KAZAAM!!!!

goodysmack: i had this dream last night where you, rod, miller and brett were playing this game in my front yard when i got home
goodysmack: and it involved throwing a tennis ball into the air, then jumping to catch it and you had to yell KAZAAM before you landed with it or else you'd get smeared by everyone
goodysmack: but sometimes instead of catching it, you would want to bat it....i dont remember the object of the game...i guess you dont either?
legerlotz: hahahahah
legerlotz: what the hell?
goodysmack: i donno
legerlotz: KAZAAAM!!!
goodysmack: i remember it being fun
goodysmack: and miller was really good at it
legerlotz: so we actually played this game?
goodysmack: well....yes, in my dream
legerlotz: haha
goodysmack: wait..its not a dream
goodysmack: more of a vision
legerlotz: haha
legerlotz: wait wait wait
legerlotz: thats it
legerlotz: we need to play this game for real now
legerlotz: lets make rules when we get home
legerlotz: write everything down you remember
goodysmack: haha
goodysmack: i just saw you guys playing
goodysmack: you'd throw the ball straight up into the air
goodysmack: a tennis ball
goodysmack: then everyone would jump for it, and the person who caught it would yell KAZAAM
legerlotz: hahahaha
legerlotz: thats the best part
goodysmack: but sometimes people would bat it back up into the air
goodysmack: ok...how about this...its kinda like australian rules football
legerlotz: haha
goodysmack: we have teams
goodysmack: and you have to advance into the goal
goodysmack: and the ball cant touch the ground or its a turnover
legerlotz: ok
legerlotz: haha
legerlotz: can you carry the ball? or hold it?
goodysmack: so the thrower throws the ball up, and his teammates go for it
goodysmack: no...cant run
goodysmack: oooh....you can run
legerlotz: hahaha
goodysmack: unless you yell kazaam
legerlotz: and then what happens
goodysmack: which is like a fair catch, and you have a free throw from there
legerlotz: aha
legerlotz: so the games name is kazaam then?
goodysmack: well yeah
legerlotz: excellent
legerlotz: gotta run
goodysmack: this was the best thing weve ever been sent from above
goodysmack: ok....spread the word
legerlotz: will do
goodysmack: later

further rules: If you don't yell "kazaam," you can run with the ball. However, if you are tackled while in possession of the ball, it is a turnover.

The ball must be thrown overhand, and at least at a 60 degree angle to create jump balls, no just direct passes. This rule will be loosely enforced and considered a point of gentleman's honor.

...of course these rules (as written in the prophecy) will have to be test played and then augmented to fit human limitation, as we can not possibly be held to the same standards as the gods who infiltrated my dreams.)

The real question is: will the other coaches be willing to forgo coaching rugby for a few weeks while I iron out the kinks in the game using the Swarm Rugby girls as a focus group?
