Orbula in Hyranor

The game of modern orbula is very popular in Hyranor, and organised into different leagues. Every four years, there is also a world cup organised between different kingdoms.

For the general rules of orbula, see Orbula Rules. For the ritual that is old orbula, visit the Old Orbula page.

## HASMO

The "Hyranorian Association of the Sport of Modern Orbula" is the organisation that runs orbula in Hyranor.

For a long time, the organisation HASMO is run by the Jigglesphere family. Some time before 163 AE then, its president Crigley Jigglesphere takes it to new heights and essentially forms a city around the organisation, the city of Hasmo, which not only becomes the head quarters of orbula, but also important enough to be the namesake of the political region of Hasmo. Thus, Crigley Jigglesphere additionally becomes the city baron of the city of Hasmo and its surrounding towns.

## Leagues

### HASMOLIGA

The biggest cities in the kingdom all have an orbula team that is full of the best players in the kingdom that sometimes come from far away to be part of the team and play in the HASMOLIGA, the "Hyranorian Assoiation for the Sport of Modern Orbula League In Giant Areas". In this league, the general rules are changed up to create a more fantastical and spectacular gameplay. The teams allowed to compete in HASMOLIGA are fixed, they are the teams from the biggest cities.

Every year is a season of HASMOLIGA.

#### HASMOIST and GOTH

At the end of every season, the league has a tournament called HASMOIST, "Hyranorian Association for the Sport of Modern Orbula Interregional Sports Tournament". The winner of Hasmoist is called the GOTH, the "Greatest Orbula Team in Hyranor".

### HASMORQL

HASMORQL, "Hyranorian Association for the Sport of Modern Orbula Regional Qualification League", is a regional league created a few hundred years ago to give the smaller teams a chance to also compete in HASMOIST, It was created after people complained to HASMO that only allowing the big cities to compete was not fair.

Every HASMOLIGA team hosts a region for HASMORQL. The southernmost HASMORQL region, for example, is the Azure League.

HASMORQL season is at the same time as HASMOLIGA season. The winner of every regional league is invited to HASMOIST and gets to play with the HASMOLIGA teams. So far, no HASMORQL team has ever won HASMOIST, but it is an honour nonetheless to participate in it.

## History

Modern orbula was invented in Winster by Orbula Cruyff, who also was a legendary player, thousands and thousands years ago, around the same time the kingdom of Hyranor was founded. For more about old orbula, its function, and its replacement through modern orbula, see Old Orbula.
