Can World Ball be played in winter

Some have asked, What are the optimum conditions for play? Is World Ball a seasonal sport? What would constitute a WB 'series'? 

Temperature is a relativity. We turn it up, turn it down. 

The world is a globe. 

So is World Ball. 

Does World Ball also experience global warming?

From the kinetic discharge of a suitable quincunx of players. 

This is like asking 'what is it like to be a World Ball?' 

You can be frost-tipped hitting a good sixer. You can reach 200 hits in November.

Feel the first flush of no centrigrade rushing your lungs.

Heady World Balls

The first selection on the World Ball Tour is from August 9th, 2024. While World Balls in ’24 get a lot of attention, this game at the Nomad House in Penn Valley, CA withstands the test of time. 

The second set of World Ball kicks off with an enormous 26+ minute World Ball session A few matches later, the group ease into a fast version of World Ball which has a much different strut and swagger than later versions. As if the 26+ minute World Ball wasn’t heady enough, the group went the distant towards the end of the set with a 21+ minute version of World Ball.

World Ball Rehearsals of the Twentieth Century (missing a player)

World Ball is my Daddy

I was born inside a normal-sized, inflatable ball.

The ball did not have to burst to free me. I quietly unfolded one segment -- the red one -- and slipped myself out when the time was right.

Like the alien in Jordan Peele's Nope, the world ball sealed itself with a reparative sliver of red plastic and left no trace of fold.

Only recently did my ancestors tell me this was no ordinary ball. 

Some have asked me what it feels like to have been carried for nine months, buoyant, in the communal leisure of the poets.

I have said it before and will say it again. 

They didn't name me Sestina for nothing.

World Ball Syncope Theory (1)

Players of World Ball may experience brief lapses of consciousness, as a result of ecstasy and soul-fusing through the rhythmic entrancement of pass and catch. It is impossible to get concussion: a symptom of a longer-lasting lapse of consciousness common to heavier ball sports like soccer, American football and rugby. 

World Ball syncope (a brief lapse of consciousness) is accompanied by a rise of adrenaline in the sternum. A prominent WB player has called this 'my sweet sweet clavicle heat', which is not anatomically accurate but the slogan has stuck among some WB communities. This rise of adrenaline has otherwise been compared to the rush when coming up on psychedelics, approaching orgasm or a great, soul-blasting sneeze.

World Ball audiences cannot help but participate after a period of watching. 

On occasion, a WB star player will switch to using forehead taps for passes. This is completely legal in the game and is a pleasant sensation for the player. It has been known to bring about World Ball Syncope a little faster. 

A feeling so similar as the forehead tap of the World Ball is to be kissed on the forehead by a lover who loves you, in some circumstance in which it is such a caress in service of grace.

During syncope, the heart slows, blood vessels dilate; the eyes are clear, the heart is full, you cannot lose. 

Professionals outside the sport will say 'most syncopal events have a benign cause'. 

If their syncopes are synced, two or more players experience what is called a mind meld.

We will have more on the mind meld later. 

Syncope can be 'treated' with flavoured soda, loving kindness, smelling salts, the application of a river crystal to the patient's t-zone. 

Some may try to play World Ball horizontally following immediate recovery. This is an understandable reflex. We call this variation of the game: 'World Ball Lying Down'. 

To be continued.

Port report

Secret investigations are resuming into the World Ball underground, worldwide.

Our reporter, Laser, prefers to go by Lass, stepped into The Mantrap -- a quoth 'old man pub' -- in a popular Scottish port town.

Through the back of The 'Trap, as it is known fondly by locals, is a hidden door leading onto a lawn. The lawn is sheltered by hedgerows bounded by lattices on which are grown many nasturtiums. The air is perfumed with their green, peppery musk.

If you can avoid the publust, this beatific Eden awaits.

Top players in the area gather to practice here. Sometimes neighbourhood kids volunteer to hold transparent tarp over the garden to block out the wind and rain. They consider this a celestial honour.

