Yellowball
Yellowball is a game played by party goers in swimming pools and in 2012 was introduced to the nation during a party in Palmdale, Ca. Using a simple yellow ball procured from a claw vending machine, yellowball quickly became a craze. With Yellowball leagues forming all across the country it supplanted tiddlywinks as a recreational pastime.

Origin of Yellowball
Palmdale, California became the home of Yellowball in July of 2012 and remains its headquarters there to this day. The original yellowball is enshrined in the Yellowball Hall of Fame attracting thousands of people every year to pay homage to the ball that started the craze. During a rather boring pool party during the 4th of July weekend, someone tossed a spiky yellow ball into the pool and chaos ensued. Yellowball was born.

Rules of Yellowball
The rules of Yellowball are simple. There is no scoring or time limit. The game begins when the yellow ball is first thrown and ends when people are bored of it. There are no winners or losers in Yellowball, making it a perfect game for "Everyone Gets A Trophy" days at school. Yellowball rules are quite easy to learn and master. If the Yellowball is thrown, hit or deflected out of the pool, the last person to touch it will be roundly 'booed', must retrieve yellowball and has to cannonball back into the pool proclaiming, "I stink at Yellowball". An unwritten rule is there is no whining in Yellowball.

Mexico Proclaims Yellowball as National Sport
Mexico has falsely claimed that Yellowball was started in Mexico City. Although there is mountains of evidence refuting this claim, the Mexican government holds ceremonies commemorating the birth of Yellowball with a weeklong celebration with tacos and cerveza. During this week it is rumored that hundreds of Mexicans drown attempting to master the intricacies of Yellowball

Future of Yellowball
The future of Yellowball is uncertain. With Mexico claiming it as their own the United Nations has stepped in to take over the sport. Winter is an especially slow time for Yellowball and the U.N. will decide during these months where recognition of the first Yellowball game was played.
