[edit] Postball

Original research, not verifiable, found no related results on Google, probably a sport invented by the creator of the article. – Elisson • Talk 12:46, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Yes, ok we invented the sport. But we are trying to create publicity for it because its only known where we live. Surely other recently invented sports such as snowboarding had to go through this sort of process too, and look how far they have gone. What have you got to lose if it stays online anyway, its not as if it isn't played by people. It is a popular game where we live, and if given the opportunity I know it can go far. Just please give it a chance. Thomas
