message: quote: The tournament has been held every year since then, which makes it the oldest tournament in the history of the sport. The Cologne version of the game didn't make the breakthrough, and was only played for a short time thereafter in Cologne, and has been long since forgotten. The Cologne team itself also turned to Underwater Rugby.
This makes sense only if the Cologne club turned to something else, not to underwater rugby. This may be out of sequence too.
:No, I think the point is Cologne was playing that proto-game earlier mentioned, the one with the net. Other clubs saw the saltwater-filled ball, and developed underwater rugby. In time, DUC Köln ditched the volleyball-like game, too, and got on board with UWR like the other clubs.
:Feel free to rewrite that section to make it clearer.  —Wiki Wikardo 12:28, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Sections like equipment, rules leagues would be very much appreciated.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.178.30.197 (talk) 16:19, 19 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  International competition 

message: Hi, 
I've just made some smaller changes recently and I would like to do more. I'm a person who has been playing and following the sport the past 5 years. 
About the most recent edit :
I might be biased so that could be the reason why some of the texts sound buzzwordy as I've been a fan of this sport for quite a while now. On the other hand I know quite much of it and I can compare it to other sports I did or still do. I think the whole page would require updating, the reasons why I haven't done that is because I don't know Wikipedia much, I don't have so much time, and I would need to have the text checked by someone as my English knowledge is not flawless. Anyway, I would really like to emphasise how young and different UWR is, for instance the fact that it allows mixed gender teams to compete, or being a 3 dimensional teamsport, which I find exceptional. Simply saying it's underwater does not describe that, I also play underwater hockey, which is also underwater yet it has nothing in common with rugby in this aspect as the puck does run on the bottom of the pool even if some shots lift it up. So the same discipline as hockey, soccer, etc.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uwrplayer (talk • contribs) 00:18, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: But "new generation" doesn't really mean anything  - what's the old generation? who defines it?  - and adding the phrase just confuse the reader, who would expect some description of distinct generations in the article. The distinctive elements of the sports should be described in the article, not hyped with phrases. And any sport that's underwater is inherently 3-dimensional, even if UR makes somewhat more use of the vertical axis than other underwater sports (although not all of them - e.g., underwater football or Aquathlon (underwater wrestling)). - DavidWBrooks (talk) 02:39, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
