From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bumper Frizbee Horseshoes is a sport where two players standing opposite one another throw a Decapitron disc back and forth at each others Campbell's to reach at least 8 points first to win. Bumper Frizbee Horseshoes is a leisurely sport with a points system based on various ways to knock over or make contact with the opponents Campbell or by taking away their points by knocking over their front jug. The venue in which Bumper Frizbee Horseshoes is played is called a Killuseum.


History of Bumper Frizbee Horseshoes

[edit]

Bumper Frizbee Horseshoes was created is Sarnia Ontario in the summer of 2003. It was created by Gord Thompson and Jim Armstrong when one bet another they couldn't hit over a squeegee with a cardboard coffee tray. The sport soon evolved into having two 4 liter washer fluid jugs positioned around the front and back of the squeegee, later renamed a Campbell. The coffee tray was quickly modified by duct taping two trays together to become the official Bumper Frizbee Horseshoes disc, the Decapitron.

The name Decapitron came shortly after from the reputed deadly effects the disc has been known to possess while thrown by an inexperienced user or under extreme circumstances. The disc, despite a seemingly aerodynamic disadvantage, has been known to slice through necks and other exposed limbs and body parts, though no actual documented accounts have been found.

The game was originally played at a local gas station during the midnight shift the creators had worked and during the shifts of other players. In the early days, game play was often interrupted by players having to sell products or activate gas pumps.

In May 2009, London Ontario Canada became the host of the world's first full time Killuseum called Jimbabwe Killuseum. Located in the downtown core, Jimbabwe Killuseum will become the place of tournaments and the international stage to promote the sport.


BFHS Rules

[edit]

Each Campbell is placed 25'6" apart with a jug placed one Campbell heads length behind and one dipped forward length in front from the marked Campbell position. Players will stand in a marked in area behind the rear jug and throw the Decapitron back and forth at each others Campbell. First player to get at least 8 points wins the game.

1) Players must never step in front of their rear jug when throwing or grab the Decapitron, in flight or otherwise, before passing their rear jug. When the Decapitron passes the rear jug it is officially done its play.

2) The jugs are only to be readjusted when they have been knocked down or if the players decide to switch ends after one of the players has reached at least 4 points.

3) A Penalty Nad will be administered by those effected when it has been agreed a violation has taken place. The recipient of the decided Penalty Nad will have to take on the throw without cowering at risk of receiving a follow up throw. They may use their hands to block the direct blow to their areas of preference but cannot move from the throw or slap away the projected nad.

4) Players may move about during play but must always throw the Decapitron from the marked throwing area in order for the toss to be official.

5) The game is scored in an honour system in which the opponent must properly make decisions on the points scored if there are any discrepancies.

Classic 2 Pointer- knocking over the Campbell with no after contact (2 points).

Jug- when you knock down the opponents front jug you take 4 of their points whether they have them or not (-4 points).


Applying the Penalty Nad

1) If the Decapitron is thrown outside the play area behind their opponents play area, they will be subject to a throw from a fixed foot position.

2) If the Decapitron is thrown in a manner in which is abusive to its physical condition, they will be subject to a throw from a fixed foot position.

3) If the Decapitron is thrown exceedingly short of the expected area, they will be subject to a throw from a fixed foot position.

4) If a player interferes with the others game play or acts in an unsportsmanlike manner, they will be subject to a cricket style pitch.

5) If the recipient of a penalty nad cowers, deflects or does any other inappropriate action against their penalty, they will be subject to follow up penalty nad throws until they stop.

6) One may only use their hands to cover their preferred areas from a direct blow (ie. crotch, eyes, face) but can use nothing more than their hands and cannot use their hands for anything but cover, not for deflection.
