Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
New sports sprout up every so often, like Slamball or ComBATON. Rarely do they come around with the apparent marketing budget that accompanies Kronum.
So what the heck is Kronum? Imagine if soccer, basketball, handball, lacrosse, rugby and Battlestar Galactica sport Pyramid had a baby and that kinda/sorta gets you in the right area. Better yet, just watch this way-too-well-made video on the rules of the game and how to score:
Watching that video, I felt a little bit like I was watching the sports version of the SNL commercial for Taco Town. In fact, I think it's an extremely fair thing to say that Kronum is the 'SNL commercial for Taco Town' of sports.
The brainchild of Bill Gibson and is apparently available to be played in the Philadelphia area. Intrepid sports fanatics of the Greater Philadelphia Area, you have your marching orders.
Check out this video that shows off some more highlights of the game, including an extremely detailed option to customize your Kronum teams online in some kind of video game/real-life hybrid way. Don't try to understand Kronum, just be Kronum.

Too bad I'm not near Philly...
I kind of want to try playing this. I was never good at soccer, mainly due to massive amounts of red cards… cough
Now, "wait 'till next year" looks like "Watch out for next year!" GO LEAFS GO!
