The future...one of the most popular sports on TV is "Impossiball" - a simple premise often described as a full size version of air hockey with extra pucks. Two pilots go head-to-head in their anti-grav ships to protect their goal. Five hundred 'hard light' balls are served and the pilots must keep as many balls in play as posssible. As the sport grew more popular, new modes of play were added: the first was Dodgeball where pilots must skillfully weave their ship between the balls as they get bigger and faster. Then the Loneball game was introduced where the pilots must only deal with one ball(Storyline via IGDB)
