You say you have never played whirlyball?  Well, neither had we.<\/p>\n<p>Whirlyball starts with those plastic scoops you played with as a kid.  You know, the ones where you would scoop up a ball and fling it at someone.  They would try and catch it with their scoop and fling it back at you.  OK, now add a court and basketball-style goals.  Now put everyone in bumper cars.  <b>That<\/b> is Whirlyball.<\/p>\n<p>If you didn&#8217;t make it out, you missed quite an event.  Everyone had a blast, and we played with the abandon of those who have no idea what they are doing and know they look silly, but don&#8217;t care because, well, everyone else looked silly too.<br
