Garadgeball
Origin

Garadgeball, like most games, originated out of boredom. Garadgeball originated in Joey Keller's garage after he went to bed. The 6 founding fathers of Garadgeball are Kevin Barry, Devin D'Antoni, David Fischer, Joe Lavoy, Steve Smieja, and Mike Wendt.

Set Up and Rules

The best place to play Garadgeball is in a garage, but other closed in spaces also work. Teams are roughly 10 yards apart with one ping pong ball needed for a match. Teams should have their backs against a wall facing each other with one cup of water placed behind the center player on each team. A larger bowl of water is placed in the center of playing field. Jaradgeball consists of two teams equal in number with no more then 4 players on each side. Each Garadgeball match consists of three 7 game sets. The first team to win four games wins the set, and the team that wins two sets wins the match.

Playing the game

Teams can decide who gets to throw first in a number of ways, but the most common is to see which team can shoot the ping pong ball into the bowl of water in the center. After the first game, the winning team always has first throw. The first team to throw takes the ping pong ball and throws it at the other team. If one or more players are hit on the fly with the ball, they are out. If the opposing team catches the ball, the thrower is out.

Winning the game

A Garadgeball game is won if one team eliminates the other team by either hitting them with the ball, or catching it when it is thrown. The game can also be won if the opposing team Sploots. A Sploot is defined as any action that results in a team knocking over the cup of water placed behind them on their side. A SET can be won if, at any time, the ping pong ball lands in a water cup placed behind a team. This action is known as a Garadge.

Positions

In a three-a-side game, the center player is known as the Spurgelhopper. The players on each side of the Spurgelhopper are known as the Left Ginken and Right Ginken.

First Match

The first Garadgeball match in history was won by Kevin Barry, David Fischer, and Mike Wendt. Wendt recorded the first ever Garadge in the history of the game.
