The document proposes a new indoor sport called "Crazy Balling" that uses pots and scoops as household items. The game involves using a scoop to move a bouncing ball between pots located in different rooms of a house. It has singles and doubles modes and rules around valid starts, scoring, fouls, and prohibited actions. The game is intended to be fun and get players sweating through competitive play for at least 5 minutes using everyday household objects.
