I want to know why a placard is thrown into the air seemingly on every play.

looks to me like a game people would make while practicing with a longsword or something
-

-

Swiss isn't a language
-
That whip thing would make one hell of a weapon.... crazy swiss, they hate fast cars and speed, seem so quiet and docile. Course then you read about their insane defenses and how everyone has a gun... Yeah. Changed my outlook on them a bit lol
-
theres not really a word for that i guess... switzerland doesnt really have the "typical" rednek like the ones in the use...
-
I would probably say "hingerwäudler" or "püüru"
-
Could it have been a method of sending info across the hills?
-
How do you say "Redneck" in Swiss?
-
LOL i would love to play this!!! Probly drunk tho so when i get hit by a rubber puck going 160mph i wont pass out from the pain. Btw football, hockey, lacrosse, even baseball can be more dangerous. Now the swiss have cheese, chocolate, watches, and hornussen.

that seems pretty unsafe to swing a long metal wire in a full circle
-
what a stupid sport, someone get them a pig-skin
-
I am pretty sure that there are sports where they shoot a rifle :|
-
This looks like a really interesting sport. I wish there were places in North America to give it a try.

I see you're from Canada. If you like rolling green hills, you should visit PEI. You won't find any mountains there, however :P
