Kitchen Appliance Ball, the fastest growing game in Appley Bridge is now calling YOU! Do you want to be one of the many who are partaking in this spectacular and graceful event? It's time to heed your call and head to the Kitchen to begin you game of KITCHEN APPLIANCE BALL

Now, first of all what you will need:

A Kitchen, Appliances in this kitchen, Trays, Pans, a large wooden broom, a ping pong ball.
 
Have all that? Here's how to set up your court, put the wooden broom down the middle of the room, splitting it in half horizontally, so each player has an even size, then choose either a pan or a tray and play ball!
 
Each appliance has it's own good and bad points which are as following:
 
Trays : Larger surface area and better scoopage, good for serving and quick moves, bad for catching ball and power shots.
 
Pans : Better for catching the ball, made of metal so power shots are very good, makes a funny noise the makes me and Will (the brave)  giggle. Heavy so reation time is slower, now as accurate, difficult serving, more recomended to advanced players.
 
Now, there are a few variants to this game, for instance Kitchen Appliance war, it's an anything goes game where any appliance can be used, for instance a toaster and a Iron.
 
Ball extream, this is simple, no divider inbetween the two opponents, they have to hit the ball with their hand has hard as they can so it bounces back towards the other opponent and they do the same.
 
Tray Ball in which no pans are used, scoring methods are below
 
Rules: When playing with trays a pan is left in the corner, to score a ball must land in the pan.
 
Whilst playing tray ball (no pans) if the ball lands in the sink the player who didn't hit it into the sink gets a point, if the ball leaves the area of play (say through a giant hole in the wall behind one of the players) the person who hit it last gets a point deducted.
