What are the six rules for Brockian Ultra Cricket?  

[Tinnumir]

1) Grow at least 3 extra legs. You won't need them, but it keeps the crowds amused.
2)Find one extremely good Brockian Ultra Cricket player. Clone him off a few times. This saves an enormous amount of tedious selection and training.
3)Put your team an dthe opposing team in a large field and build a high wall around them. A crowd that has just watched a boring game experiences far less life affirmation than a crowd that believes it has just missed the most dramatic event in sporting history.
4)Throw lots of assorted items of sporting equipment over the wall for the players. Anything will do-- Cricket bats, basecube bats, tennis racquets, skis, anything you can get a good swing with.
5)The players should now lay about themselves for all they are worth with whatever they find to hand. Whenever a player scores a "hit" on another player, he should immediately run away as fast as he can and apologize from a safe distance. Apologies should be concise, sincere and, for maximum clarity and points, delivered through a megaphone.
6)The winning team shall be the first team that wins.
