*Splatterball History
Early records are vague, but Splatterball is thought to have originated some 140 seasons ago when two warring plasmoid factions decided to settle a long-standing grudge by trying to impale a living creature on a spear. It was so exhilerating [sic] that the casual ritual turned into an annual contest. It grew in popularity until formal rules were drawn up in the Year of our Org 6,37 [sic] by Scarsoon, the High Gorelord of the Org of Plasm. Betting by players, coaches and fans was introduced 50 years ago (winners gain Plasm, losing can cost an arm and a leg), Mulching the losing side in a championship game became a rule in the Year of our Org 8,234. *Source: Back of card
