Superpowered Acrobatic Hypersonic Extreme Battle Bowling: Ball Stars!​

Mount Olympus houses the biggest bowling alley of all. Since the era of the Gods, the best bowlers have played on these lanes. Every century, the best and brightest bowlers play ball to earn the title of Baller and the godlike powers that come with this position in the tournament called: The All-Star Bowling Tournament! Mega!

This century's The All-Star Bowling Tournament! Mega! has players from all over the world that will try and qualify to play. From the Norwegian legend Odin Thorson, to the French queen of bowling Sunflower Latorre, every famous bowler is at the foot of Olympus trying to bowl their way to the top. And you, you've arrived as well, basking in the glory of this magical bowling alley. The goal is to use your bowling and your magic abilities to outplay every bowler and become our century's Baller.

The All-Star Bowling Tournament! Mega!

The trial begins in a free-for all bowling match. The rules are vague, but you know it's dangerous. Unlimited people enter. Only 32 leave. Make sure to survive this round, and then the journey really begins.

Now you've worked your way up to the points of legends. The only thing standing between you and godlike powers is winning this tournament. Your past the point of regular 10 pin bowling now. You're playing in Platinum Rank.

The first thing in your way is the group phase. Every bowler is put into a group consisting of 4 people. Each will play a game against another player in the group phase, and get awarded points for either winning or losing. The best two players will continue to the next round.

The next round is the Round of 16, where the 16 best bowlers will take each other on in a one-on-one bowling game. From here on, losing means you're out of the tournament. The game will change. Rules will shift and be adapted from the group phase. The winner continues to the quarter-finals.

The quarter finals leave only 8 bowlers to bowl it out. The best bowler proceeds. Yet another version of bowling. This kinda just goes on until we're at the finale and I guess someone wins there and gains godlike powers.

Your powers: Strikers

Every bowling player has this special ability, their Striker. A striker is magical ability, and inherent and extremely important to a bowlers ability to play. Strikers can vary from the ability to split your ball up into two, shorten the bowling lane, to having thunder strike the pins. Strikers can out in a plethora of different ways, some being more subtle than others. Knowing your opponent's Striker ability is the key to winning, especially in a game of Battle Bowling™.

Your powers: Balls

Some bowlers have found that they can throw more strikes using different kind of balls. These balls, and the way they're thrown, can vary from player to player. Some players prefer a bowling ball shaped more like a rugby ball, while others might prefer even more unorthodox shapes. An example of this is Norwegian legend Odin Thorson, who uses a hammer rather than a bowling ball.

Olympia Alley

The Olympia Alley is the biggest and baddest bowling alley of all, and it's more than that. It's a self-sufficient town, covered underneath the giant and magically supported roof of the bowling alley, that only has inhabitants once every a hundred years. But that's the name of the game. The alley has its own mall in the building, with a plethora of clothing shops, restaurants and other common facilities as well as a big flat that serves as the dormitory. Here the players each get their own bed- and bathrooms, although the living room and kitchens are shared. It is where the rivalries brew, they say.

The biggest part of Olympia Alley is of course taken up by the tournament stage, an arena that fits half a million people. It is easily adaptable and can house all the varieties of bowling that are played during the tournament.

Close to that humongous arena is the practice area. It's as big and holds lanes for every possible variety of bowling, and even other sports.

The biggest money maker is of course the bowling stores though. Another mall exists besides the regular mall, filled with a shop selling souvenirs, caps, shirts, bottle openers, and bowling balls for one of the contestants that placed. That's 32 shops already. Then there's a big bowling shoes store, a big bowling ball store, a big bowling supplies store, each also intended for contestant use.

There's also a parking lot.
