A History of Snipa!

History of the Sport

The "dark" team sets up for a round of Snipa!

Snipa! is a non-orgnized sport created by Kyle Kalish and Shaun Hixon. One day when all entertainment had faded Shaun picked up a whiffle ball and bat and began to play. With Kyle's help in the establishment of rules the game of Snipa! came into existence.

Setup

[[Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg<|thumb|right|200px|A ball, as used in the game of Snipa!]] Two players two sides. One light one dark. Snipa! is often played on a simple street. Using a marker to keep track of sides, two players of both sides prepare, a furious gleam in their eyes as they size up the opposing team. Players communicate to observers via hoots and whistles, and the game begins.

Equipment

The game of Snipa!, being a semi-organized sport, takes a holistic approach to equipment and gear. Generally, at a minimum, a whiffle ball and bat are required, but nearly any piece of equipment can be incorporated into the game, such as traps, bludgeoning devices, flails, vehicles, and armour.

Armour and modes for quick movement (such as horses) in this image can be key to the game of Snipa!

Positions

There are two positions a batter and a kicker.

Object of the Game

The object of the game is to make the whiffle ball stop on the opponents side. Obviously, with the opponent attempting to stop these efforts, this contest turns quickly into a pitched battle between the competitors. Unsportsmanlike moves such as biting, low blows, and punches to the vital areas are disallowed for the participants' safety.
