What do you think of Hackeysack? It seems to have all of the characteristics of the "no point anymore without a winner" but people still don't use their hands, they still socialize and have fun and have a (reasonable) thrill of doing well and the pain of messing up.

- jerf 10y agoI think that it doesn't have nationwide programs for every grade, with local tournaments running up to international tournaments, taught in school, and such a large part of our culture that we all know what a "soccer mom" is even as soccer still hasn't really taken over as our dominant national sport. Not everything has to be competitive. I mean, duh, right? But taking an activity that was designed to be competitive and then trying to strip out the competitive part isn't a good idea. Far better to start over again and design something not competitive from the get-go.
- ensignavenger 10y agoI've only played Hackeysack a few times, but it seems like 'losing' was equated to 'messing up' and 'winning' was equated to 'not messing up'. The victory conditions are different, and you and your team are playing against yourselves, but the concept of victory is still there.
