looks like insane amounts of fun but it'll never catch. Personally i think most sports are so popular becasue theyre easily accessible and anyone can play it. An example is like soccer, all you need is a ball and you can play soccer, or like basketball all you need is a basketball and just go to a local hoop, and i doubt there are many parks with kronum goals in them. Just my opinon but it does like like so much fun

Sports like football and skiing still do very well though, i think it's nice to see a new sport out there. I hope they do well and become popular.

hahah some kids that went to my school thought this was the coolest sport ever, so they all started making the nets, or whatever and they were trying to start a league. But then i think they noticed nobody knew what Kronum was.. hahah

IMO you suggesting this is like quiditch makes it seem lamer than it is.  A girl at my work is going to join a quiditch team and I kinda make fun of her for it.  Who am I really to say what is or isn't a sport but I do believe that quiditch should be left in the harry potter movies and novels.  Not played as a real sport.  This does look Effing Amazing though I would play this game to see how I like it.  This is gonna be added to the list of sports I wanna try, so that makes this and that crazy soccer they play on the side of a building.

HEY EVERYONE!

Saw you were interested in Kronum!

You certainly can play if you really want to, Kronum was not played at any colleges as of last year & I changed that by starting the first college level club and brought it out of state.

Check us out & Message us if you wanna get involved!

needs more Chinese Checkers influence: multiple teams, since there are multiple goals.

I'm all for people getting outside and running around and having fun. That said, it blows my mind that there are enough college aged kids that are willing to run around with brooms between their legs playing a fictional game out of a children's novel to field teams and play quidditch. Literally blows my mind.
