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.
