The "Pillow Fight League" is a semi-professional sport based in Toronto, Canada. This sport involves a somewhat "public" fight with pillows, of course. The game resembles wrestling and boxing in many ways. The first game to be formally held took place in Canada, but, later, the same events were also held in New York City and other regions of Quebec. However, the primary home of the games remains in Canada.
Pillow fighting has a codified set of rules but this hasn't prevented several fighters playing and participating in the sport to still get injuries -- mostly cuts and bruises. Sometimes, teeth indeed have been lost, muscles torn, and lips split. To keep participants and audience alive and enthusiastic, several live performances have been introduced into the event. Different bands perform and get the attention of viewers, which adds more thrill to the overall event. Nothing like a live audience to make a whole event more amazing.
Pillow fighting include women fighting, as well as men fighting. A woman's fight has a five minute time limit and the contestants can win the sport with "pin fall", or "referee stoppage", or even surrender. Moreover, if the fight ends with no winner, a winner is simply declared by a committee. Clothes lines, punching, submission holds, leg drops and several other movements are allowed.
However, the pillow must be in hand while making any extra movement. Furthermore, the decision of judges is based upon the warnings that are given by the referee to the contestant while holding and snatching opponent's pillow. No biting, hair pulling and scratching is allowed. The competitors are not allowed to use any foul language and behavior. Contestants are also not allowed to place any hard object in the pillow.
