Nutsac

From CTYIwiki

Nutsac (no ks) is a game traditionally played with a sac in the stone circle outside of the canteen. It was co-invented by Fiachra many years ago and first introduced into CTYI as an activity in 2007. The game is often played by TA's just before the last disco.

Rules

When the sac is on the ground you can move.
You cannot move your feet when the sac is held or in the air, however you can move the rest of your body.
The sac may only be thrown under-arm.
No mercy.

2010 "Cadoozle" Review

Written by Peter Hanrahan
Nutsac, to the uninitiated, is a game that has been played by CTYI students since the dawn of time. It involves a juggling ball or similarly-dimensioned object (the “Nutsac”) being thrown by players at other players to hit them and knock them out until only the victor remains.
Sounds simple, eh? That’s before you factor in the two rules the game has:
1. No overarm throwing
2. Once someone has picked up the Nutsac, no-one is allowed to move their feet.

This makes dodging the Nutsac very difficult. The game has the potential to be a source of great fun for all who join the game, and so it was for many years. However, in recent times, it seems that players are creating impromptu “gangs” so that they have an advantage over individuals. This makes it near-impossible for individuals to come close to winning, as anyone doing remotely well is singled out and eliminated, until only “gangmembers” remain. So is the DCU campus turning into the new Sicily? Are gangs such as the “Wolf Pack” going to start demanding protection money? Will the Nutsac soon become known as “my leetle friend?” Only time will tell I’m afraid.
