Preparing for Buckball involves simple and trainable physical attributes, similar to team sports like Association Football and Volleyball. Speed, jumping ability, and cardio fitness are key. However, Buckball World Project is committed to collaborating with interested members to develop a physical training guide tailored specifically for players. This will help players enhance their performance and enjoyment of the game.
Our rulebook provides detailed information on setting up a Buckball field. All you need is a flat area, two baskets or hoops, and two posts. The simplicity of the setup showcases the accessibility of Buckball. Additionally, alternative rules are available that require even fewer materials, demonstrating that you can enjoy Buckball with just a ball and some open space.
As the project expands, more individuals will become interested, increasing the likelihood of finding like-minded enthusiasts in your locality. Once you've gathered a suitable number of interested individuals, registering your team is a straightforward process. Connecting through our forum, social media, or community gatherings will be key in forming teams and finding fellow players.
We can draw inspiration from real-world examples such as Quidditch and Jugger, which originated as fictional activities but successfully adapted into our world. Even these sports, with more fantastical elements than Buckball, have found international recognition. Additionally, considering the extensive global presence of the brony fandom, which has already achieved remarkable worldwide impact, we have the confidence and determination to bring Buckball to a global stage.
Professionalizing a sport involves players earning economic profits from participation, sustaining a livelihood. However, as a recent and non-profit project, this objective is unfeasible in the near future. The true goal of Buckball World Project is to provide an opportunity for thousands to enjoy an activity that serves as a symbol of unity, friendship, and a source of pride for My Little Pony fans.
While the project primarily caters to bronies, we also welcome anyone outside the community who shows interest. To garner broader attention, bronies interested in Buckball should organize and present this new sport, whether through online platforms or real-life demonstrations.
Having a website enhances any project's visibility and credibility, while a forum provides a structured platform for activity tracking, data retention, organized discussions, and showcasing project progress. However, we are open to expanding our presence on various social media platforms like Twitter and Discord as the project grows.
It's difficult to pinpoint exactly when significant rule changes will occur, as it depends on people testing rules to see what works and what doesn't. While this may sound daunting, the reality is that many current sports, with centuries of history, continue updating their rules to discover changes that enhance the gameplay experience.
All we need are people who want to contribute by providing opinions and testing the game. The easiest way to get involved with the Buckball World Project team is by participating in the forum, where anyone can join.
