Introduction: Shitbag Rounders
About: I'm a young guy who lives at home, in sunny Cornwall, 5 minutes walk from Porthtowan beach. I collect drift wood and rope from the beach occasionally and try to make stuff, I've taken to making coil baskets fr…
shitbag rounders is the improvised game for the bored people!
all you need is:
-something to use as a bat, (ive even used a music stand before)
-something to use as a ball (don't use rocks, they hurt)
-some stuff to run around (if its too far for the distance you can hit to get all the way around, make it so you only have to run to a certain point.)
-other players
an umpire, preferably someone who isn't bias and has a good memory of the agreed rules

Step 1: How to Play
ok, you need three players and an umpire at the least, you can play without the umpire and it tends to go a bit out of control. one player bowles, one player is backstop, and the other bats, its better if you have more, who then would field.
you take it in turns to swap positions in an agreed order, so everyone plays everything. theres no teams, its every player for him/herself. the player who scores the most runs wins. of course the players can be caught out or can be got out if the backstop can tap the improvised ball five times in a row on the spot you hit from before you get around whatever it is your running around of course the backstop has to say out the number out loud with every tap. in normal rounders you couldn't be gotten out in this kinda way if you got to a base, like in base ball, but this has no bases, its all the way around or nothing. i advise the umpire to record the scores on a sheet of paper or something to avoid cheating. also remember, the umpire isn't a player, so doesn't change position. and have the bowler stand about 7 to 10 feet away from the batter.
enjoy the game, its fun when your bored, and active :)
