Gnome Ball

RS

This is a dangerous minigame. Only bring items you can adequately defend or items you are willing to lose.

The Gnome Ball field is in the Gnome Stronghold, west of the Grand Tree.

Gnome Ball is a minigame in which one or more players aim to score goals against gnomes. This is done by throwing the gnomeball into the goal. Ranged experience is gained each time you throw the ball, you get Ranged and Agility experience when you score a goal too. When you enter the field, you should talk to the referee to get the rules, and how to play.

Playing

A player shooting the gnomeball at the goal.

You may need to bring some food due to the rough nature of this game. The objective of the game is to get a ball from the referee and throw it through the net at the other end of the pitch, utilising your Agility skill to dodge and tackle your opponents and Ranged skill to shoot at the goal. This may sound simple, but there are a lot of gnomes between you and the goal, all with the intention of stopping you.

On the pitch, you will discover that you have three new game options. They are:

• Pass - This allows you to pass to your gnome teammates, who will be wearing green.
• Tackle - Choosing this option will allow you to tackle a gnome on the opposing team.
• Shoot - This gives you the ability to shoot at the goal.

You will have to make your way up to the other side of the field while dodging any gnome ballers tackling you. Remember that the gnomes on your team will help you. Pass to them while being chased by the opposing team, and they will pass it back to you.

Attempt a shot once you are near the goal. For every successful goal, you will receive Ranged and Agility experience. When you are ready to shoot, simply click on the goal, and you will shoot it. You will either score, or not.

Tactics

A good tactic in Gnome Ball is to pass to a winger from the referee, before running quickly to a spot directly in front of the net. The ball will be passed back, and you can try to score.
