Running? What are you, crazy? They could collide with another player or trip and fall. Get running out of the sport.

Not only get rid of running and jumping, get rid of the ball. That should stop a lot of the problems.

Maybe we could play it like a board game. You get a bunch of players on each side of the board, some taller than others, some quicker than others, and some more versatile than others.

Not sure what to call it, though.
