The new sport of Colorado Floating Ball (alt: Scandinavian Footsie) was created by SC Shadrick (it came to him in a dream) from Golden, CO, on May 5th, 2022. It is soccer mixed with King of the Hill but in cold water with ice (but longer)

Rules and Objectives:

2 large ice blocks with pointed bottoms (as described in equipment) are placed into a large fish tank of cold water.  A block is assigned to each of the two players.  A ping pong ball is floated in the water (neutral zone). 

Player one starts by using their foot to place the ping pong ball in a crevice under Player two's ice block.  The opponent must then use the minimal amount of time to knock the ball back into the neutral zone, i.e. make it float on top of the water.  The timer is then stopped and that opposing player now has 5 seconds to place the ball under the original placers block, in which the original placer now has the same objective against their own timer. 

The defense timer starts when player declares their attempt to reach the ball with foot outside of water (same 5 second time allotment for declaring as shooting), and the timer stops when ball breaks the top of the water in the neutral zone. 

In a 2 to 5 minute round (as agreed upon by both players prior), the player who's block had the lesser amount of time with the ball spent under it wins.   

In the case the 5 second shot/defense clock is not respected, the shooting player forfeits the round.  In the case that the ball was not successfully placed under the block by a player, results in floating back to neutral zone, the ball is returned to the other player and the shot clock is reset.

Equipment Required:

• Large polyurethane fish tank (dimensions tbd)
• 2 large, 5x5 pointed ice blocks (dimensions tbd)
• 1 ping pong ball 
• Timers
