For some reason our coaches called it Bombardo. That was back in the 1800's though, the Ocho didn't even exist way back then.

Yep, so much fun, bombardment. Equal amount of players on each side, I forget how many balls were out in the center of the court but when the whistle blew, the mad rush to the balls and let the fun begin.

Exactly what is wrong with the world we're living in. When I was in school we loved dodgeball. The kids who were mostly female who didn't like to participate just stood in the back and accepted the out. But the people that wanted to play were enraged when they were eliminated and would jump the line to get back in. What a rush that game was.

Some kid got hit in the eye and lost part of his vision in my high school from dodgeball so they banned it. After 1 semester they brought it back though. Such a fun game.

Haha I don't think so. He was a class older than me so I never really knew him well.
But once when I was a freshman we had freshmen vs sophomores in dodgeball. In the end we had one skinny small kid left vs 3 sophomores. This kid was quick as hell and ended up taking down all 3 sophomores and we stormed the court like we won the superbowl hahaha good times.

Was watching Spike ball and the big buck Hunter championships earlier.
Then school bus racing.
They should make the ocho a thing. Could totally get you primed for the summer Olympics. I mean how do you know who you're going to root for in the badminton championships if you don't get a refresher?!

I had no idea anything like that existed. Imagine the training regiment he goes through.

It is unlike anything I've ever seen.
I think it needed some commentary to help explain what is going on, because on the ping pong balls he completely misses them with his knife but everyone still claps, and then at the 0:32 mark he tries to cut something and apparently screws up and you can here him mutter "aw fuck"...but I couldn't tell what he was actually trying to do.
