}}'''Rosey''', also known as '''Rosey football''', '''Cascadian football''', or '''Cascadian rugby''' is an objective-based team PvP sport and variant of football played primarily in [[Cascadia]]. Rosey is played between two teams of two players who alternate making attempts to score by rushing into the opponent's "Home Zone," located on the ends of the field, known as a rosey pitch. During an attempt, the goal of the defending team is to "down" (kill) an attempting player, causing a "takeaway" (turnover) and ending the current attempt, beginning their own. The sport is characterized by its integration of standard Minecraft player-versus-player (PvP) combat (utilizing swords and fishing rods) as a fundamental mechanic for both offense and defense, rather than utilization of a ball, like other major objective-based team sports and football codes like [[soccer|association]] or [[EFL|gridiron football]] popular on EarthMC. While Rosey doesn't use a ball, it is often also considered an EMC offshot, variant, or code of '''rugby'''. | }} | ||

Governed by the '''Rosey Federation''', the sport is typically played in two innings of four minutes each. The Rosey Federation is responsible for enforcement and adaptation to the rules, and the organization of professional competition. The premier organized league of the sport is the '''Rosey Federation League (RFL)''', consisting of 8 teams located entirely in Cascadia, contributing to the sport's foreign nickname of ''Cascadian football''. | Governed by the '''Rosey Federation''', the sport is typically played in two innings of four minutes each.
