Exactly! And you know if someone scores up close it's 2 points, if they score from behind the special line it's 3 points, and if they score on penalty shots it's 1 point.
Yes! The one with the oval ball and all the burly men. I still haven't figured that one out. Soccer is kinda the same as basketball. Ball goes in goal is generally time to cheer, depending on which team you are.
Soccer/football everywhere but the US - ball goes into net (goal), no using your hands unless you're the goalie AND inside the goal box.
Basketball - ball goes into basket (goal), hands only - and you can only move so far if you've got the ball, so you gotta shoot (put it in the basket), pass (give it to someone else) or dribble (bounce it on the floor and move)
ice hockey = soccer with sticks played on ice with skates, with lots of padding and a flat disk
field hockey = hockey, no skates, with a ball, different sticks.
lacrosse = the sticks have nets and you throw and sometimes catch the ball with them.
American football = oval ball, you carry or throw the ball, and have to get a certain distance down the field and not drop the ball for it to count, and the other team can jump on your team to stop them.
rugby = like american football but with less pads and some different rules I don't understand rugby ask Marius.
This is where I think hockey really differentiates itself from soccer. So many ways you can hit another player and some ways are okay but some aren't? It's just dumb.
There are no rematches. It's a bracket competition, not something that works on aggregates or a round robin or test matches the way football or cricket might work. And this is the championship tournament so when you lose, you're finished until next year. Sorry!
NCAA tournament - so a lot of US colleges play each other at basketball, single-elimination like the World Cup for soccer. Empire isn't it in because they're not Division 1 (schools with the best teams/most money in their sports programs/biggest schools I actually have no idea how they tell Div 1 from Div 2 and so on)
You should just make Adri play you at basketball and you can throw the ball to Saturn and win.
