WhirlyBall

Operating The WhirlyBug

The whirlybugs are steered by a joystick-like crank, while the player puts pressure on the foot pedal, located inside the vehicle.

 

Steering the vehicle in either direction will result in continuous circles. One complete turn back to your stomach with the joystick, while letting your foot off the pedal, will stop your whirlybug and put it in reverse.

 

One more full circle turn back to you stomach will put your whirlybug back into forward again.

Scoring/Passing

Each shot that is made is worth two points. To score, an individual must hit the electronic screen, located on a raised backboard, with a wiffleball, which sets off a buzzing alarm. If the alarm does not sound, you are not awarded any points.

Upon scoring, the ball is then turned over to the opposing team. Whirlyball strategy is similar to that of basketball and hockey, but a lot more fun to play! Your teams’ violations of the rules will result in awarding penalty points to the opposing team.

 

The penalty points are raised higher per time the same teammate violates a rule. Shooting and passing are fundamentally done the same; by keeping your scoop straight up and down (don’t bring the top of the scoop back) and not taking it to the side of your head. Line it up, follow through, and snap your wrist to almost guarantee a good shot. Remember it’s all about finese, not power.

Tips

  1. Leave a person back as goalie to protect your goal from a fast break.
  2. Keep a player down at the offensive end to recieve the first outlet pass on your fast break.
  3. Control your passes. Good passing will give you more shooting opportunities.
  4. Use a snap of the wrist to shoot the ball, not your whole arm. An easy shot will allow you a chance at the rebound and a second shot.
  5. Learning how to operate your whirlybug is the most important aspect of the game. Avoid oversteering, as it will slow you down. Always try to keep your whirlybug moving. Keeping the bug moving will keep your momentum going and get you where you want to go quicker.
  6. Lots of passing keeps the defense off balance and helps you work in for a closer shot. Don’t all chase the ball! Play as a team and you will win the game.
