{{TOCleft}}'''Dinolition''' was a blood sport that was popular on the fringes of the Galaxy during the 27th century.

==Game Basics==
The sport involved two teams mounted on their beast of choice that faced each other for three rounds on a unique field. The teams had specified weight limits that allowed them to bring in mounts of various sizes in order to complete the varied matches that were presented to them. Frequently, there was the additional stipulation that any player demounted would not be able to be replaced. The contest lasted for three rounds, where the challenge for each round was decided by spinning a wheel with twenty game options. During the three rounds the competitors never know what game will come up. Each of the twenty games required different strategies for each game - sometimes they needed mass; sometimes they needed speed; sometimes they needed both.

The field, referred to as the ''pitch'', was larger and rounder than football field and when not used for Dinolition, it was usually used for the obscure sport of [[wikipedia:Cricket|Cricket]]. The dirt oval playing field had the shape of a shallow bowl and was surrounded by twenty foot high enclosures made out of crysteel. Similar to 20th century ice hockey, excited fans frequently pounded on the glass to cheer the athletes on.

===The Spectacle===
Dinolition was just as much about spectacle as it was sport. Before introducing the contestants, the arena walls would recede, allowing a hover platform to slide out and float to mid field. Upon the platform was the Wheel and the host, which were flanked by three humans and two [[HeavyG|HeavyG’s]] dressed in red and gold braided uniforms. They carried long brass trumpets that had red banners dangling from them and matching their uniforms.

At the ends of the stadium, about fifteen rows were cut away to make room for ornate thirty foot high doors. It is from these doors that the contestants would enter, riding their mounts. The captains of the teams are introduced and much fanfare is made.

===The Wheel===
The contest involves three rounds that are decided by the ''Wheel''. The ''Wheel'' is a tall wheel shaped board that shows twenty pie-like sections, representing fourteen different games, with each game represented by a different color. Certain games have multiple representation on the board, such as Joust and Dismount, which each have three slices on the wheel. In the novel, ''[[The All-Pro]]'', three of the fourteen games are referenced. In the novella, [[The Rider]], four additional games are mentioned. In an early draft of The Rider, one additional game was mentioned, but it was removed due to a continuity error. The known games are:
*Dismount (3 slices on the wheel)
*Capture the Flag
*Four Laps
*Push-ball (does not appear in canonical text)
*Tug-of-War
*Goal-Line
*Joust (3 slices on the wheel)
*Steal-the-Mount

==Teams==
===[[Roughland Ridgebacks]]===
The Roughland Ridgebacks are a popular Dinolition team from Roughland, New Rodina. In 2684, they were led by their captain, Poughkeepsie Pete, and his favorite mount, Old Bess the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Red and black were the team colors which was displayed on both Old Bess’ head to toe in red armor and Poughkeepsie Pete’s ornate, black and red armor. Pete would ride behind the head of Old Bess on a leather saddle while carrying a long, black lance. He was a squat, human man but his size didn’t matter as he was protected by high tech armor made to look ancient and covered in runes and scrolls and filigree decorated by endorsements. Because of Old Bess’ large mass, Pete would often use three other mounts on smaller dinosaurs as speedsters. In 2684, Pete’s additional teammates were [[Tony Koester]], [[Critter Clark]] and [[Ian Bahas]].

=== [[Reef Stompers]]===
The Reef Stompers are from [[The Reef]] in the Outer Reaches, but play their home games on [[Newton]], in the [[League of Planets]]. In 2684, they were led by a rider who was a [[Quyth]] [[Quyth#Leaders|leader]]. His mount was a four legged creature called a Spiderbear, which had one eye and two [[wikipedia:Pedipalp|pedipalps]] ending in sharp pinchers.

===[[Chachanna Resurrected]]===
The Chachanna Resurrected are one of the newest and well-funded Dinolition teams. Though they are from Chachanna, in the Sklorno Dynasty, they play their home games on [[Baker 6]] in the [[League of Planets]].

===Frontier Ancients===
The Frontier Ancients are a team based on [Wilson 4] in the [[League of Planets]]. One of their riders, Dominque Walker, suffered permanent crippling brain damage as a result of a kick to the head from Critter Clark's mount, Missy, during a game.

===Vosor 3 Gargantuans===

===Rodina Devastators===

===[[Loppu Ogres]]===

===New Tokyo Zillas===

===Goliaths===
Team captain Yim Guiying rides a Tarbosaurus named Patch (deceased, killed by the Chachanna Resurrected's mimtai).

==Points of Interest==
*In 2684, the Dinolition league Commissioner was [[Rachel Guestford]]. She frequently acted as the host and announcer at Dinolition events, where she would wear a yellow dress with silver stripes that complimented her silver boots, gloves and tiara. In that same year, [[Rachel Guestford|Commissioner Guestford]] extended her personal invitation to [[Ionath Krakens]] Quarterback, [[Quentin Barnes]] to come to on [[Wilson 6 (Planet)|Wilson 6]] to attend a Dinolition match. Since the band [[Trench Warfare]] was playing five shows on [[Wilson 6 (Planet)|Wilson 6]] during the same time, [[Quentin Barnes|Quentin’s]] girlfriend, [[Somalia Midori]] was able to accompany him.

*The high tech armor worn by the mounts protects the athletes in many ways. In the event that the athlete fell from his mount, there were small rockets that could be engaged to slow his descent. If the athlete was eaten by a competitor’s mount, the armor could shift to a more compact and round shape, sealing the athlete in. The armor had two days of oxygen which would allow the animals to excrete or vomit the eaten riders out. Armor could also, “turtle-up”, like a turtle shell which would protect the rider if he was knocked off his mount and into a commotion. The armor would then unfold once it was safe.

*Riders were allowed to use hand-wielded weapons such as a war hammer.

===Stadiums===
Dinolition events were held as close as [[Wilson 6 (Planet)|Wilson 6]], in the [[League of Planets]], and as far away as [[The Reef]]. On [[Wilson 6 (Planet)|Wilson 6]], Dinolition events were held at the Smithwicks arena, near the city of New Rodina. The arena had a 40,000 sentient capacity equipped with holoscreens for capturing close up action. Because the [[League of Planets]] had the most [[HeavyG]] citizens of all the governments, their laws prohibited racism against the large size of [[HeavyG]] persons. This meant that sporting facilities, such as Smithwicks arena accommodated [[HeavyG]] people by constructing the arena seats larger than the usual Human sized seats.

The '''Chillich Spider Bears''' is a [[Galactic Football League|Galactic Football League (GFL)]] team in ''[[The Starter]]''.

==Historical Notes==
Until last season, the ''Criminals'' had the dubious distinction of not only being one of the few original [[GFL]] teams to never fall to the lower tiers, but also to never have had a winning season. In 2682, however, the ''Criminals'' made their bid to join the league elite by posting an 11-1 record and making the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. The ''Criminals'' lost in the first round to the [[Lu Juggernauts]], but that did little to dull the rejoicing on Yall. The ''Criminals'' were founded in 2658 as the ''Yall Exterminators'', but [[GFL]] officials declared that moniker to be too offensive and forced a name change for the 2665 season.

The team is a [[Galactic_Football_League#TIER_1|Tier 1]] team within the Planet Division that also includes the following teams:
