| | |  Ball games: Encyclopedia II - Danball - HistoryDanball was invented January 31, 1992, in the United States, just outside Anniston, Alabama, by a group of teenagers who attended Saks High School. The sport began as a chaotic exercise vaguely resembling road hockey. It was named in honor of Dan, a delivery driver for the Custom Pizza company, who'd brought pizza to the players a few hours before the invention of the game.

| | | | Ball games: Encyclopedia II - Bowls - Bias of Bowls Bowls are designed to travel a curved path, referred to as bias, and was originally produced by inserting weights to one side of the bowl. This is no longer permitted by the rules and bias is now produced entirely by the shape of the bowl. A bowler can recognise the bias direction of the bowl in his hand by a dimple or symbol on one side. Regulations determine minimum and maximum curvature characteristics allowed, but within these rules bowlers can and do choose bowls to suit their own preference. They were originally made from lignum vitae, ...

| | | | Ball games: Encyclopedia II - Game - Definition Although many animals play, only humans confirmably have games. Whether some animals are intelligent enough to game is debatable, though a game has ritualistic elements (such as rules and procedures) that are voluntarily acted upon, rather than as a result of instinct. The existence of rules and criteria that decide the outcome of games imply that games require intelligence of a significant degree of sophistication.
Non-human animal species may, however, engage in games whose rules and sophistication may be of such a nature as to be i ...

| | | | Ball games: Encyclopedia II - Danball - How to play
Danball - Teams and players.
Danball is usually played by two teams, each with three players on the field at a time. Free substitution is allowed, but only when play has been stopped.
Danball - The Street.
The game is played on a 100-foot stretch of street, normally asphalt- or concrete-paved. The 20-foot area in the center of the street is called “no man’s land.” Goal lines are at both ends of the 100-foot section of street. The goal lines and the edges of no man’s land are usually marked with sidewalk chalk.
