Hello everyone and welcome to read my introduction post. I'm not a remarkable sports figure or a journalist, as I'm more known from carb rich baking, which usually doesn't go too well with the sports. However a service built around sports is an interesting step towards interesting use of the blockchain technology. The specialty on Scorum (if it'll stay successful) will hopefully be the rich community filled with different kinds of sports, easy to find for all readers and authors.

I'm one of those who are more into less known sports, as soccer and tennis are not as close to my heart as all the exotic and special sports. One example could be a Finnish game called "Mölkky", which is my personal favorite sport. 

4 point pin fallen down in a game of Mölkky.

The game and it's success is not limited to only Finland, but Mölkky is played around the world and it has become somewhat successful in France, where the nation which loves pétanque has found a somewhat similar sport requiring both skill and strategy.

The point of Mölkky is to throw the mölkky at the pins, each having a number on the pins. If you get more than one pin to fall down, you'll get points based on the number of pins fallen down. However, if only a single pin falls down, you'll get the points based on the number on the pin. A pin leaning on another pin (or mölkky) is not counted as fallen over.

So if you fall down only pin with number 12, you'll get 12 points. Fall down pins 12 and 10, you'll get only 2 points as two pins have fallen down.. which makes you really to practice your aim!

All the pins are lifted up on the point they are lying down on, so by time the pins typically spread further and further away from the players. The goal is 50 points and going over 50 drops you down to 25 points.

A successful throw falling down some of the pins.

There are some other rules, but I'm assuming the world is full of special and exotic games like this. Sports can bring people together even without being a multi-billion industry and without big sponsor contracts.

I'm hoping I can open special sports like Mölkky to all of you - with good luck, someone will get interested and find a new sport to love!
