, 2, and 3 points depending on where the shot is taken from. The paddles are a hybrid of ping pong paddles and tennis racquets.
The game is played on a hockey rink-sized court with indoor soccer-like goals. The court is "sunk" into the ground beneath the crowd about 10 feet. This is probably not plausible with most indoor arenas currently, but hey, it's my fantasy. This means there is a 10' wall surrounding the entire court, with see-through netting above that (like a hockey rink). This is meant to encourage passes/shots off the walls.
There is no clock. The first team to score 25 points wins. This is to prevent stalling and force the leading team to always be on the attack. Bounceball would be a continuous sport, with fewer stoppages than basketball or hockey.
The court would be a sort of rubber material, like some indoor volleyball courts. It would look something like this:
Each team has a home and a clash uniform, with the homes to be worn the majority of the time, and the clashes to be worn when playing a team of a similar color. Bounceball uniforms are a combination of soccer-style shirts with hockey-sized chest logos, paired with basketball-inspired shorts and long socks. Every team also has custom paddle designs for the home and clash uniforms, and a unique home court design.
