Overview

A high-octane hybrid of basketball, dodgeball, and acrobatics, played in the circular Z-Dome arena. Not the most-followed or record-holding sport in Kila Vas, but has cultivated an almost cult-like devoted fanbase — driven significantly by its most famous (and polarizing) player, Big Zoota.

The Arena

The Z-Dome's floor shifts dynamically between solid ground, springy trampoline zones, and brief zero-gravity bursts, divided into three zones: the Core Zone (raised central scoring platform), the Dynamic Ring (the shifting surrounding area), and the Safe Zone (outer recovery area — no scoring allowed from here).

Equipment & Objectives

The ball is a glowing orb called the Z-Opal, shot into randomly appearing/disappearing holographic target rings in the Core Zone.

  • Score Points: harder shots score higher
  • Style Bonus: judges award points for creative/dramatic flips, shots, and mid-air passes
  • Defend: players can stun opponents with dodgeball-sized "Z-Shards" to block a score or flashy move

Team Roles (5 players per side)

  1. The Shooter — primary scorer
  2. The Defender — shot-blocking, Z-Shard tagging
  3. The Acrobat — aerial style plays
  4. The Strategist — calls plays, positioning
  5. The Saboteur — legal interference wildcard (deflections, steals)

Games run 3 rounds of 10 minutes each, with short strategy breaks.
