Deadball3

Deadball is a game, created by two workers (Paul Staunton & Alex Dix). The basic rule of the game is to get the traditionally small “pool” ball into the hole (tape roll). The game was created in 2023 in late February. One day whilst working under the fascist regime that cannot be mentioned. Paul and Alex sat either end of what would become a court. This court would later be called the Paul O Grady stadium, due to the comedians death soon after the creation of the game. The now stadium (Paul O Grady stadium) is made up of two stands, one for each end. Alex D named his end the “Bell End” which Paul followed in calling his end the “Elton John stand”. The game started as a way of passing time in a depressing setting but would soon change the slaves attitudes to their work. The growing excitement of the game made the poorly paid workers keen to arrive to work each morning. The game would become far more important than the work itself and took over the workers. There had not been so much productivity in decades at this fascist company.

History

The rules of Deadball evolved fast. In the beginning it was simply an achievement to even hit the “puck” which was a roll of tape. Paul Staunton was the first to get a “goal” in the sport. Many people believed it couldn’t be done. On seeing it was possible, Paul and Alex decided that to win would be to score first.

From here the game started to receive excitement. Knowing it was possible challenge soon followed. The game evolved further, this was by the “puck” being modified into a bowl shape. This shape invited the ball barely making it an easier target. The game then evolved further by Alex. The court was laid out in a gold and black taping by Alex. This set boundaries and fairness to the sport.roughly 4 tiles long to the puck for each player and the puck would sit loosely in the middle. Loosely being key, this is because it makes sinking the heavy pool ball even harder.

Now the game had begun to reach its new prime with new records being met by new players. Records such as: first back to back, first shot of the game and the NBC (no bounce club) see records for further information. But most importantly this lead to a scoring system.

Initially the scoring system was a basic tally on a clipboard. This was closely followed by players being rewarded for winning games with plastic mould soldiers. This was a particularly pinnacle time for the game as what would follow no one would have predicted.

After realising the game was far too popular for inconsistency Paul and Alex decided to create a cup competition to test the limits of the game.

The cup consisted of 8 players. The tournament was played over 3 days. Many favourites were involved in the tournament however the winner of the first ever deadball cup was none other than one of the creators. Paul Staunton. Paul received the trophy after defeating Jez in a thrilling final. The trophy Paul received was moulded by Alex, made from a 40 year old fire extinguisher. A majestic and beautiful trophy that was held in high standing. From this point Paul and Alex decided to create a league and several other competitions. Alex leading with most of the admin side and Paul assisting.

The game to this day is growing in popularity and much more is yet to be written on this exciting game.
