Troperball is literally scored by broken bones and head trauma.
** Troperball is a variant of golf in which players attempt to hit each other with golf balls and the loser is fed to the lions. The commentators and audience are just as quiet and reserved as in normal golf.
* '''Zig Zagged''': ???Troperball players toss around a large cotton ball...which promptly explodes. The explosion is required to only happen far from the players where no one is injured from the explosion itself...but the explosion frees a monster trapped inside the ball that both teams now have to fight or die trying.

* '''Deconstructed''':
** So many players are killed or injured to where they cannot fully recover that the league runs out of people willing to play, resulting in the demise of Troperball.
** The National Troperball League gets hit with a massive class-action lawsuit from the athletes regarding unsafe work conditions. They win the case, and Troperball's rate of injury and death is reduced down to any other popular sport.
