L.A. Nightlight's Thomas Taylor runs with the ball to score a goal against Philadelphia Killawatts during an Ultimate Tak Ball game in Bangkok. The rules are simple: throw a ball into the goal to score a point. What makes this game unlike any other is that all the players are armed and ready with stun guns. Each game consists of three periods, with two teams of four players each. Any player in possession of the 24-inch medicine ball is open to unlimited shocking by the players on the opposite team. The stun guns pack 3 to 5 milliamps of electricity, about 10 % of the power of the taser stun guns used by police Photograph: Navesh Chitrakar/Reuters
