==Overview==
Inspired by the Griffball game mode in online Halo contests, a set of eight men on opposite sides of the field square off. The Griffball field is 100 yards long, the same as a regulation NFL football field, but with crashboards on both sidelines as in regulation hockey, and the ability to leap over opponents in key jump areas throughout the field.
