As every schoolboy knows, the game of Broadsides originated in the bedrooms of Eton. The inventor's name and the date of invention are both sadly lost to history, but school disciplinary records include references to the game as far back as 1820.
The term 'Eton Broadsides' refers to a particular set of rules for the game, which differ from the standard IFBP rules in that extra points may be scored by shots that hit specified parts of the court ('bedposts'). They are not widely played outside Eton (and a select few other English public schools) since they require a court built to exacting specifications.

His background in Eton Broadsides lets him approach shots from a completely different angle, making him a formidable opponent.

Get the Eton Broadsides mug.Upper Broadway is the upper portion of Broadway in New York City. Upper Broadway's boundaries are undefined, but in this day and age anything above 125th Street can be considered upper Broadway. This being the case, upper Broadway runs through West Harlem, Hamilton Heights, Washington Heights, Inwood, Marble Hill and into Riverdale where it becomes South Broadway in the City of Yonkers. The borderline for New York City is W.262nd Street. Broadway continues all the way up towards Albany under a guise of different routes, notably known as Route 9.
Some important intersections along upper Broadway are 125th, 145th, 155th, 168th, 175th, 181st, Dyckman, 207th, 225th, 231st and 242nd Street. Unlike lower Broadway, upper Broadway is way more "ethnic" New York passing through many different ethnic neighborhoods on its way up.
