Debaucheryball

Debaucheryball, similar in certain highly suggestive ways to Rocky DeKoven's much-vaunted "Shoreshoes," and no doubt born of similar influence to that which gave rise to "Subversive Golf," and a direct descendant of Urban Golf, Debaucheryball is Shoreshoes played with bocce balls. Or, as some might call it, "Free Form Ad Hoc Bocce."

The perhaps most significant contribution of D-Ball to the lexicon of game wackification and further Calvinballism could perhaps be seen as the "Fair Rule" concept.

When a team scores three times in a row (three consecutive turns) that team is allowed to make up a new rule. A new (fair) rule is defined as one that affects each player exactly the same, or one that all the players agree is fair. The purpose is to make the game more complicated and more challenging, or simply more annoying.

Any standard fair rule is fair, regardless of what some loser who you barely know but your friend brought thinks. There are some rules which come up in debaucheryball again and again, and history says, “Live with it.” Some societies, the more advanced of the primitive societies, start their games with several fair rules and go from there.

While there is no limit to the number of fair rules allowed, more than three can become somewhat confusing. It’s a good idea, when creating a fourth rule, to make sure it negates an existing rule.

Though, arguably, one could make a case for the even vastier implications of the Unfair Rule

When a team scores four times in a row (scores again after just making a rule), that team is allowed to make an unfair rule.

An unfair rule is defined as one that affects only one person—not an entire team. The idea is to single out and pick on one person, you know, to build their character and sportsmanship or make them look like a complete tool. This is a great way of getting back at the guy who drew all over you with magic marker the last time you passed out at a party.

Unfair rules can be a lot of fun, but they can get out of hand. Be prepared for a war if you pick on someone too hard. The unfair rules listed elsewhere are only suggestions.

There is no limit to the number of unfair rules.
