For those of you scratching your heads, here's a link to the glossary.
In any case, this was a delightful exchange. Sorry it took me so long to put a proper capstone on it. (Oh, and if you're wondering, Weaver, I'm only marking it as a side story because of elements of the team composition. The sport itself is too beautifully logical yet nonsensical to not be canon.)
I think I understood less than Sunset but damn if that wasn't an interesting take on making new sports for a world with new magic.
I think it would be pretty awesome to get some explanation on the rules of the game though, unless it's rules are purposefully esoteric in some kind of Calvinball-esque way7600787
Whoops- that comment wasn't there when I was posting. Now I know!
7600787
Nah, I was planning on it being a sidestory anyway.
7600787
So, if I'm understanding this correctly, the title of the chapter basically boils down to "Applejack hit her own pegasus teammate who was tackled by another player into elimination with the ball"? Sounds like a right mess of a situation
Umm...do I need to read 'Oversaturation' to understand what's going on in this story and/or enjoy it?
7600876 I've read it. Trust me, it barely helps. Only thing you need to know is magic on earth is now a thing and Sunset's stupidly powerful.
7600876
You're not going to understand it even if you read Oversaturation. You'll probably enjoy it nonetheless.
7600876 In most cases maybe, in this case nope.
7600911
A Calvinball type sport, then? Should be fun.
7600958
Oh there are actual rules.
You should read the story before the rules though.
This needed to happen
(haven't read it yet, may update when done)I emphatically reiterate my previous statement. This. NEEDED. To happen
7601002
Having read it...
Amusing, but where are the rules?
7601051
I believe FomE left a link up in the first post.
'unicorn'? I thought this was EQG human til this point?
7601056
The Oversaturated World is an AU in which humanity, in order to avoid their world exploding, had to be granted the magic of Equestria to a minor degree. Unicorn is short for Unicorn Aspected Individual--somebody with a round gem in the middle of their forehead, pointed ears, and the ability to cast spells.
This is to Football what Blernsball is to Baseball in Futurama.
7601062 That would make the prequel necessary to get that, thanks for explaining it.
Crikey! This il must be a jolly little game, eh?
I SO need more oversaturated stories
this world is just that much wonderfully fun 
43-Man Squamish is a gentleman's sport. Portrzebie.
...
Um...
I'm going to go sit in the Nerd Corner.
This fic in a nutshell.
Neat, what positions does she play? We're looking for either a decent shallow brooder or Underblat.
...what the hell did I just read?
7600787
The glossary/rulespost notably lacks the that the flashfic had that one eliminates someone by hitting them with an (uncaught) ball as in dodgeball.
Someone needs to make this in virtual reality
Or a videogame! That would be awesome.

She'd be better as a Leaper or Back-up Fink.
7886515
I second that, what the hell did we just read?
My brain hurts now. In a good way. ...I think.
Awesome sport! Though, still only second for best sport ever created, it takes a LOT to beat out Griffball!
I can fully buy RD making her own sport, with unbelievably overly complex rules and systems, and yet all actually work somehow and are entertaining to watch, even when you have no idea what is going on. And hey, it might hurt your brain trying to keep it all straight, but at least Pinkie wasn't involved in making the rules.... you'd be better off just sticking to Calvinball at that point.
Yup, that sure is some sportsball they're playing.