World Ball, as we know, is typically played in swimming pool environments. Enthusiasts here have struggled to find pools suitable for the intricate mind meld of the game -- especially given the volume and frequency of school swimming gala culture which clogs the municipal pool calendars. 

Due to the shortage of pool availability, WB players have taken to lawns. The game is totally different. For one, players wear thermals. There is no ragged danger slope of weed hell awaiting a ball of course. But there is no aquatic buoyancy. Some say the lawn game becomes 'too light'. To mitigate this, players may adopt a booty band of appropriate strength level in order to constrain the freedom of their legs. It is said the booty band makes for a game of special tension. It is excellent to watch. 

Look out: in future weeks, we may reveal the passcode for lawn entry in The Mantrap. Perms and suspicions apply.

Picture the scene. You know the one. God only knows World Ball. 

World Ball

World Ball has been called one of the most innovative new games, which is a full-length sequel to its award-winning, mind-bending game, Land Ball. A home version of Land Ball was released in 1988, along with ports for various home formats. These are known as home formats for Land Ball. The most popular World Ball style is the pool-style World Ball. It's commonly seen in all 50 states, but is more likely to appear in states with lower land costs. World Ball is now available in Scotland, where users are able to step into a world of discovery, exploration and adventure. Many new users enjoyed World Ball, though there is a learning curve, especially if you're not used to the controls.

On the question of difficulty

Some say World Ball represents a 'literary difficulty'. This is the statement of an intellectual chauvinist. World Ball is not a metaphor, simile. It has some proximity to metonymy, but ultimately it does not posit relation or causality on either an x or y axis.

World Ball, as has been previously established, is a quantum interruption of the open field. 

It is schlock. Beauty. Dissidence.

It is of a desirable vagueness so much to jump dimensions.

We write about it all the time. World Ball is the bouncing grammar of our spiritual lactic acid.

Fun for the Whole Family!

Feeling distant from kith and/or kin? Try a game of World Ball next family gathering and knit the clan back together again. Now, quantum entanglement isn't just for science geeks and new age weirdos, no, it's big dumb family fun! Got an uncle who just won't play ball? Not anymore you don't! Toss him the world with a mere tap and yank him back into the fold. He, like anyone, just needed a reminder of his inextricable relationality to all that is and has ever been humming and blipping in and out of this here round ball reality! Duh. It's easy AND it's fun.

Life Lessons Learned

Oh hey! What's up? How are you? Good, I hope! I'm doing good too, just chilling mostly. Just sitting around at home, reading blogs, eating leftovers, thinking about World Ball. Reading about World Ball. It's a hell of a subject, if I do say so myself. It's a pretty cool sport. I just love to get my friends together and tap the ball. Just tap it around. Finding the perfect amount of strength to tap the ball. However, it's not as easy as some people think, you know. Sometimes I'll tap too hard and the ball will fly in the air and roll down a hill or something. Sometimes one of my friends will tap to soft and it'll land in water. Get all wet. You got to get it just right and honestly that takes a lot of rehearsing. Or practice. I have noticed that by paying so much attention to the strengths of my taps, it has helped me considerably in the bedroom, you know what I mean? I mean fucking. I mean it's made me fuck better. Because of the lessons learned in World Ball, because you learn how hard or soft to tap, I now approach my love interest with the same consideration. If I fuck too hard it'll be a bad experience. If I fuck too soft, the ball will drop and we'll have to start all over.

I really really appreciate the valuable life/sex lessons that World Ball has taught me. It's improved everything, my prowess and my reputation. It's crazy, you know, anyone can play World Ball, but it takes a special person to apply lessons they learn from World Ball and put those lessons into real life situations. Like fucking. Next, I hope to take those lessons to help me become a businessman. But I'm getting a bit ahead of myself. It's like I always say, you got to take it one tap at a time.

And I always say that all the time.

