		Slamball allows full body contact, so players can push, hit and block their opponents to prevent them from taking the ball to the rack.
		This means a game of slamball will feature plenty of mid-air collisions and lots of slam dunking wannabees falling on their butt.
		Slamball is cool and all but I would like it better if there was a kids style of it too.

		SlamBall is played 4 on 4 on a full court.
		So in a basic sense, SlamBall is a combination of mainly basketball with the contact rules from both hockey and football.
		Not only does this create an awesome playing atmosphere, but the pace of the game is very fast and similar to that of a video game.

	SlamBall: trampoline-enhanced basketball at its best. By Robert Weintraub (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		SlamBall fits right in with the Baywatch reruns and Robot Wars episodes that litter the new TNN lineup—it's clearly trying to lure the PlayStation crowd.
		The slamballers like to call it the first team extreme sport, but this is an oxymoron—kids get into skating and snowboarding because they dislike the structure and reliance on others of team sports.
		At one point during SlamBall's obligatory slam-dunk contest, Parnell screamed about one contestant, "What, does he got nothing else to do at home but dream up stuff like this?" Fortunately, for the creators of this basketball-meets-Australian-rules-football-meets-Cirque de Soleil gumbo, the answer was no. TNN is helpfully re-airing the entire season of SlamBall, beginning Sept. 14.

		Slamball was more than an exercise in cool being dictated from a boardroom, which is what its commercials and concept made it look to be.
		While his abilities as a Slamball coach are untested, he will bring an air of celebrity and respectability to the sport.
		The game will still be taped, which gives the impression that Slamball has more in common with the failed and staged Roller Jam or WWE than a real sport.

	Editorial
		A derivative of basketball, SlamBall combines the excitement of hoops with the physical components of hockey — and there are plenty of trampolines.
		SlamBall’s audience consists primarily of men, ages 18 through 49, indicating that the new sport may not be for everyone.
		A SlamBall court is 94 feet long and 55 feet wide.

		The arena is encased in plastic walls, just like hockey, because slamball is full-contact, and as such the players wear helmets and knee and elbow pads.
		You have to love the eager commentators, though, who -- not unlike the lads who call wrestling matches -- deadpan everything with the enthusiasm of one who believes he is watching the NBA Playoffs and the excitement is almost, almost, about to be his bladder’s undoing.
		But slamball wouldn’t be the majestic spectacle it is without my favorite part: the Least Valuable Player award.

		It is one thing to stop a guy one on one, but when one guy lures you into the tramp on a possible dunk attempt and then tosses the alley, youre dead.
		At this point Slamball is still new enough that I would have to put my uniform on and walk down the street for anybody to recognize me. And even at that point most would just think I'm outta my mind than ask for an autograph.

		El pasado verano, la cadena de televisión por cable TNN impulsó en Estados Unidos la primera Liga de “slamball”, una mezcla de baloncesto y fútbol americano que causó sensación desde su primer día en antena.
		Fruto de ese convencimiento, se construyó en Los Ángeles la primera pista de “slamball”.
		Protegidos con coderas, rodilleras y casco, los choques entre jugadores eran tan espectaculares como peligrosos para disfrute de un público que sigue viendo en el “slamball” lo más parecido a un videojuego de carne y hueso.

		I dont know how well the full slamball rules would translate to the map, but there was a suggestion of getting some coding to change the points.
		I think it might be neat to have basketball-style points perhaps, so you can get a bonus for shooting a 3 pointer from the other end of the court.
