Eduuqa Ssuejmthouga

A sport among the Ithklur, known idiomatically as the "Pick-Up Game".

Of all Ithklur sports, the Eduuqa Ssuejzathouga is possibly closest to a "national sport". It is an impromptu team ball game, and is popular both as a recreation and as exercise. There are few standard rules, and these are usually modified or dispensed with before the contest ends, since mid-game rule-amendments, disagreements, or brawls are a respected and traditional part of the game. A team (consisting of a variable number of Ithklur) issues a challenge to another group by running onto an open field and executing a series of dance-like movements. These signal which of the few standard rules will be used in the initial time period and how long the game will last.
