'''Tsítskwo''' is a [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 field or shore; 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. |
