'''Gnome Ball''' is a [[members]]-only [[minigame]].<br />
[[File:Gnomeball goal.png|thumb|304px|A player shooting the Gnomeball.]]<br />
In Gnome Ball, one or more players aim to score goals against [[gnomes]]. This is done by throwing the [[gnomeball]] into the goal. [[Cheerleader]]s near the field will root the player on, announcing each goal and winning of the game. [[Ranged]] experience is gained each time the ball is thrown, and [[Ranged]] and [[Agility]] experience when a goal is scored. When players enter the field, they should talk to the referee to learn the rules and how to play.<br />

==Location==<br />
The Gnome Ball field is in the [[Gnome Stronghold]], west of the [[Grand Tree]].<br />

==History==<br />
[[File:Gnomeball success.png|thumb|119px|A player tackling another [[Gnome baller]].]]<br />
Gnome Ball has a long history amongst the [[gnome]]s, and is a major part of their culture. Many gnomes, such as [[Speedy Sam The Striker]], [[Great Thunder Legs MacKnee]], and [[Norda 'Steal Arms' van Druman]] have earned their living as famed Gnome Ball players. The Gnomeball is not tradeable in the Grand Exchange, but can be thrown to other players.<br />

==Playing the game==<br />
[[File:Gnomeball fail.png|thumb|206px|A player unsuccessfully trying to tackle the Gnome baller.]]<br />
* When you are ready to shoot, simply click on the goal, and you will shoot it. You will either score, or not.<br />
* When you reach 5 points, the game is won.<br />
* You can't wield anything in the field but a gnomeball, and you can't remove it. You can wear armour and capes, though.<br />
* You can't log out while in the field.<br />
* You can only pass to the Green-armoured gnomes (Optional to pass to them; They will pass back)<br />
* When a gnome tackles you, you lose health.<br />

===Tactics===<br />
A good tactic in Gnome Ball is to pass to a winger from the referee, before running quickly to a spot on the pavement. Remember that the spot directly in front of the net won't get you hurt by other gnome ball players, but this spot is not a very good for getting a score. The best place you can get a score in, is just a little bit in front of the circle, on the pavement. another good tactic is to throw it to a winger, and stand on little stone pavements close to the fence, (there is slightly more chance you will miss, but increases your range by a bit.)<br />
If players have 90+ range they can easily score from halfway after dodging a few tackles.<br />
<br />
==Rewards==<br />
* When players reach 5 points they win the game.<br />
** First - 4 Agility and Ranged experience.<br />
** Second - 5 Agility and Ranged experience.<br />
** Third - 6 Agility and Ranged experience.<br />
** Fourth - 7 Agility and Ranged experience.<br />
** Fifth - 5 Agility and Ranged experience, plus 25 experience bonus.<br />
* When five points are obtained, players may talk to the Gnome Ball referee to receive a [[gnomeball]].<br />
Note: <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);line-height:20px;">Winning multiple games in a row will not result in more than one gnomeball as a reward. To obtain multiple gnomeballs, you must bank each gnomeball (or have someone hold it for you) each time you win a game.</span><br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* When you pass to a gnome winger, you will have a selection to talk to them only while they have the gnomeball. If you try to talk to them, your text box will say, "Nothing interesting happens."<br />
* Gnome players walk, stand and talk like in the old graphics.<br />
* There is no option to talk to the Gnome ballers (red, orange and yellow team players).<br />
* You cannot shoot from behind the Gnome goal (net).<br />
* This game is a reference to [[wikipedia:Rugby|Rugby]] and [[wikipedia:American Football|American Football]].<br />
* When you attempt to throw a gnomeball at a player while the other player teleports, it says: [Player name] won't thank you for chucking balls at him/her while he/she is trying to teleport.<br />
* There appears to be blood splattered across the pitch from previous games.<br />
