INTRO:
================================================
Every 50 years or so, a new sport is created by like minded persons who crave a new way to compete.

1823: Association Football (Soccer)
1873: Tennis
1900: Baseball
1940: American Football
2009: DIRTY POOL!!

Dirty Pool is based on a sport played in an Elementary School in Houston Texas. In elementary school, picking up the soccer ball and running with it makes a lot of sense. The lack of rules, and the rush of doing what comes naturally is what was appealing about this game.

Dirty Pool is like:
Soccer with legal handballs.
American Football without stoppage at every play, a ton of rules to remember or time restrictions.
American Football and Rugby without the risk of massive injury from take down tackling.
Basketball with "Reaching In" encouraged, and similar ball passing.
Olympic Team Handball without a restriction of movement.
Rugby without restrictions on ball passing and no dangerous scrums.
Baseball's concept of "innings" and no play clock.
Lacrosse without sticks.

So - basically Dirty Pool takes the best of every great sport and creates a sport where human nature is foremost, and rules and timed interference is eliminated.

A Founders Council is forming for a club of this new sport in Alexandria, VA. People from all over DC, Fairfax, Alexandria, Arlington, and Southern Maryland are welcome. We will decide on dues, rules of the game, as we experiment with the draft rules.
