The project proposes a highly complex hybrid sport ('WarBall') combining football, martial arts, weaponry, and live animals. While the concept is novel, the submission lacks practical feasibility, technical detail, and verifiable traction. Claims such as 'most people have used my product' appear factually incorrect for a niche concept, and the inclusion of elements like 'rocketry' and 'safe arrows' raises significant safety and logistical questions. The revenue metric is confusingly stated as 'marketcap', indicating a lack of business maturity.

Description
WarBall is football with safe weapons, Martial Arts plus women warriors and much more. Our football is integrated with a fighting stick, so that once caught or used by the runner it can fend off the defenders in a safe manner (no clubbing or stabbing). We have patented disabling devices that harmlessly impair vision and movement when sharply (but not hard) struck by weapon or hands. WarBall appeals to fans of football, Martial Art or MMA, women viewers, animal lovers, archers, ancient weapons use, and rocketry. Please remember it is still football, same formations and most of the same rules. With horses and canines, people of all ages and sexes would be attracted. More women will view WarBall, more so because strong emphasis on WarBall being more visually artful. There are style points awarded for graceful moves or strikes that can be cashed in for first downs, or negating a penalty. Women and people of all ages (within reason) are eligible to play. We are football but also use archers with safe arrows to "tackle" a ball carrier with an arrow strike. Our rules are designed to make WarBall based on skill and is thus safer and inclusive: You must FIRST engage weapons (a fighting stick is our primary weapon) or martial arts move in an authorized manner BEFORE attempting a tackle OR block. The effect is to eliminate high impact body shots coming from any direction. A petite woman proficient with the stick can overcome a huge defensive lineman and sack the QB. So if you think a running stick and safe sword fight with arrows flying sounds like fun, wait till watch someone catches the patented WarBall football and tries to gain yardage while teammates block using weapons or legal strikes or kicks. This translates to high emotions and great fan engagement. We have a non profit subsidiary that returns profits to worker's charities in countries that host our sport. We foster cultural understanding mixing sports of the East and West and it safer to play for kids.
