Village's sporting options have hit rock bottom

Suffice it to say there aren't a lot of glass houses in Dhami.
Residents of the remote mountain village in northern India recently conducted their 100th annual Sati Pradha Mela competition, in which the residents divide into two teams and conduct a crude version of dodgeball. Using rocks.
This year's contest waged on for more than an hour, Asian News International reported, with the side having the fewest wounded declared the winner.
The severely wounded were taken to a hospital in nearby Shimla, while those merely bleeding were treated at several makeshift medical camps which, we assume, were just a stone's throw away.
Who we going to nominate for the event to represent swgtales.com?
/takes 1 step back
/yells 1 2 3 not it

Haha, wow, that is some crazy stuff. Reminds me of that ESPN commercial way back when which had some guy from India reporting on diving off diving boards into the ground. Sooooo funny.
