Towerball

Towerball is a sport which bears a resemblance to the real world game of rugby, albeit with some differences. Like rugby, the game is played on a rectangular pitch, with two H-shaped goals at either end. Unlike rugby, the ball used is round, rather than egg-shaped.
All players can carry or kick the ball at any time, and the ball can be passed in any direction. Goals - called 'efforts' - are scored by throwing or kicking the ball underneath the rival team's goal. 
A 'three-pointer' can also be scored by kicking the ball over the cross-bar of the goal. Unlike rugby, however, a three-pointer can be scored at any time, rather than functioning as a 'conversion' following a regular touchdown.
Additionally, points can be scored from either side of the goal. Indeed, point-scoring from the rear side of the goal is incentivised, as efforts are deducted when the ball leaves the pitch after going through the goal - a strong possibility, as goals are typically set just three feet way from the edge of the pitch.

The sport of Towerball was developed at the Pemblish boarding school of Greytowers.
