I remember playing a game of this name in my British secondary school. It was played in the school gym, and was a cross between dodgeball and rounders. We used a football-sized foam ball, and the 'batter' used his hand to bat the ball. The aim of the game was to run to the other end of the hall without the ball being caught by a fielder, or being hit by the ball thrown by a fielder. If you ran to the end of the hall and immeadiately back, you scored a point; if you made your return run on another batter's run, you only scored half a point. I think only three batters were allowed to stay in the safe zone at the far end of the hall at any one time, if a fourth entered they would all be out. I wonder if anyone else knows anything about this game. --Gareth Hughes 16:00, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, thats how i remembered it, thank for jogging my memory. I dont remember if we played with our hands or with a bat when i was doing it. But the ball can't have been very hard, what with kids playing it and all. I put all i could remember from it into the article. --Wonderfool t(c) 14:55, 28 July 2005 (UTC)

Just played it for the first time in my life, just an hour ago. Amazing sport. I'll try and add some stuff. 80.43.44.91 15:04, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