Gregory's Game (part 1)

A young man named Gregory was not very good at football. Unfortunately, he also failed to reach any degree of technical prowess with the drums. It was clear after a listless summer of height growth passed that Gregory was not destined for any greatness concerning the limbs. He lacked rhythm, poetry and the gestural flair of emotional drama known to our best footballers. As a goalkeeper, he evinced signs of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder which Dr M. diagnosed as lovesickness. Love, a gorgeous disease, was reason enough for Gregory to make big changes. He had learned, via a futuretube known as the 'internet forum known as reddit', that a new game was on the horizon. It had been around since the Picts had set their eyes to a geometric synchrony in service of sun. And yet it would not take the modern form until the invention of cheap, soft consumer plastics. To play this game required a certain heartiness of lungs. And Gregory, this boy who would bellow at his love, BELLA BELLA, across the sullen hills of Cumbernauld, had lungs aplenty. After consultation with the solar oracle and the cheap malt of his father, he took the Megabus to Glasgow, paid a lifetime of saving pound coins, and flew his ass to California via the red eye.

The Future and Past of World Ball

Dream of a future world ball, a place where one lives in harmony within the confines of both nature and the mechanical world. A ball that was built in a factory, based off the original globular home in which we live. Is the World Ball the ultimate form of technology? Is it so technically advanced that it becomes simple, a playtime toy for a small child to enjoy with adult supervision? The first recorded World Ball was tapped into existence in the modern world in 1937 in Malibu, CA, the same day Albert Hoffman rode his bicycle home in Switzerland. The tappers kept the ball quite dry that day and scored a high of 72. (The current World Ball record is 230). They slept the sleep of sheep that night (sheep are known for getting great nights of sleep), with dry hands and satin sheets. Today, the World Ball has become a universal symbol for family, creation, innovation, dexterity, spiritual awareness, and joy. It is celebrated in over 14 countries. It is illegal in 8 states.

(World) Ball is Life

If you have reached a crossroads, there may be a way not prior considered. Throw every option in the air. The trick is to keep your options up there.

World is all the way; it makes worth for participants. Inherent, vibes-based and stripped of telos, world ball wills its players a transparent future of slow release ecstasy. 

What is ball after all?

Ball is globular body.

Ball is golden.

I am ball.

You are ball.

We are balling.

Ball is life.

BLUE CHIP WORLDBALL

A biro drew fairy lights from north to south. Each curlicue formed in the civil way a natural ball. There is an unforgetting perfection in the way we breathe synchrony — tap — tap — like driving softly purloined motorised moods into the dust, ugh. We improvise a quincunx of expert play til the end of day. 

It was an instant commoning moment to moment quicksilver of static, seeing lines where the ball was — like we were totally capable of magic and twangling Keatish feelings of negative capability in the wholeness of being each other — unbeing by a ball, 2% lifted — worldball: better than Zoloft.

WORLDBALL RISING

Worldball is a pastry flaking into a city, a sort of irretrievable feeling of elation among friends, a melodic conduit to mayhem, a smudge on the iPhone eleven and corporate benefits, a so-called shirt with floral patterns worn by everyone, the end of a job becoming freedom, a delicately applied sunscreen, a new movie, a capillary of play running straight to the river, a very hot rock, a burnish of cold skin upon said rock. Worldball is the antidote to feeling blue because its soul is juicy red like a beer you don't want or need — just beautiful to know it exists. Worldball is made of acid-seen suns at the climax morse code of the trip, like to put the stars on and heed their infinity.

WORLDBALL IS NOT A STATISTIC

As it stands, the current record for Worldball is 230. 

What else?

The greatest number of layers in a cake, the most jump ropes skipped in a minute by a person wearing flip flops, most kg of waste dragged by hand out the ocean, most ice sodas guzzled in half an hour by a child, most pedantic moments in a situation comedy drag show based on the concept of Worldball, the most tabs of acid consumed by a single adult male in 24 hours, the most times a Bristol dj said 'brat' in a single second, the heaviest clean & jerk by a weightlifter. Slay. 

Worldball rules. Who's gonna beat 230? 

Remember, it's more than the game.
