This is my first post on this blog of mine for Creative Writing! This post will be covering the first task we’ve been given, which is to create a sport out of at least four of these objects; a roll of duct tape, two tennis rackets, a wiffle ball, a spool of string, a stack of plastic cups, and a bag of balloons.

Using the roll of duct tape, the two tennis rackets, the wiffle ball, the spool of string, and the stack of plastic cups, I created the sport Cup Ball. The sport will be set up by a long line of string separating two sides of the court. Both sides will have a table set up. Both will be coated in duct tape, and five cups will be placed face up on the duct tape. There are four players, two on each team. One player will hold a tennis racket, trying to defend the cups from the other player who throws the wiffle ball, trying to get it into one of the cups. If the one with the tennis racket blocks the ball and it gets sent back to the other side, they get to try again, but if they block it and it doesn’t make it back to the other side, or it isn’t blocked but it gets stuck on the tape or doesn’t make it to the table, it is their turn. The goal of the game is to get all of the other teams cups flipped over, to do this, you try to get the wiffle ball into the cups. If a wiffle ball gets into one of the cups, that cup must get flipped over and the wiffle ball needs to be handed back over to the other side. Once all the cups are flipped over though, the other team is still in, and if the ball gets into one of the other teams cups, all of their cups get flipped back over. However, if the ball gets stuck on the tape, the game is over and the other team wins.
