Grav-ball

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Grav-ball.

Grav-ball, also known as Zoneball, was a popular sport. It originated on Nubia and was played in small indoor courts. Teams of six equipped with remotely powered hover boots bounced around in a three dimensional court in an attempt to score goals. Players pushed off walls and floors (and sometimes each other) for movement. The ball was held at the end of a repulsor baton and could be passed from player to player.

Games were held on informal levels in health clubs and on a planetwide level with professional leagues. There were one hundred and twenty-eight teams that competed for a bid to the Annual SecBowl, the sector championship. The chairman of the biggest Grav-ball federation was a Toydarian named Zen Lotto. He judged some of the largest matches personally on the energy fields of some of the most famous Nubian Grav-ball arenas.

Deme Tryshyn was the highest scorer in the history of the game, and was given a three year partnership by Ardees Beverage Company worth 3.1 billion credits prior to the outbreak of the Clone Wars. Staive Pedsten was another famous player.

The Imperial Academy had an Inter-Academy League.

[edit] Behind the scenes

Grav-ball seems to be a high-tech version of a cross between the real-world sports of slamball (itself a version of basketball) and lacrosse.
