Tchoukball World Championship
A group A men's Tchoukball match between Taiwan (red) and Brasil (blue) going on when we first stopped by the area. Last year they had volleyball in this temporary statdium.
Tchouckball is a game played on a smallish field with two square nets set at each end of the field. The nests are small, square, and tightly strung. To score you bounce the ball off the net and have it land inbounds without the other team catching it. Either team can score at either end of the field. There is semicircular region around each net that forbidden (though you can land inside it after throwing the ball). Players are not allowed to touch each other in a significant way and you can't run with the ball. The general strategy is to get near the net with the ball by leaping into the semicircle. Often a succession of people leap into the circle from alternating sides and the ball is passed off before one tries to score (to throw off the defense).
