 ==== • Mud Tennis ====
 *[[Sector2/Erlaened]]: Erlaenadian Mud Tennis is known throughout the sector and the friendly birds of this planet are extremely good at it. The yearly Royal mud tennis championship is a four week tournament held in the capital Fuut. The winning team can take the massive golden egg to their home planet for one year. Visitors are advised that shiny reflective objects of any type are banned on Erlaenaded, and invitations to 'feather the nest' should be politely declined at all costs. ([[Famous Planets]])
 *[[Sector7/Gexean]]: The humans on this planet are obsessed with entertainment and have traditions going back for thousands of years. They are avid climbers and have called all their ancient mountains above three thousand metres Munros. They also have a weird habit of playing Mud Tennis on the top of these high peaks. ([[Famous Planets]])
 *[[Sector7/Esarxeve]]: The small green insects of Esarxeve have a colossal inferiority complex. They seem to resent being across [[The Great Rift]]. Not even the ancient mountains are enough to keep the mass exodus from the planet. But they are more than proficient at the Mud Tennis Wimbledoon. ([[Famous Planets]])

 Situated on the northern continent of the planet, the association organizes the annual Galactic Cup and its members provide stewards and referees with training. Competition for the system hosting the cup is supposedly decided upon merit, although many complain that the hosting is fixed, Tiared having hosted the last five competitions.

 [[Tibecea (Rough Guide)]]: Every fifth Hundredth Day there is a snowball competition between the denizens of the Eight Octants. The populace, dressed in their traditional fur coats, assemble at the lower plateau of Mount Ahruman. As they watch, the regional champions roll a large snowball up the lower slopes of the Mountain, accumulating mass as they roll. It is not unknown for the opposition to secretly ice part of the slopes, in the hope that the opposing champions will slip and be crushed beneath their snowball as it reverses and makes its way back down the slope. The largest snowball to make it to the top wins the championship (within the time specified by the Knucklebones of Negation) and the regional roller is feted on the triumphant return to their octant. It is not unknown for fights to occur when matters look as though they have been manipulated in one interest or another, and the death toll can run into the dozens. <br>
 It is also not uncommon for the Minor Council to purposefully arrange for a snowball competition for visiting dignitaries, to provide sport and honour them with a spectacle. The last such ... lasted for three hours and witnessed 39 deaths (three by defenestration), eighty-seven shattered limbs and forty-four broken ribs. It was widely acclaimed as one of the best such spectacles for several decades.
