7-Day Favorite "This and That" Challenge: Day 6 - My Favorite Game - Beach Racket Official - Check it out!

in #favouritethisandthat7 years ago (edited)

Hello Steemit!

Here we are on Day 6 of the #favouritethisandthat challenge which was @tkappa 's idea and which I really enjoy being a part of. And today's subject is all about my favorite game. Well it is a sport game which is really widespread here in Greece but you people might not be familiar with. It is called Beach Racket.

No no...trust me, it is not what you might have in mind. It is actually an official sport funded by the tennis association.
I am a fanatic of this game (and a good player also :-) ) and we are trying to make it attractive so more and more people will join us. Just like Steemit

Here is a sample

And another

and another

Well practically it is a team game. You and your partner(s) are no opponents like in tennis. So if it is a double game, you and your partner have 10 minutes to collect as many points as you can.

How do I collect points?

Well there is a speed trap that measures the speed of the ball. And it is only activated if the ball has speed > 65 km
So at 65 km the team gets a point, at 66 it gets 1.02 points, at 70 you get 1.2 points, at 80 you get 1.5 points and so on.
So the higher the speed the more points you get.BUT every time you drop the ball you lose 2 points.
Eventually the team with the most points wins.
Same goes for the four play team.Exact same parameters, the only difference is time, which is 20 minutes.

It may seems easy; But trust me...to play at that level as on the videos above you need to train day and night.
It is so intense during the games were you literally, need more oxygen.

Well guys...if you liked what you just watched help me out to spread the word!
