Popular sport among modosophonts, especially those spending extended time in microgravity environments. Different leagues have been established for nearbaseline humans, augmented modos and space adapted clades, which have significantly different skill levels. This game is particularly popular among provolved chimpanzees and other apes.

In most leagues, two teams of 12 players compete in a microgravity arena, panelled with springy, cushioned tiles. The object of the game is to place a small ball in a target as many times as possible within four periods of 15-minutes each. Galactic championships of the sport are broadcast via Known Net link to participating worlds and systems which are members of the league, and to audiences across the Terragen Sphere.

Microgravity - Text by M. Alan Kazlev
A state in which gravity is reduced to virtually negligible levels. For example, when an object is in free fall, it experiences microgravity. It is deleterious to baseline physiology, but space-adapted tweaks can survive a microgravity environment indefinitely.
