Front Office Tchoukball
Now we know what Jim is working on:
http://www.tchoukball.us/thegame.html Tchoukball (pronounced “CHUKE-ball”) is a team sport invented by the Swiss biologist Dr. Hermann Brandt. Over the space of three decades, Dr. Brandt combined elements of several sports, including team handball and jai alai, with his philosophies of teamwork, mutual respect, and nonaggression. He presented this new sport to the public in 1970, when it was awarded the Phulin Prize by the International Federation on Physical Education (FIEP). Tchoukball received immediate international recognition. I'm surprised Dr. Brandt didn't win the Phulin Around Prize.

I knew about Tchoukball when I started doing research when I created toccer. I found SOOO many random sports that exist out there. Which is sooo weird. This game just seems boring to me, though. Floorball is interesting, and would be cool for the non-checking hockey fan set. Scuffleball is a sport that some guy created, that's getting its way off the ground. Or my personal favourite, 21st Century Sports Foundation Sepak Takraw or kick volleyball. Sepak Takraw (Kick Volleyball), or Takraw for short, is one of the fastest growing and most popular sports in Asia. It is a cross between soccer and volleyball, played in a doubles badminton court, as three players on each side of a 5-foot high net get three chances to kick, knee, shoulder or head a hand-woven ball back to the opposing team. Like in Volleyball there are passes, sets and spikes - but all without the use of hands or arms! hehe..
