..invent a new sport..

It is a long time since a new sport was invented. So here is a challenge. The challenge is to invent a new sport. Some of the design factors are as follows:

1. Can be played by up to forty people at a time.
2. Players can be mixed in gender, age and ability.
3. Finite scoring or achievement system.
4. Can be played without special playing field.
5. Does not demand fitness or athletic ability.
6. Very Suitable for TV showing.
7. Fun to play.
8. Easy to learn.
9. Involves many players at any moment.
10. Easy to referee.

See how you can deal with that challenge. Send me your suggestions (email to: edwdebono@msn.com subject: sport). Try them out first if you can.
