[@jord.an6123]

"He's like a dancer!"

[@bearsuitattack]

it still amazes me that everyone doesn't start with knee pads in the warehouse games, this is the second or third tournament they have done where one or two people start to put on knee pads during the tournament and by the end lots of people have them. just start with them, guys! cement is hard!

[@darthdrew95]

Is it just me or did Dalton step over the line on the game winner?

[@albinobluesheep]

@@darthdrew95 It (apparently) only matters for the first foot to come down after the throw, he got that one behind the line, then he fell forward over. Might be some room for clarification there, but that was pretty consistent for most of the tournament.

The evolution of gameplay from the opening match to the championship was a lot of fun to watch and fascinatingly satisfying. The commentary, top-notch replays from "the truck", and especially the title cards for rules popping onscreen when applicable were extremely helpful---and occasionally very funny. ("Warehouse brain is not a valid excuse") Congratulations to everyone involved! The JM team fkn rules.

Jom, I was a little skeptical during the first few games of this Slapball series but wow it came together. Thank you for all the work to make this so fun. I love to see this place evolve and grow

[@brunoemf90]

Great championship game Jimmy!! Had everything we could hope for. I’m sure rules will be tweaked a little come season 2, but finding a way to allow moving slaps should increase highlight plays a lot. I’m all for player safety, but for a game called Slapball I think there is too much emphasis on throwing because there are so many rules holding the slaps back. Regardless I will surely be watching again!

[@telefrancais]

If there's a shot of Justin Penik, there's a 50/50 shot that he's doing the Macarena in it.

The last 1 minute for the Story was all time warehouse, my god. What a fucking game, really good sport you guys invented! The Story's whole team came through, not a single person didn't contribute. Jake's defense and passing Dalton's insane clutch throws Joez improved defense Lou's amazing slaps and 2nd goalie play What a team, never had a doubt

[@samwalko]

Watching Dalton's footwork on that final goal (and throughout the series) was something special.

That championship game was nuts, insane how quickly everyone improved tactically and skill-wise as the season went on at a completely new sport. Still think a shot clock or ELAM could be a good idea but what a show. Dalton insane as always but shout out Joez and Lou, insane saves and just as Joez looked to be out of steam he came up with the biggest goal of the tournament

[@chinopinowarrior9022]

Elam ending is a really good idea 🔥

Am I the only one just yelling at BBD to go for a slap shot the entire match? He looked so open a ton of times.

I agree. I think they should have trust BBD to do his part and they would have won.

[@erica8863]

@@maryraifsnider5707 I don't think BBD was looking for shots at all. He was wide open for either slaps off the pass or self slaps all the time since they had people on Luke and Jimmy in the backcourt but BBD was always looking to pass.

[@jeffreyclark4862]

Gotta give him that rebound goal

[@MikeP2055]

Yeah, it seemed like Lou's goal in the championship---which was allowed---had more movement than Jack's, who was simply tipping over.

[@tateanderson213]

@@MikeP2055exactly what I was going to say. Jack and Lou’s goal looked very similar and Lous counted Jackson didn’t

[@chasestankievech]

Plus his knee/leg was planted. It was his centre of gravity that had him fall so I agree it should count. He’s not running into the play and one-timing it before he stops up. Don’t really think it’s the same thing

[@Ty93_]

I've watched almost everything to come out of the Warehouse and these Slapball games are some of the most fun yet. The passion y'all play with makes it for me. Not to mention it's obvious how much effort was spent to perfect the game and the viewing experience for us with the very first season. Really appreciate all the amazing content this company continues to provide and I hope to keep watching for a long time. Thanks, Jimmy.

[@rangerowneg]

HOLY SHIT!!! Jake drew up the play and they executed to it PERFECTION. Huge win Story, now we got a shake up in the captains league

[@jord.an6123]

"IT'S CALLED KICKING OFF!!!!!!!" This whole season has brought me so much joy Besides a-certain-replacement-player's near head-onto-concrete smash, it's been a flawless season of good, clean, slapball.

[@chanceottinger9899]

we just all gonna ignore jolly being on the line for that slap goal? 15:50

[@ColdFear22]

I was surprised no one in the building said anything about it.

[@Crushnaut]

Matty's fall was scary. Looked like he conked his head pretty good. Preventable with a little training on how to fall safely.

[@MikeP2055]

Yeah, I winced and yelled, "Oh shit!" Rourke falling on him after he had just crashed into cement looked like a recipe for a broken rib or two. I'm glad he was okay.

[@deadstickgaming3665]

I think just his hair hit. Maybe he's the toughest guy in the world but if you fall from standing and hit the back of your head *on concrete* , you're not just gonna pop back up like nothing happened. Definitely got lucky he and nobody else in that mess got hurt

[@bearsuitattack]

Pretty sure this is when he got his concussion and couldn't work or do anything for weeks.

