Someball

Someball, commonly known by its previous name somebodyball, is a team sport and school yard game played with a spherical ball between two teams of seven players in which players on two teams try to throw balls and hit opponents, while avoiding being hit themselves. The game is played on a rectangular field called a pitch. The objective of each team is to eliminate all members of the opposing team by hitting them with thrown balls, catching a ball thrown by an opponent, or inducing an opponent to commit a violation, such as stepping outside the court.

Someball is played in accordance with a set of rules known as the Laws of the Game. The game is played using a spherical rubber, foam, cloth or beach ball of 68–70 cm circumference, known as the someball. Two teams of seven players each compete to eliminate all members of the opposing team by hitting them with thrown ball, thereby scoring a goal. The team that has scored more goals at the end of the game is the winner; if both teams have scored an equal number of goals then the game is a draw. Each team is led by a captain who has only one official responsibility as mandated by the Laws of the Game: to represent their team in the coin toss prior to kick-off.

Someball is governed internationally by the Somebodyball Association (SA; Dutch: Iemandbalbond), which plans to organise World Cups for both men and women every four years. Someball has drawn comparisons to dogeball and the Dutch schoolyard game iemand is hem, niemand is hem, although these claims are denied by the SA.

Variants of someball that weren't a team sport (Somebodyball C) or didn't apply points (Somebodyball N.C.) existed and were popular in the Kingdom of Mahuset, although only the current variant of someball (known at the time as Somebodyball E.C.) continues to have a significant player base.

Transgender individuals
Both male-to-female and female-to-male individuals are banned by official SA guidelines from participating in men's and women's leagues over concerns that transgender individuals, especially trans women, would outperform their cisgender counterparts due to their possibly more masculine body structure and historically higher testosterone levels.
