Inspired by Raymond Queneau’s 100 Thousands Billion Poems<\/a>, Andrew McKenzie’s site Ten Million Sports<\/a> randomly combines elements from football, polo, water polo, lacrosse, ice hockey, table tennis, basketball, rugby, the Kirkwall ba’ and beach volleyball … to generate new sports.<\/p>\n

Here is one randomly generated sport (ice skates + ping-pong in Kirkwall).<\/p>\n

Duration<\/strong>: 60 minutes, 3 periods of twenty minutes each.<\/p>\n

Playing area<\/strong>: The town of Kirkwall in Orkney, Scotland.<\/p>\n

Objective<\/strong>: To score more goals than the other side. The goals, located at both ends, are 3m wide x 0.9m high.<\/p>\n

Players per side<\/strong>: 5<\/p>\n

Attire<\/strong>: A helmet combo, shoulder pads, trousers, shirts, elbow pads, gloves, shin guards and ice-skates.<\/p>\n

Ball<\/strong>: A polo ball: spherical, high compact plastic. Circumference: 23-27cm. Weight: 120-135g.<\/p>\n

Method of play<\/strong>: The ball may only be hit with a ping-pong paddle.<\/p>\n

This is a pretty great idea – could be interesting to try out in actuality if you managed to have all the equipment available. (We may have to renege on Kirkwall, Scotland.)<\/p>\n
