Urban Brawl is an officially non-lethal sport where teams compete in an actual urban environment. The goal is to bring a ball into the enemy's base, incidentally causing as much mayhem as possible (the rules clearly state that the object of the game is to score goals, not kill opponents). All Cyberware, non-heavy weaponry, and some armor are permitted. Use of magic is limited to magical healing and visible, showy effects. Fatalities are a common occurrence.
Urban Brawl can trace its origins to a French gang war that turned into a corp multimedia circus in the 2020s. The fad took root in Northern America before Europe (busy with EuroWar). The first North American championship was held in 2037; the first international, in 2046 (International Urban Brawl World Cup is now held every two years).
A lesser version, called 'Arena Brawl' is played in closed arenas, but it is considered less exciting and is, thus, less popular.
The Seattle Urban Brawl team is called Seattle Screamers.
