Needs more focus | |
| Apr 19, 2017 at 9:57 | comment | added | JeopardyTempest | Looks like soccer also has experiments with multiple balls. Two balls are often used in drills, and some coed games use three balls. They each sound popular in spots, but haven't gained a large enough following for any significant international competitions that I'm aware of. Though honestly, they don't sound quite as neat as three sided football | |
| Apr 19, 2017 at 9:55 | comment | added | JeopardyTempest | I've also played wallball and foursquare with multiple balls, but cannot find anything with much competition to those formats. | |
| Apr 19, 2017 at 9:50 | comment | added | JeopardyTempest | In a world where board games advanced a ton in the past decade or two, from Ticket To Ride style games (where the aim is different each game) to Catan games (where the layout itself can be different each game) and then to Risk Legacy, which looks interesting in that the results of every game adjust the rules for all future games... it's disappointing there aren't more dynamic, active sports showing up. A game where multiple opponents put balls into play coincidentally could be a top notch game. But only dodgeball seems to do this. Wonder if this question has touched upon a future era to come. | |

| Apr 18, 2017 at 18:11 | comment | added | alamoot | @PhilipKendall I don't see a problem since this is a list of finite set. We can make a community answer of all responses. See sports.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/548/… | |
| Apr 18, 2017 at 18:05 | comment | added | alamoot | @Ale I have. Some are regional, and I don't count some as sports. And most use only 1 ball | |

| Apr 18, 2017 at 8:08 | comment | added | Ale | I can suggest you to take alook at this list of ball games. You can discover very rare (and not so rare) sports played around the world | |

| Apr 18, 2017 at 5:06 | comment | added | CodeNewbie | Also, this fits well. Most sports require one ball. Wrestling requires two. | |

| Apr 17, 2017 at 22:14 | comment | added | alamoot | I edited the question to specifically mention rotation of balls doesn't count. You can use the same argument that multiple balls are used to play tennis, volleyball, soccer, football ... | |

added more clarification

| Apr 17, 2017 at 22:00 | comment | added | alamoot | I'm gonna say no. As the question mentions, there should be multiple balls taking part of the game at the same time. Bowling is rather a rotation of balls | |
| Apr 17, 2017 at 21:58 | comment | added | New-To-IT | Would bowling count? Pro bowlers generally use 2-3 balls a game, even more for some guys, depending on the lane conditions. | |
