To make any ball-game more interesting to viewers, a second ball should be added in gameplay.
Imagine this: Arsenal v. Man Utd., the match will decide which team wins the premiership. On the Arsenal Half: Van Nistelrooy's got the ball and is racing towards Seman and Co. with Scholes and Giggs in
company; but ooohhhh, there is Dennis Bergkamp executing another one of his trademark split-the-defense passes through to Thierry Henry on the other side! Henry has just Barthez to beat! Van Nistelrooy completes a deft one-two with Seba Veron and slots the ball home past Seaman's outstretched right hand! The lead lasts just 2 seconds as Henry, on the other end, blitzes past the diving Barthez and taps the other ball in!
Other sports could also use the same extra variable. Basketball can be totally revolutionised. I have no idea how rugby works... But I'm guessing it'll help there too.
This could also be adopted in doubles matches as far as tennis is concerned. Maybe one can even bring in a third player on each side!
The possibilities are endless...

Baked in silly recreational activity everywhere, just not professionally. |

Hope you didn't stretch your brain too much on this one. |

Bowling would really be the best for this. That extra arm just flails around. |

I tried this with ping pong and died. |
|
| |
I'd need the first one, first. |
|

Don't start that again, please! |

Well, in order to start I would need the first one. |

As [snarfy] said, I did this when playing football with my son just this last Monday. |

Baked on pinball machines the world over. |

I was talking about this with my flatmate the other day. I like the idea, but suggest the rule change that play stops when a goal is scored, and both balls kick off from the centre line again. I think that this would give a wider range of tactics, especially if one side was in possession of both balls. |
