Stall Ball

Fast party side format where players survive by stalling a ball in a game feature; draining means elimination or loss of a life. Not IFPA-sanctioned.

About This Format

Stall Ball is a fast, social side-event format built for fun rather than formal ranking. Players queue behind a machine and take turns trying to "stall" a ball in a controlled feature such as a scoop, lock, or similar hold point.

How It Works

If a player successfully stalls, they immediately rotate to the back of the queue to keep the game moving. If they drain before stalling, they are either eliminated outright or lose a life, depending on the house rules for that event.

Party Format

Stall Ball is intentionally flexible and party-oriented. Organisers can run sudden-death or multi-life variants based on crowd size and available time.
