input is an intense game played basements across central mass. it is named after the screen on John Graves tv when there are no video games plugged in because it says input. the things needed for input are 2 Ping pong paddles, multiple Ping pong balls, 2 Tennis rackets, a Ping pong table, Plastic storage box tops, and a small area in a basement in wich to play. optional equipment: gardening gloves, sweat towels, grape soda, and a video camera. input can be played with either 2 or 3 players per team. when two are playing the positions are called Savior and Jesus. the savior acts as the goalie and uses a tennis racket while the jesus is the offense and uses the ping pong paddle. when playing with three there is a savior, a jesus, and a Prophet, wich uses the plastic box top and is allowed to pick up the ball but cannot move or throw the ball for a goal when they do. shoes are not allowed unless somebody brakes a light bulb. the rules are simple you start with a volley at the ping pong table in wich the ball must strike the table three times before play begins. goals are scored by hitting the wall with the ping pong ball. if a ball is broken the play resumes with a new ball and a volley in wich the team that had posession of the broken ball gets it back. after a goal is scored the whole team must get to their side of the court (midline is the net on the ping pong table) before another goal is scored. if a goal is scored before the team gets back it does not count. there is no grabbing of any other player or playing utensil. a team wins a game by getting 21 points first and winning bay at least two. a match is two out of three.

history- the game was developed by John Graves, Otis Falvey and Ron Hamwey. new dimensions of the game were added by Keenan LaBonte-physical play, Sampson Ashline- the savior curve, and Scott Lovingmen- the lights out punch.
