History
Lumiball is a nostalgic pass time dating back hundreds of years. Created during the Slater Louse Blight, the legend goes that a group of children wished to settle a dispute over an empty lot with another group of children. The two groups concocted a contest using a Slater Louse carcass. The lot was won and the winning group spent years playing the game on the lot. As the years passed, the game caught on in popularity and some 60 or so years after its initial inception, formalized rules were created and the first Lumiball Sports Federation was created.

The Rules
Lumiball is a relatively simple game. There are five players, each one correlating to one of the five goals on the playing field. A player who has the lumiball can only score in their designated goal. A scored goal is a single point. The game consists of ten separate ten minute rounds with a small break in between each round and a larger break after the 5th round. Ties are usually broken in what is called a duel, in which only two players play for the next goal.

The Lumiball
A major part of Lumiball is the ball itself. While the original ball (on display at the Lumiball Hall of Fame) was the carcass of a dead Slater Louse, modern Lumiball uses live Slater Louses as the ball. The creature is incredibly hearty and nearly indisputable. It spends much of its time curled around itself for protection and is known for its characteristic blue glowing carapace. Slater Louses are very fast and tricky. Half of Lumiball is trying to keep a hold of the ball and even when you have it, the Slater Louse is carnivorous and known to take a finger or two if they get the chance.
