The name of the game is Thunderball! (exclamation mark included). It’s time to give Thunderball! some rules, regulations, laws and punishment.
You can add one rule per post. The inaugural matchup will take place New Years Day 2015, high noon, in Deadwood, SD, on the condition that there are at least 3,200 rules, regulations, laws and/or punishments. If we don’t reach the minimum, the match will be moved to Yankton.
The field shall be rectangular, 500 feet x 300 feet, divided into equally-sized quadrants.
Any player in possession of the ball who is capable of successfully singing the first verse of “Yankee Doodle Dandy” before being intercepted, shall score five points for his or her team.
Use of bourboun produced outside Kentucky (but otherwise meeting the standards established in 27 CFR 5.22) is permitted during a state of national emergency, provided the offending team take a 5-yard penalty and dance the Charleston for no less than 47 seconds during halftime (except for games occurring within the boundaries of Lexington county).
The offense will field 40 players: four in each quadrant, 23 rovers and one coxswain sitting on a brick tower 30 yards from the field yelling play-by-play to the coach, who is blindfolded while his team has the log.
Taunting any opposing player is prohibited; offenders will be made to wear a petticoat of shame for the remainder of the half in progress when the taunt was detected. But unlimited taunts in the Navajo language are allowed without penalty.