[@jesusisagurl]

Whoever edited this is a genius. the cuts around the singing, and joez sliding are absolute comedy brilliance. This tournament and new sport are great and it was interesting to watch the strategies advance until the final. with a new round of rules it will be very good. Props to all of the production crew, how the shows have evolved and function deserve way more credit. and maddy getting aggressive was a highlight!

[@conorw4342]

Dalton with the CLUTCH gene. Absolute warehouse classic

[@michaelhockus8208]

awesome final. Dalton's throwing footwork is unparalleled

[@gustikscompany1172]

Genuinely, this game has so much potential, just implement a shot clock and for goodness’ sake allow slaps on the run (no jump slaps), those have consistently been the best looking goals!!!

[@imightbebiased9311]

Maybe 1 foot planted?

[@DR.64A9]

I think the planted slap is fine. Running slaps would lead to collision. I would prefer an offside rule where each team needs one player on both sides of the court. This would create more space for planted slaps.

[@deadstickgaming3665]

A shot clock will lead to more fatigue, more injuries, and more physicality which we don't want any of those things. Also not a fan of allowing slaps on the run, but I would be fine if they allow a pivot foot. You still have to be set, but you can move one foot to lean over more. The pivot foot has to remain planted until the ball is in the net

[@ryanjackson8831]

Jack’s falling goal being called “illegal” is robbery

[@aidanpearce9839]

Goal at 15:41 Jolly clearly had his foot in the crease. Terrible call by the officials, Rippers should file a complaint to the league offices to have the game replayed.

[@pathutchison7688]

Yea. Pretty weak. Takes a lot of the fun out if you don’t know the rules.

[@MrJamez87]

Jolly’s first goal was crease violation 🤨

[@matthewurbas8889]

By the end of the tournament, I have about 60% of the goals coming on throws, 40% slaps. And throwers had a .333 throwing percentage, while slap attempts had a .243 pct. Self-slap attempts I have at .216. Jimmy's team basically completely abandoned the slap in the final game and they almost pulled off the upset. This game is great but it really feels like a thrower's game right now. I really hope we see this again next year, but I also hope you workshop ways to even out the efficiency of slap vs. throw. Lots of talk about moving slaps. I totally get that you don't want people flying around in a crowded crease. But could we see moving slaps as ok if the slapper can maintain something like 1 additional step on a follow through? Other thoughts - a secondary arc beyond the goal crease where slaps are worth 2? Or, beyond which a self-slap can be done with just a straight toss to yourself, rather than a bounce? Guys floating around out there are obviously not seen as a threat for anything.

[@bearsuitattack]

I think with a round crease so it's equidistance from the goal everywhere and only needing to have one foot planted to slap would change a lot for the better. we'll have to wait and see what they change for the next one!

[@johndrinkwater153]

I am not getting this no jumping rule? There were multiple instances of Jake jumping to block a pass and it not getting called. I wish BBD would have gone for those Slapball goals a lot more. So many times he was wide open and didn't take the shot, I think it would have thrown Joez or Lou off if he did. Amazing games and truly impressed with what this company has accomplished and looking forward to more Slapball!

[@JsMaintenance]

Jolly's goal for goal number 4 shouldn't have counted. His foot was on the line. Champion ship game was awesome and had me on the edge of my seat. The jump rule is a little confusing because sometimes people get penalized for jumping but then sometimes they don't.

[@rangerowneg]

Rippers got robbed, how is a piggyback legal lmao his feet were in the air

[@bearsuitattack]

but they were planted in the air. check and mate.

[@bourassatj617]

Jolly olive getting a point out of this season feels criminal

[@marcusrees]

That's because it was criminal tbh. 2 Goodfellas goals shouldn't have stood, and Rippers should have been given one if we're being consistent with referee decisions

[@griffithd05]

Everyone arguing on the comments about the piggy back goal in the stink bowl is even MORE wild than the electrified championship game

​@@bearsuitattack Especially the wooden-spoon match curtainraiser - think of it more like an all-star game. those are referee'd a bit differently. Think that was more of a case of that - more than it was them 'being content creators' They take the warehouse pretty dang seriously.

Jolly on the line on that 4th goal. And what's the rule on moving while throwing like Jack does on goal 3 for the rippers.

[@alpaca_picnic]

lots of jumping here that wasn't called. they need to figure that rule out cuz there's no consistency

[@jord.an6123]

"cant jump to block PASSES" Sure they missed one or two calls. but the rules are pretty specific and unique. I too had to double check a few times when i thought things were illegal - but then checked. Jumping to do anything but block PASSES is a-ok afaik

[@taylorjohnson5148]

i know they dont want people hurt, but if that falling play from jack didnt count, shoulders shouldnt count either because the slapper's feet aren't on the ground :[ (I get it, one of Jack's feet wasn't quite planted. Was a sick rebound play, though)

[@bourassatj617]

Exactly. If you're gonna "rule of cool" allow the Goodfellas piggy back I don't get how Jack's goal doesn't stand.

