That reminds me of when our company was bought by a larger org, that had locations around the world. During our first all hands meeting, we discovered a few locations had some pretty serious fossbal players (while at a pub during the event). Shortly after that, most locations had bought a table or two, and the next global meeting we had a tournament. While none of us were "pros" the games were intense, and made for some proper team building or rivalries.

I love sports like this, air hockey, chase tag, paintball, all of that stuff. You get people playing because they love it. The passion, the emotion, the tension, the drama is all as compelling as it gets. There's something about the big league jaded athlete making more per game than most people make in a year, in an arena or ballpark or stadium where a seat can cost as much as some people make in a week that has soured me on those sports. I'd much rather watch something like this these days. It's always more entertaining and it's fun to check out something different for a change. Everyone involved here did a great job. I'm paused at the start of the 3rd set here, so time to unpause it and see how the rest of this unfolds. Cheers friends.

How is posession determined after the ouck flies off the table? I cant seem to find a pattern. Sometimes it seems like it goes back to whoever had last controlled posession, but then other times it seems like it goes to the other person. But it doesnt alternate... How does it work?

@centerlineproairhockey 5 ай бұрын

When a puck flies off, the player who gets possession is the one who made the last defensive strike on it. Whoever made the last offensive strike loses possession. Offensive and defensive strikes are determined by whether the mallet is moving forward (offensive) or sideways/backwards (defensive).

Question: does this game have a room for foul or cheating?

@centerlineproairhockey 3 ай бұрын

Fouls exist. You can not put your mallet on top of the puck to stop it. Whoever makes the last offensive strike on the puck before it flies off commits a foul and possession goes to the opponent. You can not strike a puck if it is fully across the centerline. You can not touch the puck with anything other than your mallet. All these are fouls.
