History and Influences

Bank was first played on May 16, 2010, by members of Obscure Games Pittsburgh. It is influenced, oddly enough, by Roller Derby.

Equipment

One flying disc, cones for marking boundaries

Playing Space

The shape of the Bank field changes depending on the number of players; however, each field has a central "Bank" which no player may enter, surrounded by zones occupied by one player from each team. There is no back limit to the zones.

Number of Players

Two teams of 3, 4, 5, or 6 players each.

Gameplay and Rules

Players accumulate points by completing passes between their teammates. However, in order for the points to be counted, teams must "bank" their points by throwing the disc into the Bank at the center of the field. If a pass is dropped before points are banked, the points reset to zero. If a pass is intercepted by the opposing team, the opposing team steal all points that have been accumulated.
