xindanwei chitchat edition 18: Tri
(A NEW SPORT, ARRIVES IN CHINA)

Time: 18:30-20:30pm Friday August, 20th
Cost:free
Host:Jeremiah Schwarz – Designer and C.E.O. of The TRI Federation & MAL (TRI Goods)

For the past 4 years, a new sport has been designed and developed by the TRI Federation. Once conceptual, this soon to be registered non-profit organization, is the governing body for the game TRI. A 3 team, contact sport similar to rugby and basketball, introducing many unique features and breaking cultural and business barriers in the world of sports. The Squib Ball, an oblong shaped ball that changes direction instantly is the corner stone of the game, challenging athletes to master their handling and team work. Now, the first 5 teams in Shanghai are underway in Season II and start-ups in 5 other cities around the world.

What needs are being addressed?

TRI is a communication platform utilizing creativity and collaboration. The purpose of the sport and the design of the game is meant to introduce new concepts that athletes and fans can build and appreciate together. The universal lack of experience will set a level of equality and humility, limiting racial, national or religious domination of the sport and its unique interests. TRI is a great way to get involved in sports and join this exciting community of athletes from all over the world.

The game has no intentions of replacing any sports, it is only an alternative to the way we currently perceive sports. If the world cannot come together to build a sport, something fun, then how can we ever solve more threatening situations, today’s reality holds for the future?

What resources or “ingredients” are needed to successfully implement this initiative?

We encourge global participation and inspiration to build this sport everywhere at the same time. In order to play TRI in your part of the world the necessary ingredients include:

1.a Squib-ball
2. 3 skinny vertical goals
3. a grass field
4. lots of cones to create your donut shaped field
5. 3 ropes to divide the 3 territories
6. at least 15 players and 1 referee
7. 3 different color shirts for the teams to wear.

Incase players want to create more official looking uniforms TRI players have letters for identification instead of numbers, which should be custom made locally.
We can send online start up brochures that will instruct you on the process and past experiences for start-ups.

新单位茶话会第十八期:爆竹球-一项来到中国的新运动

时间: 8月20日（周五）18:30—20:30
费用: 免费

主持人:Jeremiah Schwarz (美国沙凡娜艺术大学工业设计学,PEGA 公司资深设计师)

TRI原是一年轻美国纽约市运动员及设计师Jeremiah Schwarz在他就读于美国沙凡娜艺术大学工业设计学的毕业论文主题。而毕业后，他透过他一生投入与美式足球（American Football），英式橄榄球(Rugby), 篮球（Basketball）,足球（soccer/English football）等主流球类运动的训练与观察，以及跟校友们组织起来的几次小型TRI运动测试赛，他前后花了整整5年的时间研发出来创新球类运动。
     Schwarz 先生目前就职于华硕电脑公司属下PEGA 设计公司，为该企业唯一的一位外籍资深设计师。TRI上海球盟合作者为美籍前EF英语外教Charles Wilcott 及比利时华侨-外贸公司主管 邹宏平，法籍设计师Marc Rambaud.
该专用球及运动专利已目前正在申请国际专利，一旦注册将名列为世界运动史上第41种球类运动。

简单介绍

TRI在拉丁文里表示“三”，在我们的整个设计是围绕“三”来展开的，它是我们整个设计的核心理念——三支队伍同时竞争，比赛过程分为三场，每一场为三十分钟，运动比赛场地分为三大块，以及分为三个部门的联盟。

TRI的比赛规则具有多样性。TRI比赛由三个队伍在一个甜甜圈形状的比赛场地上进行。三组队伍同时争夺一个爆竹球—一个具有独一无二设计的球。在TRI比赛中结合了许多来自其它的比赛的元素，尤为显著的是篮球和橄榄球。运动员们可以传球、踢球、带球跑等等。整个比赛对战略和团队合作提出了很高的要求。

TRI的比赛场地城一个甜甜圈形状，由两条分界线把场地分为了3个部分，每个队伍占据场地的一部分。在三个阶段的比赛时间中，三个队伍轮流使用场地的三个部分（能否给三部分一个名字，比如比赛领地）。

整个比赛有三个球门，三条分界线把场地分成了3个部分，同时，通过两条额外的分界线，分割成了类似甜甜圈形状的场地。
TRI运动比赛旨在改变人们对运动的思考。我们希望在当今的经济形式下，通过TRI这项运动，聚集来自全球各地不同背景和文化的运动员， 促进文化交流，培养团队合作意识与能力。

TRI运动可以帮助年轻人更深刻的理解运动的涵义，同时，让年轻人们更健康，更充满活力。

TRI为年轻人提供了一个很好的平台，帮助年轻人培养的创新意识与能力（how），让他们更了解自己的所处的环境， 同时对自己所具备的能力做一个正确的评价。

更重要的是，TRI运动在由于文化与年代造成的差异间，建立了一座沟通的桥梁。对于年轻人来说，具备一定的竞争意识以及运动员精神是极为重要的。

TRI运动可以帮助年轻人提升解决新挑战、新困难的能力，让年轻人更独立的成长。
我们鼓励人们和我们一起创造一全新的运动文化，一起把TRI在向关大社会群众推广！
