A game that originated in Perkins
Green at the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2005 before the seasonal snowfall came and ruined everything.
It is played between two teams (2
people per team) at a distance of 10-20 yards on a flat field at
night. One team tosses a frisbee across the field to the other team. The other team returns the frisbee in good nature. The first requirement for game-play is one successful volley. After the first volley, any participant who comes in contact with the frisbee above the knee without successfully catching it is eliminated.
In a typical game of
night arrows:
- tosses accelerate in speed
- tosses that are thrown too far count for
nothing
- tosses that land
short are retrieved in a sprint and shot back at the serving team
- there is a 1 on 1 standoff left to decide which team wins
- silly shots are made that count for
nothing
- feelings are hurt (sometimes)
The game MUST be played at night. Typically, the game frisbee does not glow in the dark. The originators of this game were intoxicated for nearly every game.
1. In the game of
Night Arrows, the two
trick shots originally conceived by the game's masters are "Young H.O.V.A." and "Bombs Over Baghdad"
2. Chris: Yo, are we playing night arrows tonight?
Lee: Yes.
Chris: I'm glad we are going to play night arrows because I am hammered!
Lee: That's fantastic, I have a frisbee and a bubbler, now we need another team of two
people to play us and get schooled.
