PsychoKarate

About PsychoKarate

PsychoKarate is a sportsgame invented about 35 years ago by the author (Enda Mulcahy) and friends – circa 1989. The sportsgame involves a combination of Baseball and Karate in that teams of two players try to bring a baseball bat thrown into the pitcher’s mound back to their own base.

With two bases each on opposing sides of the diamond, the player who gets the baseball bat safely back to their or their team-mates base gains a point for their team and throws it back in to the pitcher’s mound again.

The bat is padded to avoid injury and players may wrestle and use karate moves on each other to try and prevent the opposing team scoring a point or to try to prise the baseball bat away from the opposing team.

The player in possession of the padded baseball bat may use it to ward off opposing team players.

The game can also be played as an individual game 4 players against each other or as many players as can be fit into a constructed baseball diamond, with the diamond not necessarily having to be four sides and four bases.

The game may be timed or up to 9 points (or as many points as pre-determined).

About Jugger

Jugger is like a cross between American Football and Medieval Combat. It is a team Sport where the objective is to get a skull from the middle of the field into a zone at the opposing teams end. There are five players on each team, four of whom are paired off fightning each other with padded weapons such as swords.

When a player is ‘killed’ in these fights he has to kneel down and is out of the game for that particular round. The Fifth person is the Qwick. His job is to get the skull from the middle of the field past the opposing Qwick into a zone at their opponents endzone. He can only advance the skull once the other teams fighters are all dead. The team which scores the most skull touchdowns is the winner. [References: 3]

Report

For 2009-10 the Points system became based on total games won rather that 2 points for a match won and 1 point for a match drawn. i.e. If a match finished 5 games to 3 the winning team would gain 5 points and the losing team 3 points.
