Matball

**Object:** The object of Matball is similar to kickball in which there are two opposing [|teams], each trying to score by kicking the ball and then running the [|bases] (represented by mats) successfully. The team with the most runs scored is the declared the winner.

**Rules**
 * The game is played near identically to kickball in which one team is "batting" (despite the lack of bats) and the other team is "fielding".
 * A ball is put in play by kicking the ball into the field of play. That player must then run to first base.
 * In matball, there is no limit as to how many players can be on a base at the same time. This allows for players to "load" and run as a pack to decrease the likelihood of getting out.
 * After three outs the batting team and the fielding team switch.
 * A kicked ball which hits the ceiling is an automatic out. Also, a ball kicked behind Home Plate is foul.
 * Hitting the scoreboard with a kicked ball and having it drop without someone catching it will result in a home run. Traditionally, if a player kicks the ball into a basketball hoop opposite Home Plate, it is an automatic home run, regardless of whether or not the ball is caught on the way to the ground.
 * Outs in matball occur when: the pop-fly is caught, the ball beats the runner to first base on the initial kick, a runner is touched by the ball while not on base, or runners do not tag-up after a pop-fly is caught.
 * Reaching Home Plate safely scores a run.
 * When a player steps a foot off one mat, that player must advance to the next mat.
