rockonball

Rockonball is a fictional sport created for worldbuilding and entertainment media, described as a team ball game that blends passing, kicking, and strategic positioning. In most depictions, two teams compete on a rectangular court, facing a central obstacle known as the Rock, which acts as a dynamic element players must navigate during play.

Gameplay centers on advancing the ball from one end of the court to the other and into the opponent’s goal. Teams typically field five players, with matches divided into halves or quarters depending on the depiction. Players may pass, dribble, or shoot the ball under a set of rules that restrict excessive contact and define fouls. The Rock serves as a movable obstacle: teams can reposition it within prescribed zones to open space or create scoring opportunities, while guards or referees enforce the allowable interactions with the Rock.

Equipment and venue involve a standard-sized ball (often described as a size-5 ball), clearly marked boundaries, and two goal nets at opposite ends. The Rock is a centerpiece object placed at midfield on a pedestal or raised platform. Teams wear contrasting uniforms, and matches are overseen by referees with substitutions allowed between periods or during stoppages.

Scoring awards points for successful goals into the opponent’s net. Additional subtle strategies may reward controlling the Rock and forcing turnovers, though exact scoring schemes vary by version. Variants exist for indoor and outdoor play, with rule sets sometimes adapted to smaller spaces or lighter equipment. Rockonball has a minor but persistent presence in fan-made leagues and online tutorials within its fictional ecosystem.
