Ten most dangerous sports

1. Boxing

 You can not hit below the belt, hold, trip, or spit on your opponent. You can not hit your opponent with your head, elbow, forearm, or shoulder. You can never hit your opponent while holding onto the ropes. When the referee breaks you from a clinch, take a full step back then you can start again if you start beforehand, that is illegal.

2. Bull-riding

 A qualifying amount of seconds to enter is 8 seconds. The timer stops when the rider lets go of the rope, touches the ground, or the freehand hits the bull. Four judges rate the rider and bull on a scale of one to twenty-five.

3. Rugby

 There are two forty-minute halves and a ten minute break time in between. Players that have left the field can only return if they were treated for an injury. The defending team must tackle the player w/ the ball by grabbing them below the waist and pulling them to the ground.

4. Soccer (Football)

 Soccer is made up of two forty-five minute halves. The field is made up of fake or real grass. A soccer game must have one referee and two assistant referees. Both teams can have seven substitution players but only three of them can be used per game per side. Both teams are allowed 7 people on the field at a time. The team that makes the ball into the other team’s goal gets points, the team with the most points wins the game at the end. If the game is tied after the 90 minutes, then another 30 minutes will be given, if it is still tied after the extra 30 minutes, then an extra 15 minutes will be added every time until they aren’t tied anymore. 

5. Basketball

 Each team can have five players on the field at any time. Substitutions are made as they wish, as many times as they wish. The ball can only be moved by dribbling or passing the ball. If the ball goes to the other side and the other side gets the ball, they have to take it back to the halfway line, if they fail to do so, it’s a foul, and it gets turned over to the other team. The team trying to make a goal is called the offense team, while the team trying to stop them is called the defense team. After a successful shot is made, the ball will be turned over to the other team

6. Lacrosse

 Lacrosse is played on a 110 by 60-yard field. The game is split into four different twenty-minute games. Ten players on a field per team, three attackers, three middles, three defenders, and one goalie. There is a maximum of four long poles on the field at a time.

7. Ice-hockey

 Players can use physical force to get the puck from their opponent. A major penalty will result in a player being removed from the ice. A game starts when the referee drops the puck in the middle. A game begins with a face-off.

8. Basketball

 Baseball has two teams of nine. The field team is made up of a pitcher, first baseman, second baseman, shortstop, third baseman, catcher, and three outfielders. Once the batting order is picked, then it can not change, but if there is a substitute, then they will be in the spot the player they took over for was in. a batter gets three strikes before they are out.

9. Downhill Mountain Biking

 Ride on open trails, don’t make your own, don’t trespass onto private property, don’t ride on land protected as state or federal wilderness. Control your bike, always ride within your limits, obey speed regulations. Leaving no trace, don’t cut switchbacks, Pack out at least as much as you pack in, muddy trails are vulnerable to damage.

10. Jousting

 So this may not be what you think but, the way to win is not to knock your opponent off their horse but to get more points than your opponent. Ways to get points: 1. Shattering lance tip 2: breaking lance tip-off in One piece or 3: opposite lance makes contact with your body shield but doesn’t break. Lance has to be Ten feet tall. Lance must have a tip, middle, and base. Lance tip has to be at least twenty-four inches and a maximum of forty-eight inches. The armour is helm (helmet) body (torso and chest) gorget (according to heavy weapons regulation) hand (protected by a shield, gauntlet, or equivalent (lance or vamplate)) leg, arm, and shoulder protection (not required). The shield must be made up of rigid non-brittle materials (most commonly used is ½ inch plywood). The shield must have 300 square inches for a big target for the opponent. The shield must be strapped in a way so the rider has control of their equipment and mount at all times.
