Spanna65 168 Posted August 31, 2015 Hey guys,I'm only a newbie to this site, and I've been inspired by some of the great concept series such as Raysox's Yakball and In_a_rush's URL, to create my own fictional sport. It's called Bucketball. Well, it's not entirely new I guess, my brother and I Invented a form of the sport wayback. But nevertheless, I'd like to showcase it to you americans.A brief outline of some rules of this fine game- (Template is an adapted form of Darth Brook's basketball court psd. Cheers Darth)Aim- The aim of the game is to score as many buckets as possible- 4 x 10 minute quarters- Middle bucket is worth 4, outer ones 2. A shot outside the pin that goes in is a bonus point.- 5 players on court allowed atone time. These are ...1 x Lynch ( Kind of a goaltender. Called this due to the pin shape in which he's allowed to roam in.2 x Rogues (Defenders. Called this due to there rough, no frills type playing style.)2 x Questors ( Attackers. Shoot at all the buckets.)- Only 3 substitutions allowed per quarter- Players must bounce the ball along the ground at least once when passing the ball.- Ball must be passed at least three times before a shot is allowed to be taken.- 2 minute powerplay If a player gives away an Orange or Yellow Card.- A player can only take a maximum 3 paces without passing.- Bucketball is a minimal contact sport. If a player with the ball is indefinitely being pushed around free passes are given.At the moment this will only be an 8 team league, with possible expansion across the world later. Here's a bit of a league map for ya.The first team, from the sporting capital of the world, will be... Melbourne! Can't wait to share this with you guys. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CodeG 148 Posted August 31, 2015 Crappers guess I gotta brush up on my Aussie accent and stuff. I like seeing new sports fictional league thingys, 1 question bout this what is the object you never clearly spoke it on that post.This should be interesting being that Australia is a big country with not many people so the teams should be very competitive Will they're ever be a PBA-American style or PBA-World 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wildcomet 143 Posted August 31, 2015 This looks/sounds like a very interesting sport, and it'll be cool to see a league focused on Australia! I'll definitely be following along with this.On a side note, thank you for the compliments of my series. It means a lot that it could help to inspire others! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And yes, I think a PBA Europe/ USA thing will probably be on the cards.This looks/sounds like a very interesting sport, and it'll be cool to see a league focused on Australia!

Spanna65 168 Posted August 31, 2015 Ok here, we have Melbourne, one of two teams with alliterative (Is that a word) names. And, just in case you guys haven't noticed PBA stands for Professional Bucketball Association. Feedback appreciated.HomeAwayCourtBucketball fun fact- a trajectory foul is a awarded to an opposing team if a player attempts to pass the ball to another player without it bouncing at least once. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan O'Mac 492 Posted September 1, 2015 I was initially distracted by the shortness of the shorts...After that, I really like the Monarchs. The jerseys are nice, but I feel that the numbers on the shorts should match those on the shirt. I like the skyline on the court as well, but the hashtag would do better without the midcourt line bisecting it. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And yeah, I probably should fix the hashtag. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spanna65 168 Posted September 1, 2015 Bump- Updated Melbourne Uniforms are up.Next team is to be Adelaide, and I need some name suggestions. Can anyone think of a creative nickname for a shark, something like the thrashers or something? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyersfan 692 Posted September 2, 2015 My only suggestion is to recolor the PBA logo on the court. It's kinda distracting like that. Great unis 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildcomet 143 Posted September 2, 2015 A couple I thought that I haven't seen used for sports teams before that could sound pretty good with Adelaide are Makos, Megaladons, or Silvertips 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I kind of agree, I'll fix it up tonight.Also, some of the suggestions are brilliant. My favorites would have to be Clipsals or Makos. I'll see if I can get some sort of concept sketch up later tonight. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancealot 84 Posted September 2, 2015 Does adelaide have some shark significance that i dont know about because this isnt the first time ive seen someone use it, where you could use a name more relevant to the city like colonels woch would be more fitting.The melbourne sheild seems really nottom heavy, i would bring the crown into the shield or move the elements up and make the statuon bigger 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spanna65 168 Posted September 3, 2015 BumpOk, so I'm going to go with the name Clipsals. I'm currently sketching some logo ideas, you should see them by tomorrow. Until then any last minute feedbacks for the monarchs. ( Apart from the court, which will be fixed soon.) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spanna65 168 Posted September 5, 2015 Ok, here's a basic idea for the Adelaide Clipsals. Feedback is welcome. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
