'''Tsítskwo''' is a paddle[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_racket_sports racquet sport] played using paddles to hit a birdie across a court. The most common way to play the game is "singles" (with one player per side) and "doubles" (with two players per side). Tsítskwo is often played as a casual outdoor activity in a yardfield or fieldshore; formal games are played on a rectangular indoor court. Points are scored by striking the birdie with the paddle and landing it within the other team's half of the court.
 
Each side is allowed to hit the birdie up to three times before it must pass over to the other team's half of the court. A match ends when the birdie hits the ground, a foul birdie is served, or the umpire calls a fault.
 
The birdie is a feathered projectile with a cork tip. The feathers on the birdie give it distinct aerodynamic properties that distinguish it from the balls in other racquet sports.
 
The game was first developed in the 6th century in the [[Yik|Yik Tribe]] of [[Kuduk]]. Originally, the game used a loop with stretched animal skin as the paddle and a walnut with feathers and string as the birdie. Following the [[Spirit Wars]] in Kuduk, the sport began to spread to most of the tribes around Kuduk and garnered significant popularity.
