Drum Flipping
This sport may seem like a simple task, yet it has a large impact on the human body. It is called drum flipping. The rules are simple. A team compiled of 5-6 people, versus another team of the same amount. This sport is played on a beach or in a sand pit particularly because it is harder to run and keep your balance than it would be on gravel or asphalt. Each team will have a total of six large snare drums in the middle of a twenty yard boundary. There will be one referee per boundary with the team’s color flag in order to determine which drum is flipped. Two team members, from each team, will line up at the start and proceed on the whistle. Each drum will start
Drum flipping will have both a major league and a minor league and each will consist of eight teams with three leagues in each division. Before the league's can develop, there must be decisions to be made. First, the format and how the league will be scheduled to determine the ultimate champion at the end of the season. Drum flipping will have each team play each other two times but separated into a half season. The top three teams at the end will advance to play the other top three teams in a separate league. The scheduling of the games will be determined by a bracket and it is single elimination. The next decision that has to be made is the hierarchy and the relationship that the minor leagues and major leagues have with one another. After each season, each league, major and minor, will be assessed. A team in the minor league can be promoted to the major leagues, but it could take at least a decade. Drum flipping will be under a permanent fixed membership and can only change cities or location through team expansion. Lastly, there needs to be a system to decide and enforce the league rules and policies. For drum flipping, there will be a similar association to the NCAA in order to maintain the guidelines and rules of the
This way, more teams can be involved in making the sport become more of a competitive atmosphere. If you grow up playing a sport, you are more likely to continue playing that sport at a higher level in the future. If the sport would develop more, the tournaments would get more and more teams involved and people will create clubs for the sport. The youth is a large part of any sport because that is who the next generation of athletes. Youth tournaments are also a good way to scout out the best athletes in the sports which would help make college teams more fun to watch and have their teams be better. It takes a lot to get a new sport into a college but I think the coolest part about this sport is that it is gender inclusive and no college sport has that aspect. All colleges must have the same number of female sports as men’s. With this sport it can be counted as both. The best way this sport can be profitable is doing a similar tournament to March Madness. To make this slightly different though, we would have the tournament be at the professional level rather than the collegiate level. By doing this tournament, it will increase the number of viewers and merchandise being sold. The more people will watch and support a team, they will be more inclined to be a fan of the game for a longer period of time. It is important that this sport should be
