Funny story, every sport and its strategy is about exploiting the weak link.


Football - Look that corner isn't very good, throw the ball against him


Hockey - That defenseman doesn't skate very well, lets attack that side of the ice


Baseball, their third baseman is terrible, hit the ball at him.


But the point that they miss, is that in dodgeball or murder ball, every kid has a chance for that moment to shine as well. That weak link kid catches the ball and gets a two player swing, or smashes the bigger stronger kid in the junk.


I guess these researchers want to make a sport where everyone wins, and it bolsters the weaker player.



Maybe some ideas


Hug ball - "You carry the ball over to an opponent and when you give him the ball he has to get a hug"


Fastest cow track and field - Give the slower kids a 5 second head start in everything. On the broad jump and high jump they get to use a springboard advantage.


The only problem I ever had with murder ball/dodge ball is when the teachers played because it felt like their throws were breaking the sound barrier.


I mean, when I was in school we used basketballs, I'm sure the generation before the used the shotput. We played dodge ball at a football night and there were these soft nerf balls.


As much as we as a society believe we are evolved, everything comes from strong versus weak. Nobody is going to give you a break when you enter the adult world, whether its at work or at home.
