I noticed it was missing what I thought was the only actual rule...You're not supposed to kick the opposing player in the nuts/va-jay-jay to gain a competitive advantage. I guess the two or three times I played as a kid, I was lied to and screwed out of a win...

interesting. this is how i always played tetherball (except by myself, not with tina majorino):


technically napoleon should be DQ'd because he double hit the ball

That's how I played, but I don't think anyone was aware of rules. Not sure how you even double hit if you're trying. That's one of the few games I was good at. Sending the ball over the opponent's head made a quick win.

I thought the point of tetherball was to try to hit your opponent in the face with the ball - captive dodgeball, another outlet for sadistic gym teachers.