[@isaiahhainline3840]

New rule idea... allow for moving slap goals to count off passes. Still have to stop when doing a self goal. Off a pass moving should be allowed.

[@_MjG_]

Just simplify it to 1 planted pivot foot for both pass & self pass shots.

[@vinnycannoli47]

Ngl the rules get flexible with The Story. Jake jumping around all game like a spider monkey and Lou getting a goal doing something very similar to something Jack gets called moving for

[@jimmyjoeman]

yeah i agree. the must stop before slap rule feels super abitrary as what constitues stopped. I didn't think Lous shot should have counted either if Jacks wasn't a goal. I think for shots off passes you should be allowed to move. It just makes the game easier to ref and more interesting overall

[@KingInky13]

I'm conflicted on the piggyback goal. Yes, Zo's feet were planted, but Rob's weren't. And it does seem like the rules were written specifically with safety in mind, and I feel that allowing that move could set a dangerous precedent. I love the ingenuity of the play, but I do think this should be addressed for next season (please, please, please, let there be more slapball!)

[@deadstickgaming3665]

I agree 100%. The slapper's feet were not planted which is the definition of that rule

[@grime-ndofficial9894]

This was allowed because these guys are content creators first. I don't like it personally. It's going to look really good on a you tube short. I hope things like this aren't regular and they save it for the we got ice videos. But the gamer and obsessive games rule follower in me knows this was not legal by their own rules. It's literally the first time in the several years of content they have made that I have questioned the integrity of their games... Or maybe I'm taking it too seriously who knows

[@_MjG_]

@@grime-ndofficial9894 Interesting it took you until now to question the integrity of their games. In all the slapball games combined, they had 3 other goals counted where the foot crossed a line & shouldn't have counted, not to mention a few where the players feet weren't planted. In the first floorball tournament nearly 2 years ago, the Worm Burners were easily the most dominant team in Warehouse history in comparison to the competition. They won their first 2 games 5-0 & 10-3. After that Jimmy made them fake play games closer for entertainment sake. The Worm Burners won their final 2 games 3-1 & 2-1, but they were clearly goofing around a lot in those games, not playing close to their potential. With the Worm Burners acting job, it was like watching the WWE. That left a bad taste in my mouth because those 2 games felt so fabricated.

[@cwolf208]

I think they allowed that one for content.

[@jord.an6123]

@@grime-ndofficial9894 I think you're questioning it the first time because its genuinely the first time they've ALL, KNOWINGLY, allowed something to stand just because it looked cool. IMO They usually take the rules in the warehouse leagues/tournaments pretty darn seriously. Any mess up's are accidental I've seen A BUNCH of cool shiz chalked off due to penalties-& I can't think of ANY other examples of clear ref errors that led to tik uniquely cool moments/clips Arguably: it's the competitiveness, rules following, and sometimes genuine anger/happiness that makes the warehouse fun. The silly competitiveness, stats-nerding, occasional trick-shot-nonsense, genuine-skill etc IS HEIGHTENED by their commitment to the rules mattering. The goofs only work when they have a strong foundation to subvert, right? There'd be no 'content' to do it for if 99% of the games were serious and rule follow So yeah. Your Honor If it pleases the court, I posit that we should acquit jomboy media LLC of all wrongdoing and they retain their integrity in the eyes of the fans :)

Would love to see an Elam ending implemented in season 2. Once there’s 2 minutes left in the game, the clock shuts off and the winning teams score +1 becomes the target score. Would lead to every game ending on a goal and end all shot clock debates. No need to worry about overtime either.

As pointed out below, why cut the clock off at 2 minutes? Just have the clock count off as much time as you want and then run the Elam Ending rules after that. Your suggestion doesn't account for ties, either, as there's no leading team. I'd also say that if it's a close game (say, within 2) then "next goal wins" for the winning team is too abrupt.

I simply don't get why they don't let BBD fire a shot when he is often times completely unguarded out front of the cage.

Just my speculation but seemed like Jimmy didn't trust BBD that much with the ball. Would rarely throw it to him and whenever BBD had the ball Jimmy would be constantly calling for it

[@Crushnaut]

@@rangerowneg They were focused on throws. BBDs role was to pull defenders off Jimmy and Bro. I don't think it had to do with trust in BBD, but more Jimmy thinking the meta was throwing. I do agree though the BBD was under utilized. He would have pulled more defenders if they used him for some slaps here and there to punish leaving him unguarded. That would have help their throwing too.

