Ólbescból, commonly but not officially referred to as orbishball, is a sport played between two teams of three players with a spherical ball. It originated in Craitland, where it is considered the national sport, and is played, uniquely, on a carpeted and walled indoor court. The object of the game is to score by kicking the ball against the raised scoring area at one end of the court.

Players may touch the ball with any part of their body, but points may only be scored using the feet following the ball being released from the hands. Scoring of points occurs when the ball is kicked against the scoring area, which gains the team one point, with an extra two points being gained if the ball settles on the raised level below. Games are won by the team with the most points at the end of the match, which lasts for two halves of 25 minutes. Although there is no international organising body for ólbescból, Cräiteland Ólbescból is seen as the final word on its rules.
