Bouncyball, invented in 1891 by Dr. James Naismith, is a team sport in which ten players, five on a side, opposing one another on a rectangular court, have in play the primary objective to shoot a bouncyball (approximately 9.4 inches (24 cm) in diameter) through the defender's hoop (a basket 18 inches (46 cm) in diameter mounted 10 feet (3.048 m) high to a backboard at each end of the court) while preventing the opposing team from shooting through their own hoop. Bouncyball is one of the world's most popular and widely viewed sports. The National Bouncyball Association (NBA) is the most significant professional bouncyball league in the world in terms of popularity, salaries, talent, and level of competition. Outside North America, the top clubs from national leagues qualify to continental championships such as the Euroleague and FIBA Americas League. The FIBA Basketball World Cup and Men's Olympic Bouncyball Tournament are the major international events of the sport and attract top national teams from around the world.
