Bossaball

Today's top story...
Recently nominated in my own head for the "Goofy Sport of the Future" award:Bossaball!

For all of you who ask, what is Bossaball ?

Bossaball is a ball game between 2 teams. It's a variation on the volleyball concept.
The court is a combination of inflatables and trampolines, divided by a net.

And if that isn't enough...

Bossaball can be played in teams of 3 or 4 or 5 players. The aim of bossaball is for each team to ground the ball on the opponent's field. Each team is entitled to a maximum of 8 contacts with the ball on its own field, meanwhile the trampoline jumper gains height to prepare a (spectacular) smash. Any body part can be used.
...
Bossaball mixes sports with music. Bossaball referees have a whistle, a microphone, various percussion instruments and a dj set. They referee the game and add riveting tunes to take it to a higher level.

Wow. This sounds like something out of Futurama's 3004 Olympics.

In other news, what you don't know can hurt you. Yesterday I was unable to enter an exam because I was 36 minutes late rather than the permitted 30. Had I known there was a 30 min limit I would have been there.
