Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
"Helloooooooooo sports fans! Welcome to the first Criffleball tournament! I'm Spot On."
"And I'm Smooth Voice. Well, seems like we've got quite the line up here, don't we Spot?"
"Indeedily do. Not only do we have the Canterlot Cardinels, the original inventors of Criffleball, we also have their rivals, the Crystal Catfighters, and fourteen other teams from across the country."
"The Cardinals and the Catfighters have agreed to start at opposite ends of the brackets, for sake of fairness, and--ah, here come the Cardinel's first opponents, the Appleoosa Apricots."
"I can't begin to tell you how much of a challenge the Apricots are going to face, they've always run a solo-caster lineup and that will make it near impossible to counter Rainbow Dash's excellent sweep-play. Still, they're a strong team overall."
"The players are moving into position. Hold on. That's new."
"Indeed. The Apricots have abandoned their usual seige-form for a spread out. No idea what they're thinking."
"Could be aiming to rush. And there's the whistle! They're off!"
This should've gone up last week. My bad.
In any case, Masterweaver describes Criffleball as "a combination of dodgeball, tug of war, and rugby played in three dimensions with magic thrown in." Rules and terminology can be found here. I'm sure the video games are already in development in the Oversaturated World.

This sounds like a sport I would actually watch
Would a varsity Calvinball player make a smooth transition to Criffleball?
7421403
Seconded. This sport sounds fascinating.
It does help that it sounds more like an irl RTS than a traditional sport.

Calvinball was the first thing I thought about when I read the title, too.
But if they were playing that, Pinkie would be far more dangerous yet than Rainbow Dash.
7421522 I wouldn't be too surprised to find that Pinkie has been banned from official tournaments just to give others a ghost of a chance to win...
7421522 And Discord, of course, would be head coach.

Nuh-uh, it was an odd-numbered Tuesday and Pinkie was on a boomerang field. Now the referee is banned from the game.
Okay, fine, I'll make a set of rules.
I'm game to hear more
I guess I'm the only Red vs. Blue fan here

"I want you all to get out there and bullshit like you've never bullshat before!"

Honestly, I like the idea of leaving the mechanics of the game to the reader's imagination. Still, your idea, your prerogative.

Rules are up.
7423995 Is there/will there be a rule to cover accidental Wrapping by a Caster, caused by another player ricocheting the Caster's intended unenchanted target ball out of the way with an enchanted one? (A tangent on the topic of Obvious Rule Patches: TVTropes mentions that in chess, castling vertically is disallowed.)
OH GOD, NO!!
Please don't let them make video games on a magical sport! It simply doesn't work!
Yes, I can happily say that I HATE SPORTS GAMES.
Except for racing games; those are actually fun.
7577663 For most of us here, castling is moving the king two squares to the player's rook on the first rank, and moving the rook to the square the king jumped over. This can be done with either rook.
