This game mode rewards organized team work. At the start of the game there are 3 buckets filled with balls along the center field line. Players are attempting to transport as many balls as possible to their teams scoring bucket.
Quick Reference Rules:
Infinite lives. 10 second respawn.
Players can only carry one ball at a time.
Balls can be thrown but a player must yell “Yeet!” each time.
Players who are tagged while transporting a ball must drop it and go respawn.
