An improvised street weapon consisting of a billiard ball tied into the toe-end of a tube sock. The implement is swung, generally at high speeds, in such a fashion as to severely injure the victim.
Dude tried to snag my wallet, so I busted him upside the head with my trusty madball. Now he's whistling Dixie through the space where his front teeth used to be.
Also: Sean Penn used a variation of a madball in the classic 1983 prison flick "Bad Boys," where he puts a soda can in a pillow case and uses it to beat the shit out of Clancy Brown.

A highly violent game played by schoolchildren, where every player must try to catch and keep a ball away from all other players, in a free for all, no holes barred, mad chase to get the ball.
There are no rules other than to try to keep possesion of the ball, anything is permitted to get it - as a famous player once said: "You could KILL someone in madball!"
There are no set rules for determining the winner, though commonly whoever is holding the ball when the bell rings is considered the "winner".
Some critics of the game consider it little more than an excuse to have a rumble due to the lack of rules or clear victory conditions.