In their latest Morning Meeting podcast, Jimmy calls this the "game where you got hurt" and Matty was saying he might not watch it. So I think a concussion is a safe bet.

[@christianstewart9453]

It never ceases to amaze me just how absolutely Electric this shit is! I love it so much!!!! Gets me on my feet! And its just guys in a warehouse playing for nothing but the spirit of competition. I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!! I LOVE THIS COMPANY and if I had a genie, id 100% use one wish to meet Luke O'Brien.

[@Pecker010]

Slapball is the innovation at its finest. It's my first year watching the warehouse games, and I'm in for life now.

[@UberTastical22]

The championship was undoubtedly the greatest game of Slapball ever played. The skill on display was incredible. The strategy was great. The exhaustion palpable. What a finish. What a sport!

[@BobLeeeSwaggga]

I feel like this could be a legit sport lol this looks like a ton of fun

[@The94Nut]

Correct me if I’m wrong, goal at 4:45 shouldn’t count because the slapper didn’t have their feet set. And the goal at 19:09 shouldn’t count because it bounced twice before it got to the goal.

[@Tazz5496]

Love getting amped up for the ending of a newly made up game played by ordinary dudes

[@MikeP2055]

PIN THIS COMMENT, JOMBOY TEAM MEMBER RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT SORT OF STUFF. That's exactly why I love the Warehouse so much. It reminds me of playing street ball, kick the can, etc with all my friends from the neighborhood as a kid. I'm a sucker for sentimentality and nostalgia, haha.

[@johnnydropkicks]

Next Slapball tournament: Draft cardio.

[@daltonarford8006]

All time Warehouse moment. What. a. game.

[@Tombomb615]

Guys, let me just say, PHENOMENAL third place game. Loved what I saw there, what a fun sport! Great tourney y’all!

[@JOyo246642]

Jolly's goal at 15:42 looks like a huge crease call miss? (or at least deserved a look)

[@cheeseysocks3148]

the national anthem was phenomenal.

[@dfp_01]

Didn't think Danny was gonna get those high notes but he nailed 'em, mad props

[@wafflemaker6590]

that victory graphic was sick

[@layneconway7196]

The 6-6 goal from The Story just didn’t go in

[@tontojudo7692]

At first keeper knocked it in

[@roberthatcher2555]

Jack Doyle's performance in the captain's league just reinforces the old saying that "not all good soldiers make good generals"

[@chrislau86]

holy crap what a game! Blitzball brought me to this channel not long ago, but this was so much fun. After watching their many Blitzball struggles and heartbreak, really happy for guys like Lou (nice goals!), Joez (awesome saves and clutch goal!), and Jake (the leader and point guard). And of course, can't leave out MVP Dalton. Good shit fellas!

[@MeW_37]

That man can really sing sing! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Best National Anthem since Jake in Blitzball!

[@marshie1337]

that anthem performance... holy shit man he killed it

[@Jafooly73]

Jake with an insane cool head to call the timeout at the end. BBD was wide open every time he got the ball but bizarely decided to never self slap.

[@chrismarston4266]

If Lou’s goal counts, so should jacks diving goal. Lou’s left foot was moving when he hit the ball but was planted before. Jacks left foot was moving when he hit the ball but planted before.

[@jackrisius9744]

I think a neat rule would be that the defense can't have 2 people in the crease if the ball is not in the offensive zone. Prevents double goalie on shots.

[@UberTastical22]

A double header? We are truly blessed

[@jord.an6123]

Best sport ever. I SCREAMED when they did the on-the-back-play Also "i need my brisk" was my fave doyle-idm today

[@jord.an6123]

Okay i changed my mind. Best doylse-ism was: "His submissive hand" 37:50

[@ToadKart64]

To anyone saying that the illegal piggyback goal didn't matter because it was in the 3rd place match: Jack could end up relegated as a captain off of that. He's way better set up than Jolly in the draft for Blitzball and Floorball so it probably won't happen, but to say it's in a "goofy game that doesn't matter" is just untrue.

[@StratGame126]

This season was awesome and I think this was an awesome start for Slapball. I love how you adapted handball to the Warehouse and this very likely could be my favorite warehouse sport after a little bit of time.

[@ViperKingYT]

Incredibly entertaining league, slapball has some real potential

[@Hoop27]

Slapball has been a lot of fun! One change I would seriously consider would be that only the designated goaltender can be inside their own crease to make a save since you have a change of possession rule dependent on a save. Suppose you could shrink the crease by a few inches on all sides as well to allow a bit more room for the slaps.

[@_MjG_]

Shrink the crease & net size, allow only 1 goalie inside the crease. I also think a slap shot should count if done off of a planted pivot foot, not to require both feet to be planted. They can't allow a moving slap shot (no foot planted) because of risk of injury.
