abstract	Throwball is an adaptation of the international sport of volleyball. When word of the sport arrived in India, the locals mistook the "carry," which classically was a rule violation requiring the concession of a point, interpreting it instead as a vital game strategy. In throwball, this misunderstanding has been formalized as a requirement. Each "volley," in the throwball dialect of volleyball, involves a complete catching of the ball. This must be done flat-footed and the catcher must go on to throw the ball back within three seconds, a move that is whistled dead throughout the civilized world. Critics call throwball a blemish on the sport, as though India had set out to play American football and had instead invented Horse-collar-tackle Ball or Intentional-grounding Ball.
