Dorga
This game is popular on the lower plateau, but has been spreading to other regions. It's a team game played on a field that is about 300 feet in length. The teams try to move the ball across the field to the opposing team's side. The ball is an oblate spheroid that can be carried, kicked or passed. [The game is almost identical to Rugby League Football.]
In Mandrigoran Rules Dorga, there are 7 players on each team, each half consists of 15 minutes, there are no substitutions and tied games continue until someone scores a decisive victory.
In Satiedan Rules Dorga, there are 13 players on each team, each half consists of 30 minutes and each team is allowed only six substitutions during the game. Time is strictly observed and games may end in a draw.
Mandrigoran rules are most often used for amateur players, and Satiedan Rules for professional teams.
The game is mostly a local affair, with a few leagues that draw players from wider areas. Since the local trade gate system was constructed, there has been an annual Mandrigor-Satieda tournament that is always held on the home field of the current champion.
The game is ancient and has been played in one form or another for centuries.

Is there a professional or amateur dorga league in Karthis? Could it be played in the Octagon? Are there any other venues that could support a game of dorga?

Is there a professional or amateur dorga league in Karthis? Could it be played in the Octagon? Are there any other venues that could support a game of dorga? There are several amateur clubs that play Mandrigoran rules Dorga. They play in various fields around town. The Octagon doesn't do dorga tournaments. Dorga requires a rectangular field about 300 feet long and 186 feet wide*. The floor of the Octagon is 240 feet across, not quite long enough for a dorga match. There is some interest in creating a professional team, but that would require a professional stadium. *These dimensions do not include either the end zone or the sidelines.
