WTF is with this thread? Seriously, is the forum under attack?

Aliens, it's got to be. Obviously likes a good debate with himself this lad Feger.

Holy ****, I've never looked in this thread before. Is it some kind of bizarre performance art or something?

In fact, I hear Street Fighter 5 will have Rocball bonus rounds. Seriously, ask Leo Tan, or go further up the ladder.

Rocball News Release

Saturday night at the Drug & Violent Free Safe Haven Program at the MHS gym, the Rocball Gorilla Games began their 2010 season. The first two teams to challenge each other in the winner take all game were the Never Back Down (DBD) and the Soul Rebels.

In the Rocball Gorilla Games teams play for a $50 cash prize. On Saturday night the NBD defeated the Soul Brothers in double overtime after losing the fourth set of regular play. NBD won the first three sets of the game 27 to 26, 25 to 20, and 26 to 15.

With a lead of 17 points going into the fourth set, NBD only had to win the set to win the game. But, the Soul Brothers jumped out to 12 to 3 lead with the help of Ben Lisua’s 4th and 5th goal of the game and went on to win set four 25 to 10.

At the end of four sets of play NBD had the game points to win the game but lost their chance to “juice-out” by losing the fourth set. In Rocball’s quarter/set system, the NBD couldn’t win a game in a losing set, regardless if they outscored the Soul Brothers in games points after four sets of play.

By winning the fourth set, the Soul Brothers forced the game into overtime. The NBD had the advantsge because they scored the most game points in four sets; NBD only needed to win one overtime set to win the game. The Soul Brothers who won the fourth set but scored less game points needed to win two overtime sets to win the game: Overtime sets are ten points or a goal, whichever comes first.

The Sould Brothers won the first OT 11 to 6 and brouht the game to a sudden death second OT set. All the points scored up to the 2nd OT set were worthless. Whichever team won 2nd OT won the game. And, NBD came out of their slump to hold off the Soul Rebels and the win the game 11 to 9.

Ben Lisua of the Soul Rebels was the “heavy hitter” of the game with 5 goals, and 5 kees for 25 points. Ben’s five goals in one game isn’t something that happens very often. Ben scored goals off the serve, from the “Kee” position as his team’s goalies scoring from the back court, and from within the ten foot line next to the net .

And, Ben is a threat playing defense. Ben is last year’s best player for scoring “jams”. A “jam” is when a player spikes down a served ball at the net. Ben jammed a serve playing in the exhibition game with the American Volleyball Pros in March.

High school Rocball starts today; community league underway

Friday, January 21, 2011 12:00AM By Christian V. Cruz - For Variety

TODAY marks day one of the high school Rocball league?s regular season, as six teams vie for the top spot.

The Kingz are this semester?s defending champions, taking on teams Krownerz, Fly High, Underdog, Chiefs, and Watch Ur Face.

The Kingz trumped Yo Face in last month?s best-of-five finals series. They will play Watch Ur Face today, 12:45 p.m. at Marianas High School?s gymnasium. Games will take place every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday during MHS? lunch time.

Other scheduled matches include Krownerz vs. Chiefs (Monday, Jan. 24) and Fly High vs. Underdog (Wednesday Jan. 26).

To prepare for their match, high school Rocball participants held practice sessions with community league players last Wednesday. During their ?clinic? as Rocball coordinator Jim Feger calls it, community league players assist their younger counterparts with the sport?s rules and basics.

?As for the community league, right now we?re still trying to find out which teams will join,? added Feger.

After gaining interest in the sport, India adopted Rocball last November. The Rocball Federation of India, established by Chetan Sports? Chetan Pagawad, is currently forming teams across the country.

'Mon the Kingz!

[Feger]

Rocball

TWO undefeated Rocball teams met on court last Wednesday. The
Kingz ? 2010 defending champions ? and team Fly High, a combination of last year?s players.

As what could be expected, the game between the undefeated was decided in overtime.

The Fly Highs came loaded with energy as they outscored the defending
champs, 16-4 and 16-3 in the first two sets. They held their
commanding lead in the final set with 32 points.

The Kingz ? all veteran Rocball players ? know the rules of the game.
A team can?t claim the game in a losing set regardless of game points.
The Kingz needed to win the last set and force the game to overtime.

By the third set, Fly High led 7-5 after the Kingz failed two serves
and lost two points. Kingz? Ben Olopai served a xunk and dropped the
Fly Highs to even out the score, 5-5. Olopai served for a two-point
ace, putting his team ahead for the first time.

The Fly Highs couldn?t break their foes? rhythm and lost. Because they
had the most game points at the end of regular play, they had to win
only one more overtime set. The Kingz needed two.

In almost no time, Fly High defeated the Kingz and handed them their
first loss of the season with a 7-5 win. (Teams must score seven
points or make a goal in the overtime set of high school Rocball.)

Yesterday, the Kingz and Fly Highs played an exhibition game for
visiting Seisa High School students from Yokohama, Japan. This year
marks the 25th year for the Cultural and Sports Exchange Program
between Seisa and Marianas High School. This also marked the 25th year
MHS students have played Rocball as a part of the program.

Fly High leads Rocball Final Four cast

By Roselyn Monroyo
Reporter Saipan Tribune

Fly High and three others made it to the semifinals of the 2011 Rocball High School Spring League after last week's games at the Marianas High School Gymnasium.

Fly High clinched the first semis ticket after a 48-34 victory over Watch Ur Face last Friday. The win was fifth in as many games for Fly High, while Watch Ur Face bowed out of the competition with a dismal 1-4 record in the round-robin regular season

Ryan Ichihara led Fly High's sweep with his 11 points off two kees, one xunk, one ace, and one goal.

Joining Fly High in the semifinals were Kingz, Krowners, and the Chiefs.

The Kingz also played last Friday and juiced out Krowners in three sets, 33-26. The victory put the Kingz in second place in the team standings with its 4-1 slate.

Despite the loss, Krowners still advanced to the next round, as their 3-2 record was enough for a share of third place with the Chiefs. Jason Limes led Kingz' winning cause with his nine points off two aces, one kee, and one goal.

The Chiefs saved their season after surviving the Underdogs, 32-31. The Chiefs lost the first two sets, 15-14, 15-8, to fall behind, 22-30. In the third set, the Chiefs must win by nine point to steal the game and they succeeded, 10-1, to foil the Underdogs' upset bid.

In Rocball, a win can only be awarded to the team that prevails in the last set and has the lead. If the leading team loses the last set, the game goes in overtime with the trailing squad needing to win two sets and the former prevailing in only one set.

With the win, the Chiefs were given the No. 3 seeding in the semifinals and are scheduled to play the second-ranked Kingz in Game 1 of their best-of-three series today. The other semis pairing are No. 1 seed Fly High and fourth-ranked Krowners, who played Game 1 of their own semis series yesterday. Winners of the semifinals series will advance to the best-of-five title affair.

I'd forgotten about this thread!

[Darwock]

I have only just seen it and I'm wondering what the hell is going on.. a full five years of this?

[endo]

8) They say a picture is worth a thousand words. But, in an outlawed sport with renegade players, a game is worth a thousand pictures!

Marvellous. I love the way this volleyball/football hybrid is presented as some kind of 'renegade' sport as if it were some form of Hard Target-esque hunting or something.

By far the most gleefully mental thread on the entire forum. Feger, I salute you. And Rocball.
