Ha ha ha.... No worries, WrongWay... we can teach you how to play:

Starting
Each quarter is started with the teams lined up on opposite goal lines. On a signal (whistle) from the referee, the teams sprint toward center pool for the ball. The ball is placed in a “pull start”, a ring that holds the ball. The pull start is lowered once the sprinters approach. The team gaining possession of the ball advances it toward its offensive end of the pool by swimming, dribbling or passing the ball.

Fouls
There are two types of fouls in water polo. Ordinary fouls account for approximately 80% of the whistles during the game and personal faults (or major fouls). Major fouls include exclusion and penalty fouls.

Ordinary fouls include:

Touching the ball with two hands

Taking the ball under water when tackled

Impeding an opponent who is not holding the ball

Pushing off of an opponent; and, stalling (failing to shoot or advance the ball within 35 seconds).

When the referee calls an ordinary foul, the offended team is awarded a free throw at the point of the foul. The offended team must put the ball in play without delay by releasing, swimming or passing the ball.

Exclusion fouls include:

kicking or striking

deliberate splashing in the face

an ordinary foul committed by the defense during dead time

interfering with a free throw

misconduct or disrespect to the referee

holding, sinking or pullin back an opponent not holding the ball.

Exclusion fouls may result in a player being excluded for 20 seconds. The excluded player (or his substitute) may not return until the 20 second exclusion time expires, a goal is scored or a change of possession takes place, which ever period is shortest. A player receiving three major fouls is removed from the game with substitution. Deliberate kicking or striking with intent to harm an opponent (brutality) results in ejection of the offending player for the remainder of the game, without substitution.

Time Clocks
As in basketball, two clocks are used to time a water polo game. One indicates the time remaining in the quarter, and the other, called the shot clock or thirty-five second clock, indicates how much time remains for the offensive team to shoot the ball (the team is allowed 35).

How did you make the age requirements?



Huh, that's a good point. They never mentioned that to me. See, I called and they told me specifically that the only requirement I didn't meet was that I didn't play water polo, then the lady gave me this link. Maybe the age was just a guideline and not a rule? :S

Who really gives a $hit about water polo?!?

There are faster sports, more interesting sports, more fun sports. What make that so special?

Oh, and FYI, the lifeguards beat the ever living crap out of the water polo team. After full shifts. Without practice. After drinking. Heavily. B|

I must say I was pleasantly suprised by King of the Jungle. A reality show for a reality show. It was entertaining, didn't have any of those stupid three minute pauses, and the people were intelligent. (disclaimer, I found it by accident on APL, I don't do reality tv)

OTOH, oxymoron: yes
bunch of morons: yes
waste of brainpower: reason I don' do reality tv :P
