Think baseball with fizz!

In college, we used to play with the cheapest soda we could find- then you shake up the cans, and pitch them and hit them like in baseball. I don't remember how you scored points though.

At Pennsic I think they use the cheapest beer they can find for fizz.

And I love you.

This girl is more hardcore than you can possibly imagine...

She received what would've been a career ending injury to any seasoned pro in her rookie outing, laughed at the blood, willingly drank of the foul game beer and then taunted the pitcher, daring him to pitch to her again.

And she looks great in a soaking wet tank top. Bonus!

I was escorted by members of The Clan of the Burning Hand last year for my first time ever seeing what is know as Fizzball. Rowan, I saw you beat up that high-velocity beer with your face.... and laugh at it.... and taunt the pitcher for another! It was amazing! You rock, chica! Can't wait to see what happens this year...

You get hammered? Last year I didn't even make it all the way through the tourney. They poured me into my tent in the semi-finals.

Goddamn I love alcohol!

Rogueside assistance anyone?

THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS ON THE LENGTH OR WEIGHT OF A BAT, BUT STRIKING SURFACES CAN BE NO LARGER THAN 2" OR 3" IN DIAMETER


For the curious, here are the rest of the rules:

FIZZBALL RULES:

1) FOUL TIPS ARE STRIKES.....ALWAYS. A FOUL TIP IS ANY CAN THAT DOESN'T OPEN FULLY, NO MATTER HOW FAR IT GOES.
2) A HOMERUN IS ONLY COUNTED AS A HOMERUN IF IT GOES OVER THE HOMERUN LINE. IF IT GOES UNDER, IT IS ONLY A DOUBLE (2 POINTS)
3) A PIECE OF CAN ONLY COUNTS FOR POINTS IF IT CLEARS THE BATTING CIRCLE
4) ANYONE WHO THROWS A BAT WILL BE PENALIZED 1 POINT
5) A FIZZBALLER CAN ONLY PLAY FOR ONE TEAM PER TOURNAMENT
6) NO MORE THAN 2 TEAMS PER CAMP
7) A BATTER CAN CALL FOR A NEW PITCHER AT ANY TIME
8) THE REFEREE CAN AWARD STYLE POINTS AT HIS DISCRETION
9) IF A PLAYER ISNT IN ROGUE CAMP WHEN HIS TURN AT BAT COMES, WE WILL NOT WAIT, THE PLAYER'S AT BAT IS LOST.
10) TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE WILL BE DETERMINED RANDOMLY THIS YEAR. THIS MEANS IF YOU HAVE MULTIPLE TEAMS THERE IS A CHANCE THEY WILL HAVE TO PLAY AGAINST EACH OTHER, EVEN IN THE FIRST ROUND.
11) LOSING TEAM ALWAYS CLEARS THE FIELD
12) IF THERE IS NO REPRESENTATIVE FROM A TEAM IN ROGUE CAMP WHEN THEY ARE DUE TO PLAY, WE CAN NO LONGER SHUFFLE THE BRACKETS, THEY WILL FORFEIT THE GAME...................................SLACKERS BEWARE.
13) IN CASE OF A TIE, ONE BATTER, ELECTED FROM EACH TEAM, WILL BAT 3 MORE CANS TO DETERMINE THE WINNER. IF THIS ALSO ENDS IN A TIE THEN EACH TEAM WILL AGAIN SELECT A PLAYER TO CHUG A WARM, NASTY FIZZBALL BEER. WINNER IS THE FASTEST.
14)THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS ON THE LENGTH OR WEIGHT OF A BAT, BUT STRIKING SURFACES CAN BE NO LARGER THAN 2" OR 3" IN DIAMETER


I just might have to pop in to War for 36 hours or so for Fizzball. I just might. No promises...
