'''Dare Bock''' is an American athlete and the creator of the four-team sport known as '''Base It Ball'''. They serve as a professional player and the primary architect of the game's official 100-rule playbook.

== Creation of Base It Ball ==
Bock developed Base It Ball as a multi-team athletic game. The sport features a four-team setup where each team has exactly five players on the field at one time, creating a total of 20 active players during a match. 

== Gameplay and Scoring ==
The game is played with a specialized ball, and the objective is to navigate the field and get the ball into the opponent's base. 

The scoring system is based on an accumulation system where teams earn points whenever a ball successfully lands inside their own base circle. Under the official rules, the team with the most score loses every time, meaning the team that successfully defends their base and finishes the match with the lowest score wins the game.

== Official 100-Rule Playbook ==
The following is the complete, official 100-rule playbook established by Dare Bock for the sport of Base It Ball:

=== Field & Equipment Setup (Rules 1-10) ===
* '''Rule 1:''' The team with the lowest score at the end of the game wins.
* '''Rule 2:''' Each team's base is a 6-foot wide circular zone marked in bright neon paint.
* '''Rule 3:''' The official "Base It Ball" must be slightly heavier than a dodgeball but softer than a baseball.
* '''Rule 4:''' If a ball goes out of bounds, the team that touched it last receives it back but must throw from their knees.
* '''Rule 5:''' A 3-foot buffer zone exists around each base where offensive players cannot stand for more than 3 seconds.
* '''Rule 6:''' Teams must wear opposing high-contrast jerseys so refs can spot sneaky base-infiltrators.
* '''Rule 7:''' A standard match lasts exactly four 10-minute quarters.

* '''Rule 10:''' Each team has exactly 5 players on the field at one time.

=== Player Movement & Passing (Rules 11-20) ===
* '''Rule 11:''' A player holding the ball can only take up to three steps before they must pass or shoot.
* '''Rule 12:''' The ball cannot touch the ground; if it rolls, anyone can dive for it, but no one can kick it.
* '''Rule 13:''' Interceptions can only be made using one hand to keep defensive turnovers highly skilled.
* '''Rule 14:''' Once a player stops moving, they must establish a pivot foot and cannot lift it until the ball leaves their hands.
