Are they positions?They posted a pic in the Seattle newspaper today and I was just curious...1. Basketball without backboards. And more rules. And played exclusively by women.2. Yes.3. Very popular in Australia, I'm not sure about anywhere else.4. Positions -- each position is only allowed to be on a certain position on the court.

Not to mention the flow of the game's killed so many times Twitter: @RyanMcD29 // College Crosse: Where I write, chat, and infograph lacrosse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drevel Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 That is really interesting. I never knew a soprt like this existed. The stands look pretty full, so it must be good to attract fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very popular in Australia, I'm not sure about anywhere else.4. Positions -- each position is only allowed to be on a certain position on the court.I'll expand, being an Aussie and all.1. What Brian said, no dribbling, you catch it then you pass it, have to shoot from inside the D2. When guys play it, they wear shorts.3. Australia as Brian said, but also England, New Zealand, Jamaica, Fiji, possibly South Africa. Next year the AUS and NZL national leagues will cease and they'll play a Trans-Tasman League.4. GK- Goalkeeper, GD- Goaldefense, WD - Wing defense, C- Centre, WA- Wingattack, GA- Goalattack, GS- Goal shooter. It basically shows where players are allowed to go, only GA,GS,GK,GD are allowed in the D's. C can go anywhere but the D's, WA, GA, WD, GD can only go to the second third, (depending on which way they lineup).Hope that helps. twitter.com/thebrainofMatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
