Rocketball (2008)
A new event for the second season of the 2008 revival. Two Gladiators and Two Contenders begin the match at the corners of the arena. When each competitor presses a button, they are launched via their harnesses into the air toward two goals at the center of the arena. The contenders try to score by throwing balls into the hoops, while the Gladiators play defense. Goals in the lower basket are worth 1 point, while goals in the upper basket are worth 2. This event can be described as "Powerball" meets "Swingshot".
